DMX-IN. Utilizing a numeric keypad, integrated track ball, automatic palettes and syntax
keys, programming on ORB is familiar to both beginners and experienced professionals.

well as macros and groups, 1000 cue stacks of 1000 cues and 2 playback masters adding

A familiar programming interface gives the ORB users the flexibility of customizing displays
and default settings, truly making the desk their own. Show files can be cross-loaded be-
tween the Leap Frog 48 & 96 and Frog 2 and imported from the original Frog range and ASCII
show files. Fixture swap out to any of the internal fixture library of 1900 fixtures makes the
desk ideal for touring shows, while external touch screen support* and an ergonomic design
mean the console will be equally at home in a venue for every day use. No matter your show
format, the ORB gives you the tools achieve your lighting goals.
Industry standard Ethernet protocols and 5 pin XLR connectors gives flexibility in output
options, while Ethernet support for visualiser and free Windows Mobile software provide
