This video should help:

I have a feeling locking stops programming changes but allows an operator to run a show. Could be wrong. Yea, looks (locks!) like it: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/z-key/lock-2

Eeeeeek! No pressure! 😆

@Jon Hole what’s the current policy regarding library releases and support for legacy ZerOS and pre-ZerOS consoles? I see on the Vari-lite website that there is no separate library release, the latest is bundled with ZerOS and only compatible with ZerOS 7.14.1 and later. There used to be a separate library release file for each of ZerOS (including pre 7.14.1) and other legacy consoles like Jester (and Frog, but I’m aware of the splitting-for-floppy issue). I realise support resource might be a bit tight at the moment but what is the current Vari-lite policy on this? Maybe you could make a statement on the main forum about this. If we have to ‘DIY’ from now on then at least we’ll know. Thanks, Kevin

@Charlie Newman S24 doesn't have a DVI-D monitor port (only S48 and full FLX). However I agree it's not clear what "right side" is, if the console is still otherwise full operable from the Monitor App. @LIGHTING can you clarify please? Is the console fully working except for the internal touch screen? I understand internal touchscreen failures are uncomfortably common on S24. If yours has failed and it's still in warranty (up to 3 years old), then you need an urgent service request entering with your supplier. If the console is over 3 years old, then Zero88 might still help but I've also heard that the touchscreen is a standard component used with Raspberry Pi boards, but just with some extra mounting parts that could be transferred over. However I have no other knowledge or experience of this.

@Klang Hi Ben. Here we go. Details and colour definitions, the whole shooting match. Phew! Any issues with it, let me know. ERA150Wash.ift

I think you’re right for FLX S (sorry!).

I assume you’ve already tried to reseat any ribbon cables, and extracted and reseated any SD cards. If there is a coin cell battery put in a new one.

Hi Ben, @Klang No problem. It’s quite a big one but I’ll try and get it done tonight and uploaded here. I’ll drop you a PM when it’s done. Cheers, Kevin

Welcome @Klang ! Point me at the manual pdf and which modes are your priority and I’ll have a bash tonight. ETA: assume it’s this one. Looks like there is just an 18 channel mode? Yea… with Edward and Keith leaving and Jon busy with his day job, support isn’t erm… what we’ve been used to… I hope it improves before too much customer damage is done. Kevin

Hi @Harold and welcome! Check if the Page Handover setting (change to Enabled) helps out. https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings/operational#page Regardless it seems like the behaviour you observe is a little unhelpful so hopefully @Jon Hole will take a look at your report and see if there is an issue there.

Just select your 4 spots (order matters) and light them, Effect, pick chase1/4, use encoders to set speed and size to adjust depth of fade. Select Forwards/Backwards as required. I’d record that into a new effect palette so you can grab it quickly. (Won’t store the intensity unless you green stripe that option in the record settings).

This forum is like a train. Nothing for months then everyone is prepping for a Christmas show 🤣. At least Santa is back from his holidays to help us out. 😎

Put the speed parameter onto a playback fader and do it by hand? I think you can do that… or is that Global Tap Tempo… 🤔

First I would check cabling, distribution and DMX termination. If possible try the other DMX output socket on the console (assuming you’re not already using it).
