As @Davidmk mentions, please follow this guide if you find that the fixture you are trying to control is missing from your console's library...

Sometime ago our solution rebooted mid show (not during a cue change).
Sorry to hear that. Do you know what software version the Solution console was running at the time?

I installed 7.14.2 this week but when I try to re-patch I can't find a non-dim profile. When I search, I still have a video 1ch profile available. Any suggestions?
If you search "Non Dim" in Add Fixtures, you should see this...
If you are still seeing the "Video" fixture in Add Fixtures, this suggests the fixture is included in the show file that has been loaded, and so has been added to Add Fixtures. As mentioned, the generic "Video" fixture is not included in Add Fixtures in more recent fixture libraries.

i meant it should sync up automatically to the music, otherwise i have to tap nearly the whole time.
If the music is playing at a constant tempo, you would only need to tap a Chase's tap tempo button a few times, to allow the console to learn the tapped BPM. The chase would then run at this BPM until a new tempo is tapped.

I have an Zero 88 FLX S24.
I assume you didnt integrate the osc /beat/tap endpoint?
Is it planned to integrate this endpoint with an future version?
There are currently no plans to implement a dedicated way of triggering the console's Global Tap Tempo remotely via OSC.
26 minutes ago, Lazer1543 said:is it possible to use the playback/next endpoint vor a variable chase, or does this only work with an explizit named chase?
What you could do, is record your different lighting states into a playback. Then, rather than converting the playback into a Chase, leave it as a Cue Stack. Then, you could send the console a Playback x GO message over OSC each time there's a "beat", to advance through the lighting states on the playback in time with a beat.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Glad to hear you have found that to page through the colour controls on the encoder wheels, you tap the "Colour" tab again.

The idea was to check when the solution was last booted up or reloaded.
In ZerOS there is no information that logs the system time of the last boot up. Would you be able to explain why this information might be useful in your situation?

What dmx value does this output?
The "Connected Load" parameter of the "Non Dim" fixtures can be set to any level between 0 and 255. It will default at either 0 or 255, depending on the "Non Dim" variant you patch.
12 hours ago, Simonkbike said:What's the difference between video1ch and non-dim profiles? I recall we used video as it wasn't affected by the Master fader, but can be set in the cue stack when needed.
The "Video" fixture was an old "Generic" fixture from our legacy fixture library. This fixture is no longer included in the latest ZerOS Library. This fixture defaulted at a value of 127. This is problematic for controlling relays, as for some relays this is "on", but for others this value would be "off".
The "Connected Load" parameter of the "Non Dim" fixtures will not be affected by intensity masters such as the Grand Master, but can be recorded into cues.
12 hours ago, Simonkbike said:When I have time I'll label with max load for each socket. We're using it to switch small effects devices & on-stage table lamps so not envisaging overload issues.
Yep - no problem. The main reason I mentioned this, is on occasions I have encountered people making custom dimmers/relays featuring domestic 13A sockets, where the cleaner has then come along and plugged the hoover into what they think is a spare 13A socket. Theoretically if this was to happen with your box, this could damage the relay channel, and in an extreme case, dependent on the failure of the relay, could cause a fire. Of course, the likelihood of this happening depends on how accessible your relay panel is!

Is there a log file in a solution which records time loaded and zeros version?
When you save a show file, this will be saved with a timestamp of the console's date/time, and will also include the console's current software version information. Is this the information you are after?

Hi @Simonkbike
On 1/13/2024 at 11:26 PM, Simonkbike said:What's the best way to patch this on my desk?
I would recommend patching the relay channels as "Non-Dim" fixtures, which can be found under the "Generic" manufacturer in Add Fixtures. The nice thing about this, is there are two variants of this fixture - Default On and Default Off. For example, if you want the relay channel to be powered as soon as the console is active, you could patch a Default On. This would still provide the ability to then switch it off if required.
On 1/13/2024 at 11:26 PM, Simonkbike said:The desk wouldn't let me patch to a fixture channel above 48 so the pack will fill 4 more faders which they don't really need.
On 1/13/2024 at 11:26 PM, Simonkbike said:I'd really like to move all the relays off the faders and patch as fixtures so I can switch with Beam On/Off.
I would recommend patching the Non Dim fixtures to the Solution's MFKs, which are numbered as fixtures 101 thru 300. Once patched, you can then select the Non Dim fixtures on the MFKs, and under BEAM, you'll see the ability to switch the "Connected Load" using an encoder wheel.
On 1/13/2024 at 11:26 PM, Simonkbike said:I've built this 4 channel DMX relay pack to switch on/off ancillary on-stage lights & effects which may be damaged by a dimmer output.
In the picture I can't see any fuses between each relay output and its respective socket. If you are plugging in devices with a 3-amp fuse in the plug this is fine, but it would be best practice to ensure there is protection, in the event of a load with a 13-amp fuse being plugged into a socket.

Par défaut, les émetteurs UV SONT utilisés par les outils de mélange de couleurs ZerOS, ce qui signifie qu'ils seront contrôlés par les palettes automatiques, le sélecteur de couleurs, les tableaux d'ambiance, etc. En effet, dans de nombreux luminaires LED, les émetteurs UV ne sont en réalité que du violet, et donc il est logique de les traiter comme un émetteur visible.
Cependant, dans le "Fixture Schedule", des paramètres seront disponibles pour vous permettre d'empêcher le paramètre UV d'un projecteur d'être contrôlé par le mélange de couleurs ZerOS.
https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/fixture-schedule/fixture-settings#uv
J'espère que cela t'aides.
By default, UV emitters ARE utilised by the ZerOS colour mixing tools, meaning they will be controlled by Automatic Palettes, Colour Picker, Mood Boards, etc. This is because in many LED fixtures, UV emitters are in reality just Violet, and so it makes sense to treat them as a visibile emitter.
However, in the "Fixture Schedule", settings will be available to allow you to prevent a fixture's UV parameter from being controlled by the ZerOS colour mixing.

Hope this helps.

Noticed the Other Test tab, thought I'd take a look and spotted the Do NVR Test. Tried that and got Load Pattern Buffer failed. Restarted the desk normally.
As @iank99 says, this error is nothing to worry about. FLX uses FeRAM technology, as opposed to the more traditional RAM in the x86-based consoles (Solutions & Orbs). You may therefore get different test results depending on the hardware you're using. Ultimately, this test is designed for internal use, and only during very niche troubleshooting.

Using companion, I got 1 button on the streamdeck to start a video playing in Vmix, adjust the fader levels on my Allen & Heath Qu 16 to set the level for the above video through the PA and trigger my flx to go to the next cue in the playback to set the lighting state I wanted.
Using the OSC commands on the zero88 guide its took no time at all to get companion and the streamdeck talking to the flx.
Supper job on implementing this!
Amazing! Thanks very much for the feedback.

it should be possible again, when i desable RigSync or not..??
You would need to re-patch the fixture manually, to be able to access the "Add As Additional" and "Unpatch" buttons.
The "RDM" version of the fixture stays patched so that it can be used again if RigSync is re-enabled.

We wanted to patch some fixtures together (ad as additional adress)
but there was no button for it in the menu where you can change the adress.
also no unpatch-button (usually in the top-right corner of the menu).Setup > Fixture Schedule > tap on a fixture's DMX address to open "Edit DMX Address". If the "DMX Universe", "Unpatch", and "Add As Additional" buttons are hidden, this indicates that the selected fixture is an RDM device that has been discovered by RigSync. It is not possible to unpatch a fixture discovered by RigSync, or give it multiple start addresses.
8 hours ago, LLuk said:After loading and reloading and loading again different Zeros-Versions and Showfiles
we forgot sometimes to disable Rig-Sync(completly our fault..;)
And in the old showfile was a couple of Led-Fixtures with same adresses like the wallmountet
dimmers(RDM) of the venue. So the console automatic "messed-up" the adresses in the dimmers.Sorry to hear that RigSync changed the settings of RDM fixtures when you didn't want it to. If you go to Setup > Universes > Remote Device Management, there is a "Revert Rig Back" button, which will tell the fixtures to go back to the settings they had when the console found them.

This is something we are actively discussing internally. I have made a note of your request for this. This is logged as reference number ZOS-11927 on our system.

Si une mémoire contient uniquement des informations sur la couleur, où seules les valeurs de couleur changent lors de l'entrée dans la mémoire, vous ne verrez qu'un temps de fondu affiché pour la couleur. Vous ne verrez les temps de fondu affichés pour « Up » et « Down » que si le signal inclut des changements dans les valeurs d'intensité.
If a cue just contains colour information, where only colour values change when going into the cue, you will only see a fade time shown for colour. You will only see fade times shown for "Up" and "Down" if the cue includes changes in intensity values.

Edit: Having quickly watched the video, I'm not sure if virtual intensity channels can be created in the on-console fixture generator.
When creating a fixture in the ZerOS Fixture Editor, if a Virtual Intensity parameter is required, ZerOS will automatically create one to scale LED emitters.

Sometimes I was unable to switch off a single channel. (usually after the according preset single fader had been up, but not always; also on different occasions different channels were affected). "Source" said "preset", but the preset faders were all down. Switching from HTP to LTP kind of helped: now the lamp was off again, but the according preset fader couldn't be used at all; the lamp could be accessed via mfk and the scroll wheel.
If you clicked "Source" in the Output window, and the fixture's source showed as "PRESET" in yellow text, this confirms that the channel faders are in HTP mode, and the respective channel fader is at a higher intensity percentage than any cues that are controlling that fixture.
If the channel fader wasn't actually raised, this could indicate you've got some temperamental faders on the console. If this is the case, please let me know, and I can share information on how to clean the faders.
When in HTP mode, the channel faders will only take affect if they are raised higher than the fixture's current intensity value. If any intensity percentages are shown in red in the Output window, these have the highest priority on the console, and will override any HTP channel fader values.
On 1/6/2024 at 11:36 PM, Roodie said:- The preset controll button is supposed to controll which one of Master A/B controls the preset and which one controls the playbacks-formerly-known-as-submasters. But actually only one Master controls the presets, and none of them controls the playbacks. (so depending on the position of the preset control button one of both seems to be without function).
This is not correct. The Preset Control button is used when the console is in "Wide" mode, to temporarily "freeze" output, to allow you to then use the preset faders to set up the next scene. You can then crossfade from the active "frozen" scene, to the scene you've just created on the preset faders, using the A/B masters. Once you've crossfaded, you can then use the Preset Control button to "freeze" the state again, allowing you to then set up the next scene, and so on.
The A Master and B Master have no bearing on the levels of playbacks.
On 1/6/2024 at 11:36 PM, Roodie said:- Every time I press „special“ (or macro or groups or fixtures) in the MFK the „position“ key starts blinking. This doesn't seem to affect anything but makes me a bit nervous... Does anyone know why it blinks? (or how to change that)
If the POSITION key in flashing, this indicates that the encoders are still controlling Position parameters, whilst the MFKs are providing other options.
On 1/6/2024 at 11:36 PM, Roodie said:- Is there a possibility to save in "preset only" mode? For example I have playback 1 live on stage and want to build another cue with the preset faders and save it to (for example) playback 2 but wthout switching off playback 1. Can I save only the preset faders without saving the contents of the cue that is live? (Or can I exclude certain playbacks from being saved?)
Yes - if you press the RECORD key, you should see the Record Options open on the external monitor. In here, you should see a "SmartTag" button. By default, SmartTag is enabled, indicated with a red stripe. This means the console will store all the required values, to achieve the active lighting state on stage. This means the console will store a mix of channel faders and playbacks in cues. If you tap the SmartTag button in the Record Options, it will go blue, meaning disabled. Now, only manually adjusted fixtures will get recorded into cues, and active playbacks will not be included.
If you cannot see a SmartTag button in the Record Options, this essentially means the console is in "basic" mode, and so this functionality is unavailable. Please click the link below for more information...
https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options
On 1/6/2024 at 11:36 PM, Roodie said:- concerning the "source" button: it displays the playback number in absolute numbers; so it's not "page 18/playback 1", but it's like "511", so if I want to know quick what playback is still on, it's not really helpful. Is there a way to change that?
When the Output window is in "Source" mode, it will provide a code, for example 1/2. This tells you that the light is being controlled by playback 1, cue number 2. Please see the link below for more information...

the second fixture might be similar to another fixture in the library
ZerOS (and therefore Phantom ZerOS on PC) has the ability to search for fixtures that feature the same DMX map as the light you are trying to control. This then tells you the alternative fixtures you could patch to control the fixture, one of which may already be in the Jester's library.
Please see the links below for more information...
