  1. Hello the new apps now work fine as far as I can see we have the CommandLine window as a Menu-Item which is fantastic !! thanks a lot !!! ) just a little question the wheels don't appear (no image); but this is not a problem at all... I even prefer the empty screen (as it is) as long as the finger- movement does the job and that works fine !! I am just wondering (and did not find) how to change "wheel-pages" (with more than 3 parameters for a given attribute)? sliding seems not work.. in the colour window; as someone else told before: the white colour is labelled "black" in the playback-window (in the app) the Flash-button lits blue when activated; the fader position is a small bar (not always clearly visible) would it be very difficult for the developer-team to fill the space below the fader-position (or the fader position itself) with a lighter colour ? maybe blue ? that would be marvellous with an instant view of each fader position !! thanks and friendly greetings
  2. thanks, Jon... Remote App works fine again... yipehh thanks but there is still the bug with personal wheel-groups (not recognized)
  3. hello maybe you should try on your console... in my case and with the Solution Desk the function that you related stills works as it should (and with the latest "public Beta OS" ) on Solution desk the combination is MEMORY button + the Flash button of the desired Playback (but maybe Orb is completely different... I don't know !!!)
  4. Hello did you restart the console after setting it to DHCP ?
  5. Hello Jon I just gave it a try and all seems to work fine... the wheels now appear also; fine !! thank you !! but there is a little issue with the (virtual) wheels : normally on the console and for the thumb-wheel when pushing it to the left, the value increases; in the app when turning to the left the values decrease (just like it was in ZerOS7).... there is one other thing I told you already about : when launching the Remote App the virtual numeric pad comes up first (which is a very good thing) but then it disappears and there is no way to get it back (at least I didn't find any way or menu-item to get this back ... except when relaunching the app ...but maybe I missed something ??
  6. hello I have a Parallel-Desktop Licence, very useful for software that is only available on Windows.... but it would be much easier to have Mac-Version .... (and most Softwares now are available for Windows AND Mac-OS...) thanks for the hint "winebotter" which is a free "windows emulation"; I just tried that and it seems to work very well !! (even phantomOS seems to run well ! I once bought WinOnX but this is not very operational (only some rare Window-Softs really run correctly on it !!) thanks anyway for the answer (.... and maybe one day, Eaton and Zero88 will publish some "real" MacOS-software...??..!! )
  7. Hi there is there any chance to get the Fixture Tools for Mac-OS in a near or far future... ??...
  8. are you shure that you really own a valid licence for your Cast-WYSIWYG Software ?????
  9. Hello Capture workes fine for me (Solution Desk) so there might be some errors in your network-setup ! do you connect by a Wi-Fi router ? or by "wired" ?
  10. hello Pierre et bienvenue yepp il n'y a toujours pas de mode d'emploi en français (Axente semble s'en fichtre de la législation française, ce qui est très curieux, je trouve !) pour un éventuel entre-aide, pas de souci; si tu as des questions n'hésite pas !! (tu trouveras mon email dans mon espace "profile"... si je peux aider ce sera avec plaisir !!) sache aussi que le developper-team nous prépare actuellement un tout nouveau firmware qui héritera de toutes les fonctionnalités des FLX !! ce firmware est actuellement en beta-test et c'est très prometteur !!
  11. SELECT it (in the Submaster or Memories window) ->LOAD -> edit it -> and than UPDATE it
  12. hello go to SETUP- Edit Fixtures - Patch select channel 20 (for exemple Shift+Flash-Button) change DMX address from 20 to 1 (if initial patch was 1:1...) then click add to add other DMX addresses (2 to 5 in your example) -> Duplicate1, Duplicate2, Duplicate3..... etc etc....
  13. this friend of mine with his "newer touchscreen model" downgraded to firmware 7.7 and actually is doing his shows with this Firmware in attempt for new Firmware 7.9 where new drivers for Iiyama touchscreens should resolve the issue... unfortunately the latest Betaversion of this new Firmware won't work for Solution Desks (only for FLX and Orb) so I don't have any further informations... my own touch-screen Iiyama T1731SR (3 years old) still works fine with the latest Firmware 7.8.36
  14. Hello did you read this topic ? http://zero88.com/forum/topic/7251-solution-and-touchscreen/ newer Iiyama T1531SR do definitely not work with Firmware 7.8 you can read also this page (Knowledge-Base) Zero88 say : *Please note: We are currently investigating reports that some recent shipments of this model monitor are not working. We believe Iiyama may have changed componets and drivers within the monitor, without changing the model number. We are in talks with Iiyama to try and resolve this as soon as possible. (13/11/2015)
  15. Hello Jon told me once that some connected USB devices draw too much current which can lead to dramatic slow-down or even abort of start-up loading !
  16. they did not forget it; this feature is available in mode 14-channels (as with most other fixtures handling "color-groups", it depends the channel-mode you are using if you want to change colors, group by group or all together at once !! so, the easiest way : if you want to control all groups together put the fixture in mode 14 channels if you want to control these groups separately put the fixture in mode 34 channels by the way : you should read the manual because even in 34 channel-mode (separate groups) you can change colors at once for more than one group or all groups together... look at channel 26 for colors and chanel 27 for group-selections.... !!!!!!! with your Solution Desk, you can also create exclusive Submasters (one for R, another for G, another for B, and another for W, -> be shure to get "tagged" the desired color for all groups and to untag on every exclusive Sub the three other colors and have the Submaster-Control preference in ColorMode !) important also : the default values for all the colors have to be at zéro (if not, exclusive color control won't work correctly !)
  17. hello try with "Smart-Tag" ON ; that should work; you'll find Smart-Tag on the "Special-Page"
  18. Hello if I understand right your purpose (I never worked with FLX) I guess this is a step forwards how Congo and Cobalt is working.... I would like that (even if that would mean to reconsider - and reprogram- some of my showfiles) having multiples stacks with free playback assign would be for me a really great feature ! please don't forget a really really important lack in the actual ZerOS => there is no possibility to export or print the patch-file (this thing is sooo essential and you promised it since a long time already) ASCii, SCV, XLS, or TXT export would be marvelous... but even a simple "screen-capture" would be good (your Linux-Kernel should be able to do that without difficulties...) we have to take photos from the screen or otherwise, write those things down on a paper... this is just "Stone Age"
  19. - it is done : the apps are available !
  20. ...2, Desk speed my personal experience : sometimes the refreshing speed is okey but mostly it is just a disaster and after lots of testing I think that I found the main reason: which must be the FX engine (and probably DSP charging for that) I had shows with normal behaviour (concerning LCD refreshing) but my last show just rendered impossible to work in live with the LCDs and their buttons when I program my chases in a traditional way (step by step -> most of my shows, last year) all seems to be fine but : in this case (preparing my season 2016), I used the FX engine to get various chases on the Sunstrips; plus some chases on the Led-Pars; plus chases on my RGB COB-Bars (*->*); plus moving and color effects on the wash-Led M-Hs plus moving-effects on the beam M-Hs all this things are recorded separately (in Subs and/or memories - and no problem when trying them one by one !) but when I try to let them play all (or some of them) together the LCDs just "strike"... takes 3 ,4, 6 seconds to change from one state to another... when working with an external Touchscreen plus an I-Pad, we don't really need these LCDs and buttons (at least don't need instant reactivity in changing) - but what about the console in Stand-Alone-Mode ?? => its just impossible to work correctly with it in a normal live work-flow... (and when using the FX engine...) I personnaly never had problems with shows with "traditional step chases" (->without FX-chases) and also : the "slowin effetct" seems to be a cumulating one : you start a show and all seems fine but just a few minutes later "when doing thing in live-mode" (editing a.s.o.) the LCDs just get stuck..... a friend of mine (Solution Desk) told me about 5 to 6 seconds waiting for refresh on his show ! I tried his show on my desk and had nearly no worries; but we did a show together and I really saw the issue, not present in the beginning but getting worse and worse and worse when editing and/or cumulating Subs in live and using FXs (*) each Led is seen and programmed separately; so 6 bars with 8x Leds each, makes for me 48 fixtures... and applying then the FX on various groups ==> just to give a try : running ZerOS 7 and there is NO slowing-issue... since ZerOS 8 first version, things are really better now, but the issue is always present ! (especially when using FX-engines)
  21. Hello this is very good news and I hope the Pixel-mapping feature will arrive very quickly (even a very basic-one would be nice) note : I am working also with Congo/Cobalt desks and pixel mapping is easy to handle on there note also : even a freeware like Freestyler-DMX offers already pixel-mapping -> based on personal or fixed designs or even gif files (animated or static)
  22. Hello Last week, I did lots of tests with two Solution desks and three touchscreens. The latest iiyama tsr models definitely don't work with the latest Firmwares ZerOS. Thats a fact ! My two years old model works fine but another same reference but 6 months old model won't work ( but works fine again under ZerOS 7.7) Its very very strange ! Another funny behaviour : Try the screen under ZerOS 7.8.2 and it does not work and there is no way to calibrate ( the thing rests stuck on the first sign...) Now go back toOS 7.8.1 or 7.7....you will be able to calibrate the screen ( the calibration signs move on) but touch fonction still won't work !! You have to shut down the touchscreen electrically and only after restart of the sreen it will work Very strange..... And with my own two years old iiyama screen I never had such problems, with newer screen some more people seems to have lots of strange issues with the latest zero firmwares....
  23. Axente a fait quelque-chose ! Ils ont augmenté les tarifs de tous les pupitres Zero88 !! (il y a peu de temps) je suis bien d'accord de dire que c'est regrettable qu'ils n'ont toujours pas sorti un manuel en français... (malgré l'obligation par la législation française de fournir des documentation en langue française !!)
