Those don’t look fancy, likely pretty basic fixtures. Your easiest options: - Ensure you have ZerOS 8 on it and check that library. - Use the fixture patch to search for other fixtures with the same or a usable DMX map. - Write your own with the on-console fixture editor.

Hi. Can’t help you with a card but some info on here if it helps you search for one. https://www.vari-lite.com/b-dam/vari-lite/discontinued-products/illusion/english/illusion-500-specification.pdf

I said you'd probably get me here too! 😄 This would probably be a better place to continue the conversation otherwise we'll probably end up cluttering up the Blue Room forum with a level of chatter and detail many others there will get irritated with. Also on here you can post pictures/screenshots etc which you can't do directly on Blue Room. Kevin

For the benefit of others I’ve been ‘helping’ Ben with this on the BlueRoom forum. However as yet we’re not ‘on the same page’. Maybe other users can help us see the light! For those who aren’t familiar with the Zero88 Alcora it’s a basic entry level non-tracking memory console with a single memory stack with a Master Fader and a Grand Master Fader (since you could mix memory levels with other ‘manual’ fader levels). There is nothing ‘quirky’ with the Alcora in this respect. The BR thread is here: https://www.blue-room.org.uk/topic/79592-flx-s24-setting-grand-master-on-master-playback/#comment-616676 Thanks! Mods: @DMH @RJP ideally this post would be moved to the FLX S24 forum.

Interesting. I have an FLX which has hard keys for these functions. However it does put different information on the external screen compared to the internal screen. I'm not familiar enough with the S48 to know if it moves certain functions to the external screen when one is attached (but it would need to know that was a touch screen to move a function such as "play"). Having said all of that, I'm not sure I know what the "play" icon is for on S24/S48, since you still have a "go" button on master and for each other playback! Sorry, I'm not helping much. This sounds like a subtle implementation question that we would need an answer from the folks who have now departed our tiny bit of universe 😞

… we need pictures! 😆

Did you accidentally switch the view to another (unprogrammed) playback? (I'm sure not, but just checking).

Here you go. Lots of controls will be under Beam/Shape. I've added a virtual dimmer for the LEDs plus a few "detail" entries for some channels to make usage easier. Put this on a USB stick and just Load as you would a showfile. When you patch the fixture it will show up in red as a "non-library fixture". It will save in any showfile you save. Let me know any issues with it. Enjoy. QTFX_LBF1.ift

Hi Leigh, Thanks for following my guidance on BlueRoom. If nobody beats me to it, I’ll aim to do this for you tonight. Regards, Kevin

Hi. You have to use the Monitor App on an external device. There is no video output port on the S24.

Wow I’m with you there. Not so young myself! Well that’s some rig you’d put together. Given the ‘full’ FLX is not available new (and for me is spades above the FLX-S), I hope it finds a good home and some kind of return for you. Good luck and hope to still ‘see you around’. (And sorry for polluting your thread with ‘chat’!).

That’s one heck of an investment you’ve made there. Out of interest, why are you ‘getting out’ of this setup? Didn’t meet your expectations? Moving to another brand? Sorry to see you go Mac, regardless

Hi. Can you upload a show file showing this?

I don’t believe that should the case. According to the ‘hype’ you should be able to spread the licensed channels across 64 universes so some piece of external kit should be able to get that data, even if only a couple of channels are patched to a given universe. @1:48 - 2:02 in this video (specifically @1:57):

I’m sure you’re well up on it but I often revisit the training videos as it gives me a new idea or clarifies an approach or my understanding (or lack of!):
