FLX Software - Open Beta


Jon Hole

Recommended Posts

ZerOS 7.8.4 has been released and so the Public Beta has now closed.

The new software can be download from zero88.com/software/zeros

Hi All,

As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency during FLX software development, we're releasing an Open Beta of the next version of ZerOS.

What is ZerOS?
ZerOS is the software that runs on FLX. A slightly different version of ZerOS also runs on many other Zero 88 consoles, such as the ORB XF and Solution series.

What is an Open Beta?
The Open Beta lets you test-drive new ZerOS software and provide us with feedback before it's officially released to the public.
How do I participate?
Download the file attached below, and follow the instructions carefully. Remember that you run this software at your own risk. Although we always try our best to help in all situations, please be sensible when you install this software.Don't install new software on your console mid-run or when it is critical that your console is fully operational. If you are going to load a showfile onto Beta Software, please keep an original version of the showfile safe, in case the Beta Software saves data that can not be read on a previous Release Version of ZerOS.
How should I report an issue?
All issues should be reported directly to support@zero88.com. When reporting any errors, it's helpful to include as much information as possible, including:
  • A copy of the showfile if available
  • Any debug files the console has offered you
  • Instructions on how to recreate the issue (including cue / channel numbers etc)
  • A list of external devices plugged into the console (remote triggers? audio input? Touch Screen? Mouse? Keyboard? etc etc)

 

How do I install the Open Beta?

To install, download the file attached below, unzip it, and drag the .exe file onto a USB stick (don't put it inside any folders). Plug the USB stick into your console, and go into SETUP. Go to “Load file”, and select the file from the list displayed on screen. Follow the onscreen instructions.

 

 

***PLEASE NOTE: This version of ZerOS and Phantom ZerOS only supports FLX for now***
Thank you for testing ZerOS - if you have any questions or problems, please don't hesitate to contact us:

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.3.



Several new features in this release, even since Wednesday's beta, so have a look at the release notes again.



Thank you to everyone providing feedback to us - we really appreciate it.

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.4.



Scrollbars have now been darkened to make them less prominent, and the arrows at either end have been removed. Pressing “copy” now brings up a dialog box to allow copying cues with the currently viewed stack.


Ongoing thanks to all those providing us with feedback.

Installer and Phantom have been updated to 7.8.3.5.


The Output Window now scrolls with the current channel page, and fixtures with values currently in the programmer are now always shown along the bottom of the Output Window. There's a couple of other bug fixes too.


Updated release notes will be available soon.


Ongoing thanks to all those providing us with feedback.

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.8.



Includes a couple of bug fixes and a new option to trigger cues from the GO of the previous cue rather than just once the previous cue’s fade has completed.



(Previously 7.8.3.7)
