Bonjour, Actuellement, la fonction de verrouillage sur les consoles FLX empêchera simplement la programmation et les paramètres d'être altérés, permettant ainsi d'accéder aux faders et aux cues. Si vous avez des questions, laissez-nous savoir. Edward Hello, Currently the lock function on FLX consoles will simply prevent programming and settings from being tampered with, allowing faders and cues to still be accessed. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, All very valid comments, and thank you for your explanation. We have various thoughts on improving all parameter controls on the console, however I have logged improvements specifically for the handling of Framing Shutters. This is logged as reference number ZOS-10734 on our system. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. That is correct, by default when you record a single cue onto a playback, the button under that playback will become a flash. If you are not finding this is working correctly, please press and hold SETUP, and tap the playback's button. This will open the Playback Settings. Please ensure the button function at the bottom is set to Flash. For more information see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playback-settings/general If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi @JWylie91 Hope you're well. The "Use with limited programming time" session is available here... A playlist of our 2021 training is available here... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXZ_FRh4YdsW8J1hqDJGl-aTE1GnHQYJq If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hallo, Willkommen im Zero 88 Forum. Wenn ZerOS Wing mechanisch an FLX-Konsolen angebracht ist, sollte es gemäß den folgenden Informationen ordentlich angebracht werden... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/zeros-wing Wenn Sie Probleme beim Anschließen des Wing an FLX haben, senden Sie uns bitte ein Bild per E-Mail an support@zero88.com. Da der ZerOS Wing kein externes Netzteil besitzt und über USB mit Strom versorgt wird, ist kein USB-Hub eingebaut. Auf das Cue-Listenfenster kann nur über den externen Monitor zugegriffen werden, wenn Sie den externen Monitor in den Konsoleneinstellungen aktiviert haben, oder Sie können sowohl über den internen Touchscreen als auch über den externen Monitor zugreifen, wenn der externe Monitor in der Konsole deaktiviert ist Die Einstellungen. Derzeit zeigt Ihnen das Fader-Fenster, was die Fader der Konsole gerade tun, und gibt keine Informationen für Wings an. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, lassen Sie es mich wissen. Edward Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. When ZerOS Wing is mechanically attached to FLX consoles, it should attach neatly as per the information below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/zeros-wing If you are having issues with connecting the Wing to FLX, please could you email us a picture to support@zero88.com? As the ZerOS Wing does not feature an external power supply, and is powered via USB, there is not a USB hub built in. The Cue list window can be accessed via just the external monitor if you have the external monitor set to enabled in the console Settings, or can be accessed via both the internal touchscreen and the external monitor if the external monitor is set to disabled in the console Settings. Currently, the faders window will show you what the console's faders are currently doing, and will not give information for Wings. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Elliot, What mode are you using the fixture in? Does the mode and address set on the fixture match the mode and address in the patch on the FLX S24? Can you confirm the fixture is receiving DMX from the FLX S24? In what way does it not do anything - does the Tilt parameter under position move the fixture? If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Elliot, For information on connecting the ZerOS Remote apps on iOS to your console, please see the information below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/networking/using-the-remote-apps I hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Elliot, I have seen your email to fixturesupport@zero88.com, so will reply to this. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Framing shutter parameter labels will be displayed as per the information in the fixture library, which will come from the fixture's manual. Therefore the standard naming is "Frame a#x", and "Frame b#x", as defined in the fixture's manual... https://www.jb-lighting.de/download/DMX-Protokolle/P18_MK2_DMX_Protocol.pdf For fixtures which specifically state which of these parameters in the Movement, and which is the Swivel, these will be labelled "Frame In#x" and "Frame Angle#x". Frames will be displayed from "Frame a#1" through to "Frame b#4" on the encoders, following on from the previous Shape parameters, with no empty encoders separating them. Therefore depending on the selected fixture, there is currently no guarantee of accessing the movement and swivel for a particular frame on the same encoder page. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the feedback. As far as I am aware, most people who use colour mixing on ZerOS find this far more intuitive, as it means you don't really need to care how your particular fixture mixes its colour - you can instead simply dial "Red", and no matter the fixture you're controlling, you'll get red on stage. I have logged this suggestion, to add a third "Native" Colour Edit option to the Colour Attribute Settings. This is logged as reference number ZOS-10731. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Please see the link below, which I have updated to now include separate keyboard layouts for FLX and FLX S consoles... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts You will now be able to use the variant filter top right of the manual to see the relevant content. Thanks for the feedback. On some other consoles running ZerOS, there is a "Time" key. Therefore we can't use T for Thru, as this is reserved. As on most standard keyboards there is a shift key next to the full stop, typing > is easy enough to do with one hand. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, as a symbol, it makes logical sense for Thru, and has been used in ZerOS for many many years. This is still the case, logged on our software tracking system as reference number ZOS-10537. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Elliot, Could you explain in what way it didn’t work? Upon choosing the file and clicking Load, what happens? Edward

As a very late reply to this, for anyone needing this information it is on the Zero Wire DMX product page... https://zero88.com/data/zerowiredmx Edward

Hi Elliot, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. I have just taken a look at the manual for this fixture, and there appears to be an error. See page 23 of the manual... https://www.dv247.com/INTERSHOP/web/WFS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/en_US/ms-gb/GBP/ViewProductAttachment-ResolveManualURL?File=EN_LIG0013616-000.pdf This is stating that when the "Strobe" parameter is at 0, and also at full, the shutter is closed. I am guessing, that actually this parameter needs to be at full to give an open Shutter. To confirm, please raise the fixture's fader, and then tap the "Beam" tab from the top of the touchscreen until you see "Strobe" on the encoder wheels. Then dial the Strobe encoder wheel to full (255). Does the fixture illuminate? If so, you can edit this parameter, so that the Strobe parameter is set to full by default, meaning you can simply raise the fixture's intensity. To do this, double tap CLEAR. Then press and hold RECORD, to open the Record Options on the internal touchscreen. There should be a SmartTag button displayed, which by default will have a red stripe on the button. Press this to make it blue, meaning disabled. You can then tap RECORD to save and close. You can then select the fixture by pressing the button under the fixture's fader, and then dial the Strobe parameter to full. The fixture shouldn't come on, as the intensity is down. Ensuring that the "Strobe" parameter is the only parameter you have adjusted, you can then tap RECORD, and then press the Home icon top left of the internal touchscreen. From the options you can then choose to store this as the fixture's defaults. Now, the fixture will have the Strobe parameter at full by default. You can then press and hold RECORD to open the Record Options, tap SmartTag to enable it again, and then press RECORD to save and close. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Antti, I assume this is regarding changing a fixture's defaults or home values, which used to be done inside Setup? The ability to record a fixtures defaults and home values just like another lighting state, allows you to use the standard Record, Update or Delete commands. Worth mentioning you don't need to edit a fixture's defaults to use the RGB colour mixing method in my previous post. For more information on fixture defaults, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/controlling-fixtures/defaults Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Antti, If you move your fixtures away from their defaults to a location on stage, and then apply the circle effect, try dialing the effect Size encoder down to 0. Then slowly increase the Size encoder wheel. You should find the fixtures perform a circular motion around their current location. In case you weren't aware, the latest software for OrbXF consoles is ZerOS 7.9.9. If you wish to update your console's software, ZerOS 7.9.9 can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/zeros#download Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Antti, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. For information on how to do this, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playing-back-cues/rgb-colour-mixing-on-playbacks Those old links pointed to our support.zero88.com site, which has now been retired. All information for ZerOS consoles now lives in the relevant sections of the online manual... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Kevin, I'll be honest, I thought these comments were already logged on the system, so was just going to bump up the priority of the existing issue. However, couldn't find the item so had to add new! Edward

Hi Paul, Thanks for your explanation. I have logged this suggestion on our software tracking system, as reference number ZOS-10729. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Simon, No problem, I've dropped you an email. Cheers, Edward

Hi Simon, Thanks very much for the information and images. From the description, I think you may have come across an issue we are aware of in ZerOS 7.9.9. I’m not in front of my laptop today, however I will drop you an email on Monday. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Simon, Please could you elaborate a little on what fixture info you mean? Do you mean you are finding parameters are not matching in Capture and ZerOS? With the fixture controls open in Capture (pressing the power icon for the selected fixtures), view the Zoom control on Capture, and dial the Zoom encoder on the console. Does it adjust correctly? Please could you confirm the version of ZerOS you are running on your console? Edward

Hi Joel, On FLX S consoles, you are limited to using and modifying the existing Colour Effects, and cannot create your own. You could however use the Red Fade effect, and then reduce the levels of blue and green accordingly. This could get you near the colours you’re after. Alternatively if you want to use existing colour palettes for the effect, as Kevin suggests you could go down the route of programming a chase onto a playback which changes the colours of your fixtures. Exactly right, however as you won’t have any physical fixtures connected whilst programming the effect, it could be difficult to get the colours right. Edward

Hi Simon, Please can you confirm you have followed this guide... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/networking/connecting-to-capture This is using exactly the same show file and Dockhouse project that I used for the training. You should find selecting fixture 49 and tapping HOME for example, illuminates and selects the first Clay Paky Aleda Wash K20. Edward
