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

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.

Thanks. The PSU is the original one. The desk never leave the control room, it has never fall or something. It has been returned to the dealer of course, we are on good terms. But has a said, the brand has disappeared from Axente's, which was the main distributor in France... that’s what I’m worried about. Normally they are the ones who take care of the repairs.

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!).

Dear Forum Members, Some of you may have heard already, but to make it official, after 29 years I am leaving Zero 88 or Vari-Lite as we are now. My last day is Thursday 28th March. Since I started with Zero 88 way back in August 1995, as production test technician, testing both the PCB and complete units for the classics like the Sirius 24/48, Betapack Mk1, Rackmasters to name few, have seen many changes through mergers and acquisitions. I am proud to have been part of them and am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the company. To those of you i have met personally, sorry about that …..not 😉 Those i have spoken or exchanged post/mail with, lucky you, got away lightly then 😉 In all seriousness, thanks to you all for the support and kind words over the years. I wish you all the best for the future, and will leave you in In Edward and Jon’s capable care.
