  1. Hi, Not an adequate answer to your question, I'm sure @KWR88 will have a better answer; but I found this list on the Vari-lite website for what it's worth... https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/solution-series#_spareparts
  2. You will probably find it easier to use and more flexible to just patch as individual dimmers. I’ve built fixture definitions in the past that treat relays as parameters under Beam. But now with a tracking console with move on dark, just patching as dimmer I find is much less hasstle.
  3. I believe ‘UV’ emitters only exist on the encoder wheels and are not used by the colour picker when mixing visible colours.
  4. You can load a user fixture definition into the console using the normal Load function. It will be available for this show and any subsequent show (until you do a Factory Reset, Clear User Files or upgrade ZerOS). When you patch it, it will appear in the fixture list in red, which means it's a non-library fixture. That's just fine (I have lots). When you save your showfile the fixture definition will be saved with it. Go for it.
  5. I will add that if you want your LEDs to automatically do 0% then 100%, then you can set Cue 3 as AUTO (after) with a wait time (maybe 1 second?).
  6. If I understand you correctly, the 0% and 100% need to be two separate cues. Cue 1: Cue 2: Cue 3:
  7. @jmd Can you attach your showfile please, then @Edward Z88 can take a look (save to USB stick then on PC drag and drop into a new comment). Can you explain this again please. Is this one cue that drops intensity to 0% and then a following cue that increases intensity to 100%?
  8. Halogen only has intensity. When you patch a "Dimmer" fixture that gives you an intensity control. If you don't have up/down for your LED then either: (1) Your LED doesn't have an intrinsic dimmer channel, or you patched the wrong definition or (2) The cue you programmed didn't have a change in intensity If you respond to some of the points in my earlier comments, then we can narrow this down more. At the moment you've given me no more information to help you. I'm guessing what the problem is.
  9. If the patched fixture only has R, G, B colour "handles" then that is all you have to work with. If you want an "intensity" channel then the fixture definition loaded for your LED projector has to tell the desk to create a "virtual intensity" and what real fixture channels to scale. If your LED fixture is only R-G-B then the ZerOS library will already include an R-G-B-(VI) fixture definition which you could use. Alternatively, if your fixture has other channels (strobe, program etc) then FLX now has an inbuild fixture definition tool you could use. I've never used it though, sorry. Maybe@Edward Z88 can advise. https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/add-fixtures/fixture-creator Edit: Having quickly watched the video, I'm not sure if virtual intensity channels can be created in the on-console fixture generator.
  10. Désolé, je ne comprends pas.
  11. If your LED fixtures only have RGB DMX channels then you will need to map a different fixture definition that includes "virtual intensity". Virtual Intensity is a feature that allows the console to scale the fixture's RGB channels proportionally to act as an overall intensity. First, check if your fixture has its own in-built intensity or dimmer DMX channel and if so, swap to using a more suitable fixture definition.
  12. Is it a chase? You use Tap Tempo: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases/chase-settings
  13. Bonjour sb! Setup+Playback button, disable Release on Lower https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playback-settings/raise-and-lower
  14. You must use the ML one if you have Jester ML!
  15. You probably need to set the ATTRIBUTE FADE PERCENTAGES as described on this page: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases/chase-settings?filter=1
  16. Thanks @Edward Z88 my bad. Out of interest, does the full FLX have the start-up recovery tool?
  17. Thanks @Davidmk and @Jon Hole I think as you suggest this is the most practical solution. Hi @Edward Z88, thanks! Yea I've done this in the past, but in this instance it will be just part of the lighting state I want to check back, not the whole rig. I've watched the Inhibit video https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playback-settings/general a couple of times to clarify this function. Thanks all for your help! 🙂
  18. Ah here it is: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/zeros-startup-tool (I searched "startup tool" in the online manual. This was the LAST entry returned. Search really is.... &*^%$^£&%)
  19. Oh, well done!!! I ought to have such a thing available as a backup...!
  20. I did this: 1@@, 2 AND 3@50 and had to set PB1 to Intensity Mixing = LTP, and it worked perfectly if ch1,2 are on (and above 50%). If ch1,2 are off then they come on at 50% which is not what I want... Setting to Inhibit didn't work at all as I expected. The PB1 fader was at 0 and the main cue was live (1,2@90). Raising PB1, it took ch1,2 to 45 (expected, this is 50% of the 90) but ch3 didn't come on at all, and when I dropped the fader, ch1,2 went out - did not release to the main playback. In the PB1 Raise and Lower, all of the Raise and Release settings were greyed out, so I couldn't disable Release on Lower. Probably this is all as expected to Edward, but clearly I'm not understanding Inhibit very well!
  21. Not urgent (as in a few days will be fine!). (Simplified scenario to get to the nub of how I program this requirement). Basically I want to be able to highlight some panto business at a stage position with a special (channel 3) but I want to check back the general cover in that area (channels 1 and 2). Let's say channels 1 and 2 (plus others) are part of the general cover and are on stage and bright, say 90%, and they are sourced from a cue stack running on the main playback. I'll be Tracking on. I want to program another manually-applied playback, say PB1, where I want the playback fader to take channel 3 (the special) up to full but also to take channels 1 and 2 down to (say) 50%. All intensities would be proportional to PB1 fader. If the PB1 fader is reduced to zero, I want the controlled channels (1,2,3) to release back to main playback control. If I use this PB1 when channels 1 and 2 are currently at 0%, then I want them to stay at 0%, not come on! How would I program this? Is this a use of Inhibit (for channels 1 and 2). Maybe I program PB1 with 1@@, 2 AND 3@50 and then Setup PB1 as Inhibit with Release on Lower enabled. Do I need to do anything else (like set LTP?). When I run this on PB1 do I need to start pressing PB1 GO button or can I just use the fader (desired). Thanks!
  22. Sounds like the OS is corrupt. There is a way to make a bootable USB stick. Keith @KWR88 can provide instructions.
  23. Does it look like the OS is corrupt? Is it asking for a bootable stick with the OS on it? If you’re at a crunch now: +44 (0)1633 838088
  24. I can't remember if this one is a long standing buggette, or whether it means what's on stage versus in the cue is out of sync and you need to GO to align them! Yea ok, useless answer! I found this in an old Beta comment, if it applies to your scenario: Shift+GO also acts as a pause - stopping chases or Auto cues from triggering (useful when updating cues) and hence the Pause button flashes to let you know.
