  1. Bonjour, Les notes de version pour chaque version du logiciel ZerOS sont disponibles sur la page Web de ZerOS... https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/zeros-software Ceux-ci couvrent les fonctionnalités et les modifications introduites par chaque version. J'espère que cela t'aides. Hello, Release notes for each ZerOS software release are available on the ZerOS webpage... https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/zeros-software These cover the features and changes introduced by each version. Hope this helps.
  2. When creating a fixture in the ZerOS Fixture Editor, if a Virtual Intensity parameter is required, ZerOS will automatically create one to scale LED emitters.
  3. If you clicked "Source" in the Output window, and the fixture's source showed as "PRESET" in yellow text, this confirms that the channel faders are in HTP mode, and the respective channel fader is at a higher intensity percentage than any cues that are controlling that fixture. If the channel fader wasn't actually raised, this could indicate you've got some temperamental faders on the console. If this is the case, please let me know, and I can share information on how to clean the faders. When in HTP mode, the channel faders will only take affect if they are raised higher than the fixture's current intensity value. If any intensity percentages are shown in red in the Output window, these have the highest priority on the console, and will override any HTP channel fader values. This is not correct. The Preset Control button is used when the console is in "Wide" mode, to temporarily "freeze" output, to allow you to then use the preset faders to set up the next scene. You can then crossfade from the active "frozen" scene, to the scene you've just created on the preset faders, using the A/B masters. Once you've crossfaded, you can then use the Preset Control button to "freeze" the state again, allowing you to then set up the next scene, and so on. The A Master and B Master have no bearing on the levels of playbacks. If the POSITION key in flashing, this indicates that the encoders are still controlling Position parameters, whilst the MFKs are providing other options. Yes - if you press the RECORD key, you should see the Record Options open on the external monitor. In here, you should see a "SmartTag" button. By default, SmartTag is enabled, indicated with a red stripe. This means the console will store all the required values, to achieve the active lighting state on stage. This means the console will store a mix of channel faders and playbacks in cues. If you tap the SmartTag button in the Record Options, it will go blue, meaning disabled. Now, only manually adjusted fixtures will get recorded into cues, and active playbacks will not be included. If you cannot see a SmartTag button in the Record Options, this essentially means the console is in "basic" mode, and so this functionality is unavailable. Please click the link below for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options When the Output window is in "Source" mode, it will provide a code, for example 1/2. This tells you that the light is being controlled by playback 1, cue number 2. Please see the link below for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/desktops-windows/output-window
  4. ZerOS (and therefore Phantom ZerOS on PC) has the ability to search for fixtures that feature the same DMX map as the light you are trying to control. This then tells you the alternative fixtures you could patch to control the fixture, one of which may already be in the Jester's library. Please see the links below for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/phantom-zeros https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/add-fixtures/searching-filtering
  5. Bonjour, Veuillez nous envoyer une copie de votre fichier d'émission à support@zero88.com. Veuillez confirmer les lectures que vous souhaitez et les appareils que vous souhaitez qu'ils contrôlent. Nous pourrons alors y jeter un oeil, et si besoin créer des playbacks pour vous. Hello, Please email us a copy of your show file to support@zero88.com. Please confirm what playbacks you would like, and confirm the fixtures you would like them to control. We can then take a look, and if necessary create some playbacks for you.
  6. Glad to hear the Jester is up to date with JesterOS 4.1 software. This setting lives in Setup > DMX Input Setup. You will not need to configure the DMX Input in order to simply output DMX.
  7. D'après votre description, je pense que vous aimeriez que les couleurs se mélangent toujours de manière additive. Si vous souhaitez contrôler les couleurs de manière additive, au lieu d'utiliser les outils de mélange de couleurs tels que les palettes, le sélecteur de couleurs et les Mood Boards, il serait probablement préférable de faire fonctionner vos appareils dans leur mode le plus simple, puis de patcher des gradateurs individuels pour contrôler les LED individuelles. des luminaires. Cela signifie que la console mélangera nativement les émetteurs en utilisant « la priorité la plus élevée », car elle traitera chaque canal de couleur comme une intensité pour cette couleur particulière. Based on your description, I believe you would like colour to always mix additively. If you wish to control colour additively, instead of using the colour mixing tools such as palettes, colour picker, and Mood Boards, you would probably be best to operate your fixtures in their simplest mode, and then patch individual dimmers to control the individual LEDs of the fixtures. This means the console will natively mix the emitters using "Highest Takes Precedence", as it will treat each colour channel as an intensity for that particular colour.
  8. Veuillez nous envoyer une copie de votre fichier d'émission à support@zero88.com et fournir des instructions étape par étape sur les lectures que vous essayez d'enregistrer. Nous pourrons alors y jeter un œil. Please email us a copy of your show file to support@zero88.com, and provide step-by-step instructions on the playbacks you are trying to record. We can then take a look.
  9. Hi @jmd I would recommend watching the tutorial below if you haven't already... This is available here... https://www.zero88.com/storage/downloads/2f885eff-adc0-4525-8859-1803970c6fb5/ZerOS-Français-7.9.9-V-3.51a.pdf
  10. Gateway 4 will only consume 2W. So roughly 222mA @ 9v, 42mA @ 48v.
  11. Hi @showguy To control the intensities of individual fixtures with the ZerOS Remote app, you can use syntax commands. The default screen of the app is a number-pad where you can type these commands. Please see the link below for information on syntax commands… https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/selection-and-intensity/commands Alternatively, if you wanted to use onscreen faders to control intensities, you could use the ZerOS Monitor app instead, and view the Faders desktop. The Faders window can then be put into Fader Level mode. See the link below for more information… https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings/operational#mff I hope this helps.
  12. That is correct. You would need to source a suitable PSU from a third party should you wish to troubleshoot this. Although a Solution PSU also uses a 4-pin XLR, it is NOT compatible with Gateway 4. More information here… https://www.zero88.com/manuals/gateway4/power-3
  13. Hi Des, Hope you’re well. I’ll take a proper look at this when I’m back in the New Year. As mentioned, this is not something we have seen before. I can’t remember what he had previously discussed regarding powering the unit - it might be worth attempting to use an external PSU rather than PoE, to see if you achieve better results. Edward
  14. Hi @simzee47 This functionality was removed several versions ago. Chases will ignore all cue fade, delay, and auto timings set in a playback. To use the cue timings rather than BPM, you will need to revert the playback from a chase, and then add "Auto After" triggers to each cue in the playback. Please see the link below for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/cue-settings/cue-triggers The playback will then run through the cue timings and loop automatically. Please let me know if you have any questions.
  15. Ah yep, a dedicated Inhibit is the way to go then 👍🏼
  16. There have been occasions where I've needed to do this. In these situations, I raise my special playback, and simultaneously lower my Master Playback's fader, until I've got the balance how I want it. Is there a particular reason you don't want to touch the Master Playback in this situation? As @Davidmk mentions, Inhibit is essentially a Grand Master for certain fixtures. You cannot "release" the Grand Master - it always governs the overall intensity output from the console. This is therefore the same behaviour of an inhibit playback - the Trigger On Raise & Release On Lower options are irrelevant, so are greyed out.
  17. Really pleased to hear you were able to recover the console using the ZerOS Start-up Tool. Please drop us an email to support@zero88.com if you have any questions. It is extremely unlikely for the OS to have corrupted. My guess is that the show file that was on the console had corrupted. As a side note, FLX S consoles cannot be recovered using a bootable USB drive. FLX S consoles must use the start-up tool for recovery.
  18. The ZerOS Online Manual has been updated to reflect the changes and new features introduced in ZerOS 7.14.1... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros A full list of revisions is available here... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/introduction-58/revisions-50 Let us know if you have any questions.
  19. I definitely understand this request. On the other hand, personally I would not want SmartTag to turn back on if I'd turned it off. More thought required...
  20. If you have SmartTag disabled, and you record a cue, you will immediately snap into the cue you just recorded, and the manually adjusted programmer values will be cleared automatically. As you have essentially done a GO Snap without running the cue's fade times, the Pause button will flash. Hope this helps.
  21. Hi @SanCarlino Welcome to the forum. Jester consoles were discontinued back in 2017, and stocks of spare PCBs have now run out. So we can support from the user/software side, but cannot guarantee that the console can be repaired if something goes wrong. I would recommend working through the Jester ML Training Playlist here... Yes - the latest fixture library for Jester ML consoles is v41, and is available to download from the Jester webpage... https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/jester-series If you need to control a fixture that is missing from the library, you can create a fixture file to load into the console using "Zero 88 Fixture Tools". This application can be downloaded here... https://vari-lite.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/software-firmware/Zero-88-Fixture-Tools-2.6.zip JesterOS 4.1 is the final version for Jester ML consoles, and is very stable. "Phantom Jester" is a Windows software package, that allows you to program and edit Jester show files on your PC. These show files can then be transferred to the console via USB. This can be downloaded from the link below... https://www.vari-lite.com/b-dam/vari-lite/discontinued-products/jester/english/phantom-jester-4-1.zip Hope this helps.
  22. Intensity transitions between the steps of a chase can also be configured in ZerOS. See here for more information… https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases/chase-settings#intensity
  23. Try using the kaleidoscope colour effect, but reduce the size to reduce the saturation. If that’s too subtle try adding the candle effect too.
  24. If you have made edits to intensities manually, they will be displayed in red in the Output window. These values will need to be cleared to allow your cues to output as recorded. You could enable "Programmer Time", so that double tapping CLEAR fades the fixtures to their cue values, instead of snapping them. See here for more information... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/z-key/z-encoders Hope this helps.
