    Pretty Please can we have "Previous" and "Next" page buttons on the Online Manual?

    For now, we'll have to say no. The online manuals platform was created by an external web developer, so we would need a business case to reopen this. As mentioned when we initially created the platform, the "Next", "Previous", and "Up" buttons we first implemented were not working how we wanted, so we had to remove them.

    If we receive further requests for this, we will of course investigate.

  6. Cue fader down values

    in General Discussion

    Hi @Jouper

    So for example i want my cue level from 0 to 100 to have the intensity of my fixture be 30 to 90

    If when you lower a playback fader, you want your fixtures to stay on @ 30%, you could program another playback with your fixtures recorded @ 30%. Then, you can raise this playback fader to full, and leave it. With this playback up, the lowest value that these fixtures can then be taken to by your cues is 30%.

    I hope this achieves what you're after.

  7. FLX S48 to Lumenradio CRM

    Hi @emilie

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    Is it possible to support the Lumenradio CRM Nova TX on an FLX S48?

    The LumenRadio CRMX Nova TX is a single universe wireless DMX transmitter, with no Ethernet functionality...

    https://lumenradio.com/products/crmx-nova-tx/

    You can therefore plug the DMX output from the console into the CRMX Nova TX's DMX input, to transmit the universe wirelessly.

    If your device has an Ethernet port, please could you link to the product's webpage, so we know exactly which unit you have?

    What network protocol are you trying to use?

  9. Showfile ZerOS Version Details

    Is it possible to find out what version ZerOS was used when recoding a show file on a FLX S desk please ?

    After loading in a show file, tap Z/Shift -> System Information -> System Text. In here will be a line of text, that states the show file version the loaded show was saved in.

  11. Error notifications

    Hi @alg

    Can you confirm your FLX S48 is running up to date software?

    If there are no address conflicts, RigSync should leave start addresses as they are. 

    As @kgallen mentions, you can remotely readdress your dimmer channels from the console using the Fixture Schedule, in exactly the same way you would readdress a “normal” fixture. Once you have addressed them how you need, the patch information will be stored in the show file on the FLX S, meaning that FLX S will remember “the address of channel 5 of dimmer 2 is x” for example. 

  12. Flickering/twinkling effect

    Hi there! I have 6 Martin Rush 2 RGBW zoom fixtures arranged in a 2x3 grid and assigned to MFKs. What’s the best way to set up a twinkling/flickering effect (kind of like what happens to the Eiffel Tower at midnight I suppose?), Would I use a chase or is there a different better way?

    You could also select the fixtures, and try the Candle effect (Effect 9). If this doesn't give what you're after, try Effect 4 (Chaser 1/8), but reduce the effect "Size" down using the encoders, and increase the "Speed".

    Hope this helps.

    I was wondering if there will be any new update in the future since the last one was in August last Year.

    Just want to make sure, since there were some cool ideas to implement into the ZerOs Software.

    A preview of ZerOS 7.14 software was shown at ProLight + Sound trade show last week, and is currently being tested by our beta testers. Check out the link in @scottydog75's post for more information.

    Hope this helps.

    I tried to figure out making an macro which changes playback views, but didn't succeed. Is there a way of doing this? (it doesn't record the holded "view"key when recording the macro)

    If this would be possible it would be very nice. And easy.

    In ZerOS 7.14 software, Macros will capture "press and hold" messages of keys. This would allow you to record a macro of "press and hold VIEW and tap GO", for example.

    Hope this helps.

  18. OSC

    I'm mildly (but pleasantly) surprised by this - using a fader means sending - and therefore processing - a lot of messages in quick succession and I would not have been surprised if the desk was overwhelmed by it. Good news in deed.

    There are indeed a lot of messages when sending fader movements over OSC. However, this is very similar to how ZerOS processes "real" fader movements - each level change is reported as an individual message. This can be seen in Event Monitor.

    Would you recommend any of them above the others to home in on please.  As a back up and spare I would make do with 2U output....???

    If you are looking for a small "spare" console, with a maximum of 96 fixtures & 1024 DMX channels, I'd suggest looking at FLX S48...

    https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/flx-s48

    You will feel much more at home using this having come from FLX, compared to a legacy ZerOS console.

    Can you help for this bugs. 

    Thank you for attaching the debug files from your console. Sorry to see you encountered this error.

    The debug files are reporting very little information. Unfortunately there is not enough data to understand what may have occurred. Are you able to send us an email, with step-by-step instructions of what you did on the console when these errors occurred? For example, did these occur during patching, or upon pressing a particular button? We will then be able to troubleshoot further. 

  21. Farbwechsel FLX S24

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    Hallo,

    Ich denke, die einfachste Lösung besteht darin, die Farbzeit Ihres Cues zu ändern. Halten Sie dazu VIEW gedrückt und drücken Sie die Taste unter dem Wiedergabe-Fader, den Sie aufgenommen haben. Dies öffnet die Wiedergabe im Cues-Fenster. Tippen Sie auf die Color-Fade-Zeit und stellen Sie diese mit den Encoder-Rädern auf 0 herunter. Wenn Sie nun die Wiedergabe erhöhen, werden die Fixtures sofort in ihrer aufgezeichneten Farbe sein.

    Bitte sehen Sie sich das Tutorial unten an, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten ...

    Hoffe das hilft.

     

    Hello,

    I think the easiest solution will be to change your cue's colour time. To do this, hold VIEW, and press the button below the playback fader you have recorded. This will open the playback in the Cues window. Tap on the colour fade time, and use the encoder wheels to dial this down to 0. Now, when you raise the playback, the fixtures will instantly be in their recorded colour.

    Please watch the tutorial below for more information...

    Hope this helps. 

  22. Clearing a fader

    I've created a small video.

    The issue shown in your video has been fixed internally, and the fix will be included in the next software update: ZerOS 7.14. This issue was logged as reference number ZOS-8363 on our system. 

    On 3/31/2023 at 10:14 AM, showguy said:

    I want them to first move to position B, with 0% intensity, and then fade up with the fader.

    13 hours ago, showguy said:

    As you know, I want the beams to move on dark, and then be able to slowly crank up the intensity. I've created a small video.

    To achieve this, I would recommend configuring the playback's button as a GO button, to prepare the fixtures, as per @Davidmk's suggestion:

    On 3/31/2023 at 2:22 PM, Davidmk said:
    • You could just record position & intensity onto a playback and set the button to Go/snap then press the button before raising the fader

    To do this, I would recommend recording a fresh playback, that contains just a single cue of your lighting state with intensity. Then, hold SETUP and tap the playback's button. From the bottom, change the button function from "Flash" to "Go". There are two Go options, to decide whether the playback's button goes to the cue using or ignoring the cue's fade times. If you also want flash functionality, you could configure "Go" as the button's shifted function. Once configured, leave the remaining settings as they are, and click OK.

    Now, before using the playback, tap its button, the fixtures will "prep", and you can then raise the intensity over the top using the fader. By default, lowering the playback will release its control over the fixtures, meaning there is no need to manually hold CLEAR and tap the playback's button.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

  25. ZerOS 7.13 Released

    Hi @Lex

    On 4/14/2023 at 2:39 PM, Lex said:

    I am working on a FLX S48 and I am trying to record snapshot pallets.

    If you hold SHIFT and tap RECORD, you can then tap an empty palette within any attribute (Colour, Beam, Shape, Position, Effect). This will then store a snapshot of all parameters of all fixtures into the palette. Tapping the palette will then apply the values to the selected fixtures.

    If there are fixtures patched with Intensity, Colour, Beam, Shape, and Position parameters, the palette will be annotated ICBSPE. If you only have fixtures with intensity and colour parameters patched for example, the snapshot palette will be annotated ICE.

    Please feel free to send us your show file if this doesn't seem to be working, and we can take a look.
