  1. Ok fair enough, as someone who doesn't use intelligence that often I find I just program anyway
  2. I'll re-phrase my question... What is move on dark? For someone who has never really used intelligent fixtures it seems an odd concept, whenever I have used them I've always put a move/colour wheel change/prism change/gobo change in the stack before I need the light to turn on.. But that could be me making the job hard for myself
  3. What is the issue with Move in dark?
  4. I have asked both Jon in the past, and Keith yesterday about motorised faders, and from seeing the FLX it would be a nice feature, but non-essential. On the desk you can clearly see what channel you have selected, even when using syntax. The response from both Jon and Keith was that it would really raise the price while not massively raising the ease of use. It would be great if the faders were motorised, responding to the page changes and the syntax, but the FLX price would just creep up...

    How?

    Hi all, How would I make a fixture profile for a fixture? It feels like a really dumb question, but there it is... Thanks, James
  6. Could someone make a fixture profile for the Lightmaxx easy wash 5IVE LED? Cheers, James

    Dimmers

    Hi, I've found a few more dimmers that we had in our drama studio, which I might be able to use in our theatre at school. We currently have a chilli dimmer running on a Jester ML 24. My question, isit possible for me to control more then 24 dimmer channels on the desk we have? Even if it is a clunky, cheating way of doing it, any way is better then non. Thanks, James

    Training

    What time is the training Jon? Just to give me a rough estimate for travel etc. Thanks, James
  9. Just to do a little check, it seems from reading the manuals for the desks that these two have similar operating methods to the frog range? Is this correct? Thanks, James

    TL Syntax

    Hey, Can I log a feature request for the jester TL and the matching phantom. To be able to type on a keyboard into the syntax line, it would really speed it up when I work with the desk. (To be completely honest it would be useful to be able to plug a keyboard into all the jester desks and type a syntax line) Thanks, James

    Chases

    Thanks Jon, I'll give it a go

    Chases

    Hello all, I'm needing to program a set of chases into the jester ml desk (ml 12/24) and I wondered if I can set the chases to be run separately. So can I have one running at a set speed, and one running at a speed as set by a sound input? I know this can be done by manually changing the way the chases run but I want to know if I can program the change. Programming a change would make it easier, as I'm aware the show will be stressful to operated technically. Thanks, James
  13. Hi, Does anyone know how long the solution training days are? I'm considering going on one and n ed to get a rough idea before I can make a final decision. Thanks, James

    Sound

    Hi Jon, How does the detector work, is it a threshold or is there a bpm detector in the desk? Thanks, James

    Sound

    Hi, I recently used a fat frog desk and found the sound input very useful when I ran chases, it meant I could sit back and let our sound technician have some fun. I'm just wondering if the jester has a similar thing to be used, as I work frequently with one and don't want to have to run chases manually in time with music. Thanks, James
  16. How would I create an effect of the lights flickering like a candle on the Jester ML 24,using just dimmer channels? We have a set of par cans, and frensel spots. Thanks James

    Training

    I've been looking on the training page for FLX training days, but there seems to be nothing. Are Zero88 planning any training days in the near future? Thanks, James

    Chilli Error

    Yeah, when the lights went out, I went up to the desk, noticed the burning smell in the box at the same time as they noticed the burning smell in the theatre itself and I shut off the mains power to the dimmer I just really want to know the cause

    Chilli Error

    Yeah, I wouldn't try to fix the problem my self, I just wondered what could have caused the issue that's all :-)

    Chilli Error

    Hi, At school today we had lights on and then our whole second bar stopped working. I believe we have a chilli inductive, and we use a Jester ML 24 to operate the lights. We could smell burning both near the lights and in the lighting box. I believe it is an issue with the dimmer but I have no idea. Any thoughts? (Just for record this was reported and a qualified electrician will be coming in to sort out the issue) Thanks, James

    Phantom

    Can I ask, when is FLX going into phantom ZEROs? Thanks, James
  22. I know it's late, but the experience might be helpful. If you know exactly what lighting you wan for an event, use the program mode and make a cue stack. If you need to "busk" (run lights for a performance without knowing exactly what you want) then set a lot of submasters. For the moving light effect, the [insert] button is very useful. If you program a step (x) then click insert, you get x.1-x.9 which is very useful. To do the "run" of lights I'd reccomend setting up a manual cue step, then using the decimal addidtions automatically to make the run. Then have the next cue step manual, so you click a button, it runs through the cues, then holds the final position for the next manual button press. Hope this helps, I don't often use moving lights, but I think thi should work.
  23. Hi, Both a friend and I have been having issues with using phantom ZerOS, we have been having the exact same issues. On my Windows XP machine when I start one of the phantom desks, the on-desk LCD's show up as white (unique to my machine, not my friends) but when we try to close the phantom software, it freezes, closing and opening monitor 2 a few times, freezing, then crashing and genetrating a crash report. I personally have tried re-installing the software (to no avail) My friend has windows 7 and experiences similar issues. Thanks, James.
