  1. I would like to add to this, that Ian's industry experience, and incredible depth of knowledge on Zero 88 products, have been such an invaluable help to me. He has been a very active member of this forum, and the Zero 88 Users Group on Facebook, tirelessly supporting customers with their Zero 88 products. As our Service Agent, Ian has always given a faultless, friendly experience to our customers, and he will be greatly missed. Sincere condolences to his family at this time.
  2. Hi Renato, I just Googled the part number you provided, and this came up... https://www.amazon.com/MEMORY-SYNCH-100MHZ-PC100-222-620-MT4LSDT464AG-10EC6/dp/B0130BNY3U?ref_=nav_ya_signin Is this suitable?
  3. Hi @Ian_p This is the correct procedure to update a cue. In the Output window, you will notice that the intensity percentage of the fixture you had adjusted, has changed colour from red to blue, meaning this fixture is now saved in the cue. You will not have seen any changes/flashes to the levels of fixtures upon updating the cue. This is because upon moving the channel fader, you have now regained control of the fixture manually, and it is no longer being controlled by the cue. Therefore a CLEAR CLEAR is required, to clear your manual adjustments to allow the fixture to be controlled by the cue again. In this situation, the simplest option is to just leave the channel fader where it is - it doesn't matter that it is raised at this point, because the fixture is currently being controlled by the cue, not the channel fader. Alternatively, you could change Fader Function, and then lower the fader. You can then toggle back to Channels function. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
  4. The Solution processing power is at capacity, so no new features will be added in ZerOS 7.15. Fixtures can already be patched onto the channel faders, in the same way they can be patched to the MFKs.
  5. Please send us an email to support@zero88.com, with a photo of the console's serial number, and we will be able to help.
  6. To store values for a fixture that is currently @ 0% intensity, you must make sure that the "SmartTag" funciton is off in the Record Options. Therefore: Select your fixtures Adjust the Strobe parameter to the required value, and adjust no other parameters Press and hold Record to open the Record Options Ensure that "SmartTag" is disabled. If the button has a red stripe, tap it so it goes blue Double tap RECORD Tap the Home icon Choose to store as "Default" Hope this helps.
  7. Bonjour, Bienvenue sur le forum. FLX S24 est sortie en 2017 et reste une console très puissante. Trois changements principaux ont été apportés à la console depuis son lancement : 1 - Les consoles FLX S24 sont désormais livrées avec 2 prises XLR 5 broches pour la sortie DMX. 2 - Les consoles FLX S24 sont autorisées en standard pour 1024 canaux de contrôle 3 - il y a eu une poignée de mises à niveau de processeur sur les consoles FLX S24 au fur et à mesure que de nouveaux processeurs sont devenus disponibles. Les consoles FLX S24 continuent de recevoir des mises à jour logicielles régulières, ajoutant de nouvelles fonctionnalités. S'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir si vous avez des questions. Hello, Welcome to the forum. FLX S24 was released in 2017, and is still a very powerful console. There have been three main changes to the console since launch: 1 - FLX S24 consoles now ship with 2 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX output. 2 - FLX S24 consoles are licenced for 1024 control channels as standard 3 - there have been a handful of processor upgrades to FLX S24 consoles as and when new processors have become available. FLX S24 consoles continue to receive regular software updates, adding new features. Please let us know if you have any questions.
  8. All FLX S consoles will be upgraded to 2048 DMX channels through the software update. On page 3, the first page LED will flash. On page 4, the second page LED will flash. There will therefore be no change to how page 1 & 2 are indicated.
  9. That is correct - although this is possible now, even if you have a 1-universe FLX S24. Please see the link below for more information… https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/available-channels You’ll have 4 pages of Channels/Playbacks rather than 2.
  10. Hi @Marco Benatti Welcome to the forum. I believe my colleague Keith has replied to your email to support@zero88.com. Please let us know if you have any questions.
  11. Not as a "Flash" button. One option is you could record your lighting state to a UDK, and configure the UDK's button to be a "Latch". You can then tap the UDK to turn on your lighting state. You could then double tap your UDK to flash it off. As @Davidmk says, your best option might be to record your "flash off" state to a playback. This would involve recording all the necessary fixtures @ 0% to a playback. To do this, you will need to ensure SmartTag is disabled. You could then configure this playback's "Intensity Mixing" option to LTP. Now, flashing this playback will flash the recorded lights to 0%.
  12. When the console is in its normal mode (when Cue Only is NOT selected in Setup > Settings > Record & Update), it means you have control of our Tracking behaviour from the Record Options. The Record Options window should appear on the external monitor upon tapping RECORD. In the Record Options, make sure that "Cue Only" has a red stripe, meaning enabled. With Cue Only enabled, this will mean when you Record/Update cues, subsequent cues will still look exactly how you programmed them. @kgallen shared this video, which explains this in detail... Hope this helps.
  13. My guess is that you are triggering playback 1 when it is already active. In this situation, nothing will happen. To confirm, press and hold CLEAR, and tap playback 1's button. This will manually release the playback. Then try triggering your cue in the Master Playback that triggers playback 1. Playback 1 should then get triggered. Based on your description, it sounds like playback 1 contains multiple auto-follow cues, with the last cue in playback 1 being a blackout. In this situation, to avoid needing to manually release playback 1, you may find it is easiest to configure the last cue in playback 1, to release playback 1. Then, your cue in the Master Playback will trigger playback 1, and the last cue in playback 1 will automatically release itself once complete. This means you can then retrigger your cue in the Master Playback, and Playback 1 will be activated again. As @kgallen mentions, if a cue includes no intensity information, no Up/Down times will be shown. In this situation, you may decide you do actually want to include some "dummy" intensity information. This will then provide Up/Down cue timings. The Up time can then be used to set the fade up time of the playback you are triggering from this cue.
  14. Hi @rickw As others have mentioned, this is how the console will work by default. It therefore sounds like the default behaviour of the console may have been changed. Firstly, please go to Setup > Settings > Record & Update. Make sure that your "Tracking Options" are set to "Enabled". If the console is in "Cue Only" mode, this basically means the console is in beginner mode. This is ideal for simplistic cue stacks, but will cause problems if you want to do more controlled mixing between playbacks or more complex programming. When the console has Tracking Options enabled, exit Setup, and then tap the RECORD key. This will open the Record Options on the external monitor. In here, by default the "SmartTag" and "Cue Only" buttons should have red stripes. If they're currently blue, tap them. You can then tap RECORD again to save and close. You can now record your playbacks onto the submaster faders. The console will then only record the values that are required to achieve the lighting state that is currently outputting. No other information will be included, which should mean the playback on the submaster fader can be mixed with cues on the Master Playback. I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.
  15. The only step you have not mentioned here, is double tapping CLEAR prior to playing back the cues. You must double tap CLEAR, to clear your manual value adjustments, to allow your cues to play back as programmed. If you press and hold VIEW, and tap playback 1's button, this will show you the cues on this playback. Up and Down timings should be displayed for each cue. If Up/Down times are not displayed, this indicates there is no intensity data stored in the cue.
