  1. That's certainly our plan - we have a lot of plans on the table which we're working through. To be clear, the OS is not "frozen" for FLX... there will continue to be ongoing software updates for FLX & FLX S. After ZerOS 7.15, we are "freezing" the OS for Leap Frog 48 & 96, ORB, ORB XF and Solution. Bingo! Yes, that was when we "relaunched" the Leap Frog 48 & 96 console as Solution. Not as part of ZerOS 7.15, but potentially in the future (after tweaking it!).
  2. Hi all, ZerOS 7.14.3 is now available and includes a couple of bug fixes found solely on the most recently built FLX S consoles. We will soon start Beta Testing ZerOS 7.15. Aligning with this release, there are a few product updates to let you know about. FLX S24 & FLX S48 ZerOS 7.15 will upgrade all FLX S24 & FLX S48 consoles to 2048 channels (four universes) and 96 & 192 fixtures respectively free-of-charge. Available Playbacks, Groups and Palettes will all also be doubled. Full size FLX & ZerOS Server Due to component issues restricting production of the full size FLX & ZerOS Server for the foreseeable future, we are announcing their obsolescence. ZerOS software development will continue to support the full size FLX & ZerOS Server. ZerOS 7.15 will upgrade them to 4096 channels (eight universes) free-of-charge. Later in the year, ZerOS 8 will bring several new features to the full size FLX & ZerOS Server. We’re planning many further releases after that, too. FLX was released 9 years ago at Prolight & Sound in Frankfurt. Leap Frog 48 & 96, ORB, ORB XF, SCD Server & SCD Server Pro, Solution & Solution XL ZerOS 7.15 will be the last ZerOS software update for these consoles, as we are unable to bring the new features planned for ZerOS 8 to this hardware platform. We’ll continue to release ZerOS Library updates for these consoles and support our customers in any other way we can. Leap Frog 48 & 96 was released 17 years ago at Prolight & Sound in Frankfurt ORB was released 15 years ago at Prolight & Sound in Frankfurt ORB XF was released 13 years ago at PLASA in London Solution was released 12 years ago at PLASA in London Jon
  3. Just a quick note to wish you all a very Happy Christmas! Thank you for being part of our little community this year, for helping each other, for helping us find & fix bugs, and generally bringing a smile to our faces - it’s a pleasure to read through the posts here! Look forward to continuing in 2024!
  4. (Updated the original post to embed the "Overview Video" and to state that the ZerOS Online Manual has now been updated to reflect these changes)
  5. We found two bugs that were affecting a small number of consoles and so we've released a ZerOS 7.14.2 to fix this. We recommend everyone updates. There should be no show file compatibility issues (forward or backwards) between 7.14.1 and 7.14.2.

  6. This is exactly right. Your suggestion of two playbacks is the only way I can think of doing this too - because the behaviour needs to change based on the status of Ch 1&2, making LTP not suitable.
  7. I was more "thinking aloud" about a potential new feature (in a future software update) that allows you to customise the functionality of SHIFT+RECORD
  8. SHIFT+RECORD is a one-off SnapShot. I wonder if this functionality could be customised?
  9. We’re excited to announce the availability of Neo 4.1.1, a new software release recommended for all consoles, servers and PCs running Neo software. The update includes over a hundred enhancements to the user experience, including updates to CUE UNDO, improved media playback capabilities in Matrix effects, and more. Please see the Neo 4.1.1 Release Notes for full details. Click here to download Neo 4.1.1. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at entertainment.service@signify.com
  10. Currently, there's no native way to do this via a flash button. It has been requested before and is logged (reference ZOS-3202) - I've added your comment as an additional request. If you only want to flash (not press-and-hold), you could create two cues - first one snaps on, second one fades out, and then set the second cue to Auto follow. Now, pressing the GO button will snap the light on, then fade it back out. You will need the physical fader to be at full to make this work. Yes, our online manual is here: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros?filter=1
  11. You're completely correct, apologies (this is why I should leave support to @Edward Z88!) Delete that Inhibitor Playback, and we'll do it a different way: Take the relevant channels to 0% in the programmer (so they are red "0"s) Press-and-hold RECORD until you see the Record Window appear on the internal screen Turn off "Smart Tag" (so there isn't a red strip on the left hand side of the button) Press the flashing button of the Playback you want to record onto Hold SETUP & Press the GO button of that Playback Change "Intensity Mixing" to "Latest Takes Precedence" and click "OK" Now, the flash button of that Playback should take those channels to 0%.
  12. Yes, it is possible. Record the channels you want to go to 0% onto Playback 2 at full (100%), hold SETUP + GO button of Playback 2 and choose "Inhibit".
  13. We're currently working on a proposal that ties into this conversation - so this feels like a good opportunity to receive your feedback. Currently we have two save methods: SETUP>Save - as discussed above (which allows you to save a new file with a new filename) "Quick Save" - which saves a new file with the current filename and the next incremental numerical suffix (e.g. "showfile2.zos", "showfile3.zos", etc) The proposal is for a show file to include multiple "versions". So "Quick Save" updates the current show file (instead of making a new one), but as a new version. On your USB stick, there would be a single show file. "Loading" the file would automatically load the latest version, making it seamless. However, a new "Versioning" interface would display all past versions (including timestamps if on FLX) so you could "go back in time" to load a previous version if required. (Note: out of scope of this proposal is partial show file loading where, for example, you take a single cue from a show file (or, in this situation, "version") and load it into another show file / version)
  14. Would a higher contrast between the field background colour and the highlight colour be an alternative solution? So it's easier to tell that it's highlighted?
  15. Thanks for the feedback Joe, We've had the request for colour coding Groups before (reference ZOS-5040), so I've added your comment and updated the issue to cover all palettes aswell as groups.
