Bonjour, Le nombre maximum d'univers qu'un FLX peut contrôler est de 16 univers (8192 canaux). Ces univers peuvent être patchés sur 64 univers. Pour débloquer des univers supplémentaires, voir ci-dessous ... https://zero88.com/upgrade/ Hello, The maximum number of universes a FLX can control is 16 universes (8192 channels). These universes can be patched across 64 universes. To unlock additional universes, see below... https://zero88.com/upgrade/ Edward

Bonjour, Si vous disposez d'un FLX à 4 univers (2048 canaux), vous pouvez ajouter des univers DMX supplémentaires, jusqu'à un maximum de 16 univers (8192 canaux). Ces univers peuvent être patchés sur 64 univers. https://zero88.com/upgrade/ J'espère que cela t'aides, Hello, If you have a 4 universe (2048 channels) FLX, you can add additional DMX universes, up to a maximum of 16 universes (8192 channels).

Bonjour, Sur FLX, il n'existe actuellement aucun moyen de copier les informations de paramètres d'un appareil à un autre. Si vous utilisez des appareils du même type, vous pouvez cependant régler l'un des appareils sur la position, les couleurs et les gobos dont vous avez besoin, maintenez SHIFT et appuyez sur RECORD, puis appuyez sur une palette vide. Vous pouvez ensuite sélectionner un autre appareil du même type, appliquer la palette, il ira aux mêmes valeurs que l'appareil d'origine. J'espère que cela t'aides, Hello, On FLX there is currently no way of copying parameter information from one fixture to another. If you are using fixtures of the same type, you could however set one of the fixtures to the position, colours and gobos you need, hold SHIFT and tap RECORD, and tap an empty palette. You can then select another fixture of the same type, apply the palette, and it will go to the same values as the original fixture. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Mac, When recording this effect to a playback, make sure the Intensity and Position cue fade times are the same. Otherwise, either the intensity or position element of the effect will take time to start due to the fade, and therefore will not start synchronised with one another. You have probably come across this by recording the effect to the first cue of a playback, because for the first cue the intensity fade time will always be 0, and by default the position time will be 3. The position will therefore lag the intensity. Hope this helps, if you have any questions just let me know. Edward

Hi Mac, Thank you very much for posting the debug file. Do you know the exact steps you did, and the exact point that Phantom ZerOS crashed? For example was it the point of applying the effect, applying an offset? Any extra information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have passed the debug file onto the software team, who will investigate this to see what the cause may have been. This is logged on our system as reference number ZOS-10403. If you have any questions please do let us know. Edward

Hi Norton, On FLX S, the VIEW button will not light up. This is the intended behaviour. On FLX S24, pressing the VIEW button, should toggle the internal touchscreen between the Cues and Faders windows, when you are not in Setup. Holding Z/SHIFT and tapping VIEW will take you to the Output Window. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Norton, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. As Kevin says, hold SETUP and tap an empty playback button, and choose Grand Master. The fader will then act as a Grand Master, and the playback's button will become the Blackout. With a single press of the playback's button, all intensities will go to 0, and a second tap will resume the intensities. If you have any question let us know. Edward

Hi Mac, To use the original palette, just select the original fixtures first, and to use the new palette, just select the new fixtures first. Yes, they will do, because... Hope this makes sense, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Mac, If you have fixtures of the same type and same mode, they will be able to share palettes. Let's say fixture 1 and fixture 2 are both the same type and mode of moving light, and position palette 1 was recorded with fixture 1. Fixture 2 will also be able to use palette 2, and will go to the same values as the first fixture. If fixture 2 had different values to fixture 1 stored in palette 1, then it would obviously go to its defined values, rather than simply matching fixture 1. As your new palettes don't have any information for the original fixtures, the original fixtures are just going to the same values as the first recorded fixture. If you just want the additional fixtures to move, just select these, not the originals, and then apply the new palette. This same behaviour applies to Colour and Beam palettes too, meaning you can record a colour with a single fixture, and any other identical fixtures will also be able to take advantage of that colour. Hope this helps, Edward

Salut Edgar, Bienvenue sur le forum Zero 88. Pouvez-vous confirmer que toutes vos adresses DMX et tous les modes de ces appareils correspondent sur les appareils et dans votre patch sur le FLX S24? Après avoir patché le premier appareil, vous devriez avoir reçu un message vous demandant si vous vouliez laisser "RigSync" activé - l'avez-vous désactivé? Si vous pouvez créer un lien vers les manuels de ces appareils, je vais jeter un coup d'œil et voir s'ils peuvent indiquer une cause. Si vous avez des questions dites le moi. Hi Edgar, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Can you confirm that all your DMX addresses, and modes of these fixtures, match on the fixtures and in your patch on the FLX S24? After patching the first fixture you should have received a message asking whether you wanted to leave "RigSync" enabled - did you disable this? If you can link to the manuals of these fixtures, I will take a look and see if they may indicate a cause. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi David, If you update a group to add in new fixtures, they will be included in the group, but they’re not going to be automatically included into palettes or cues that were recorded using the group. For example it is quite common to grab a group of fixtures, take a couple of them you don’t need out, and then record a cue. You wouldn’t want the couple of unneeded fixtures coming back into your cues even though they are included in the group you used. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Mac, If you would like to add fixtures of the same type, that duplicate exactly what existing fixtures are doing, your easiest method would be to simply add an additional DMX address to the existing fixtures. You therefore wouldn’t be able to control these new fixtures independently, however all existing programming will then be output to the additional DMX addresses too. If you would like independent control, then you’ll need to patch the new additional fixtures, and update your cues to add the new fixtures in. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Mac, Great, thanks for having a play and testing this. There won’t be any drawbacks to sticking with the red “legacy” fixtures. However if you want to change your fixtures in the console to a different fixture type, we advise converting the red fixtures to their equivalent library fixtures first, and then change the fixtures to a different type in the usual way. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, If you have a quick look back through the forum, you’ll see that ZerOS 8 has planned to have features such as pixel mapping included. We’re keen to stick with this, and as a user, other than Beamshape being split into BEAM and SHAPE, there aren’t any brand new features as such, just improved fixture handling and more extensive libraries. In terms of ZerOS, it is however a major update. In terms of the ZerOS roadmap, it would be too much work to make ZerOS 7.9.8 backwards compatible. The new file extension helps identify this, and an attempt to load a .zos file into a version expecting a .isf format will show an error to indicate it is not compatible. Release notes will contain clarity on show file compatibility. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Eric, The new fixture library will be regularly updated. I don’t know the exact number of fixtures off the top of my head contained in the latest beta, but believe it is just under 20,000. Most of the existing fixtures, will be contained in the new library. There will however be some that aren’t in the new library. This isn’t a problem for the user, as they can just load in their missing fixtures from the old Zero 88 library. Or, if they let us know, we will be able to get missing fixtures added to the new library format. If a fixture has parameters named “Red”, “Green”, “Blue” and “White”, they will automatically be applied to colour mixing. When Amber is supported, existing fixtures with Amber should automatically be applied to colour mixing. Really glad to hear you enjoyed the presentation! If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Eric, ZerOS 7.9.8 will bring a completely new fixture library, from a third party company. This includes a far more extensive library of fixtures, and far more information. For example, gone is the seven character limit for parameter names! There will be no original fixtures from the current version of ZerOS in the new library, however, you can load old fixture profiles in if you wish. Currently, the ZerOS colour mixing will be applied to CMY, RGB, or RGBW fixtures. The new fixture library will allow us to include other colours, such as Amber, in a future update. No problem, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Thank you, we have received your show file, so will investigate this and reply to your email. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Martin, Not in ZerOS 7.9.8, but that is one of many areas the new library will enable. Edward

Hi Chris, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Thanks for the question. One of the biggest fundamental benefits of the new library format, is more fixtures, with more detailed information than our existing library. This includes far more extensive parameter details, gobo libraries, and fixture macros. It also sets us up for implementing future features. Another key addition to FLX range consoles, is splitting the Beamshape attribute to Beam and Shape, and therefore allowing new fade times and options that go with it. Legacy fixture files will of course still be compatible, so for now the Fixture Editor software will remain available for you to still create your own fixtures. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, We haven't received an email from you yet, however will look out for it. Edward

Hi Ian, If there are no fixtures patched in, and instead there are just dimmer channels mapped to control RGB of your fixtures, the console will just treat them as HTP dimmer channels, and there will be no LTP mixing by default. I would therefore recommend patching each fixture onto faders, so rather than having several channel faders controlling a single fixture, you have a single channel fader controlling a single fixture. The intensity can then be controlled by the fixture's channel fader, and other parameters such as colour mixing can be controlled by the fixture controls on the right hand side of the console. This can be done by first removing the dimmer channels, and then in SETUP -> Add Fixtures finding the fixture you need, and then patching it onto the fader you'd like it on. If you wish, a fixture on the console can have multiple DMX addresses. To do this tap SETUP, find the fixture you need in the Fixture Schedule, and then tap on its DMX address. Then type the new additional DMX address, and then tap "Add as Additional", instead of pressing OK. Yes you can. To do this, tap SETUP -> Universes, and scroll down to Desk Universe 1. Under Desk Universe 1, click Add under DMX, and type the port number of the extra DMX port you wish this universe to be transmitted from. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Ian, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. First thing I would recommend, is moving as many fixtures onto the channel faders, rather than MFKs on the left hand side of the console. This will gives you a dedicated intensity fader for your fixture, no matter what it is. On Leap Frog, the channel faders can control any of your fixtures, not just dimmers. Do you have a Leap Frog 48 or Leap Frog 96? If you have a Leap Frog 48, you could for example have 24 dimmer channels on the first row of channel faders, and then 24 LED fixtures or movers on the bottom row of channel faders. If you then have more than 48 fixtures in total, you can spill onto the MFKs to give you an additional 200 fixtures. The best function to use for this would be setting Max Levels. To do this, first ensure the programmer is clear by double tapping CLEAR, and then select the fixtures you need to adjust. What you will then need to do is set the levels of parameters that you would like to be inhibited to the maximum levels you would like them to go to. You need to ensure that only the parameters you wish to inhibit are tagged. If a parameter is tagged, this means it will get included when you are programming. By default, if you dial one colour parameter, all colour parameters are tagged, indicated by a white background on the Leap Frog's encoder LCD. To avoid this, before setting the max levels of your colour parameters, you may wish to temporarily separate the parameters. To do this hold SETUP and tap COLOUR, and under Keep Parameters Separate choose Yes. You can then dial the wheels of just the parameters you wish to inhibit, and the others should remain with a blue background to their encoder displays. You can therefore set some parameters to 0, so they cannot be accessed, or set them to 240, so you cannot access between 241-255 of that parameter. Once you have done this, you can then tap RECORD, and in the Record Options window that opens on the external monitor, disable SmartTag, so that it has a blue stripe, rather than red. If you cannot see the SmartTag option, then you are in basic cue only programming mode, and won't be able to complete the command. You will therefore first have to tap SETUP -> Settings -> Record & Update -> Tracking Options -> Enabled. With SmartTag disabled, you can then tap the HOME button, and then choose Max Level. Anything currently tagged, will then be stored as that parameter's maximum level. The encoder's display will still show the full value range, to allow you to still program that parameter. To remove your Max Levels, tap DELETE HOME and choose Max Level. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Thusitha, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Yes, it can. Every protocol on FLX S can have its own unique IP, or they can all share an IP address. As you mention, there cannot be another device on the network sharing one of these IP addresses though. To configure a static IP address for ArtNet, tap SETUP -> Universes -> Art-Net 4 -> Enabled -> Static IP, and then enter your desired IP, subnet, and if required, router IP. As Erics says, one single device can use the same IP for many different procotols, as the protocols will have their own port. Edward
