Hi Jon,
Tried ZerOS 7.12 on an event this weekend (full size FLX), had the most peculiar issue where I had a 'dead' touchscreen zone on my external montior. I tried recalibrating several times to no joy. I ended up downgrading to ZOS 7.11 which then worked OK. Dead zone confirmed by using the 'draw' function after calibrating the screen; it was a diagonal zone extending from the bottom right corner.
Touch screen is an Iiyama T2252MTS-3.
Desk is out on another job this week, but will try some more testing when it is back on ZOS 7.12 again.
I also thought the desk was maybe a bit more 'hang-y' when changing between setup and attribute pages than previously.
Cheers,
Alex
Hi Alex, Jon & Edward,
Prompted by this thread, I tried 7.12 on FLX with my T2252MTS. I too am getting the same 'Dead Zone'. However, it's also doing the same on 7.11. Never noticed this before as I've never drawn over the screen that extensively when calibrating!
Also, prompted by the 'hang-y' comment, I have noticed that when scrolling through show files in the Load screen 7.12 is more 'jerky' than 7.11. I'll send a couple of videos to you via email that show this.
Cheers,
John
First pic is 7.12, second is 7.11

As I mentioned earlier, I have also experienced this a couple of times with 7.9.5 but forgot to mention that it also happened on 7.9.4, on the odd occasion.
Cheers,

I've experienced this issue too on my first show with 7.9.5.

Yes, this happened to me on an ML48 at a venue I was working at a few years ago. The whole display PCB was replaced by a Zero88 field rep.
I would contact the Support boys for advice.

Just wanted to send my condolences to the family, friends and Zero88 colleagues of Paul McEwan, who died this past weekend. Despite only meeting Paul for the first time exactly one year ago, he made a lasting impression, with his enthusiasm for the products he demonstrated, his technical support and his smile. I suddenly found a kindred spirit when I spoke to him of my obsession with Vari-Lite. When personally delivering my repaired FLX to my house, he viewed my Vari-Lite museum pieces with excitement and shared his stories of the time he worked on them in the 1980's. I am truly devastated at the loss of such a genuinely nice guy so soon.

My wife bought an apple watch last week, unrelated to my needs obviously, but you didn't hear me saying "Do you really need this?"!!
All ideas above developing nicely! I am agreeing totally with Jon's & Edwards's line of thought above to achieve a really powerful focus tool.
Swipe selection and Focus Groups options, yes. Also agree with Edward's suggestion for a simplified keyboard as well, for those missed channels!
Wow this is exciting! Looking forward to the Beta!
Cheers,

Also, in the meantime, could Z Remote get a single 'Focus' screen with a quick channel(s) select/deselect option and an intensity encoder wheel? This would eliminate having to swap screens using the menu, when up a ladder!
Cheers,
John

I don't have an Apple Watch yet but I would buy one for this. Anything that would eliminate having to juggle my iPhone up a truss would be great!
Crucial for me when focusing is being able to select any fixture, not necessarily sequentially, and wind up intensity so I don't blow a lamp.
Some way to scroll quickly to the channel you want, as mentioned by Edward above, would be ideal.
Cheers,
John

Perfect, thanks for clarifying!

Thanks Kevin,
Sounds like he is jumping to cues at the end of his stack and then jumping back. I am in effect leaving gaps in my stack which I fill as each dance comes up in rehearsal, so was hoping that the move-on-dark process would just see the inserted block of cues and act on them?

Hi,
Just looking at the FLX as a possible upgrade to my Jester ML48 for my dance shows and so am in the process of looking at all the functions.
I would enjoy not having to program black out cues to reset my movers before each piece, so 'Move on Dark' would be great. I, however, have to program most of my dance shows out of sequence. I number each dance 10, 20, 30 etc. then program the relevant blocks of cues in the rehearsal order. It then obviously all runs in sequence with the running order of the show.
If I do this will the tracking, 'move on darks', work correctly?
Cheers,
John

Can you confirm if there has been an update to the operating software since December 2009? I loaded Version 3.0 at that time. Current version is 3.3. Can you tell me if it is worth my while updating my operating software to 3.3?
Cheers,
John

Just wondering if there is going to be another update to the Jester ML Operating software and if so, when is it likely to happen?
-
On several occasions I have wanted to delete the memory stack but keep the programmed submasters. In Set up mode you do not get the option to delete one or the other, only both. Only way is to delete each memory one by one. Could this option be made available in the next software update? It's not a big issue but would be a 'nice to have' if it was easy to add!
Cheers,
John

Thanks again Peter for letting me know that I needed to create a New file and then Import the old library, selecting the files I required.
I now have a MiniMAC fixture profile with a dimmer channel.
Cheers,
John

Afraid I didn’t get very far…! Could you clarify the process of finding the existing Fixture profile and importing it into the editor. Can’t find the File, Import Fixture Type option. Do I use the Fixture Library Release 21 file from the website? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree!
-
Thanks for that Peter! Will give it a go.
Cheers,
John

Just purchased a Jester ML48. Have tried it out with my miniMac Profile. As the dimmer function is controlled with the shutter, i.e under the Beamshape menu, is there a way to control the dimmer function manually on a submaster fader, other than programming a timed fade up submaster and a timed fade down submaster or by using the wheel. The wheel isn’t that practical live as the strobe kicks in at 50%.
Cheers,
John

Correct, no unresponsive finger taps noted as yet.
I’ll give this a go and get back to you.
