    You can find this below by clicking Enter details manually...

    After clicking Enter Details manually, you should see a drop down menu. In the drop down shows the starts of the serial numbers.

  2. What console do I have...?

    Hello,

    Thanks for confirming. I have deleted your images just to keep your serial number hidden.

    I see where the confusion lies:

    we bought a 1 universe FLX S24, model 0020-000022-00, vs the 2 universe -000023-00 version. 

    These numbers are the part codes of FLX S variants, listed below...

    it seems we have a 000018-00

    This is the part of the console's serial number which defines the product, which is different to the part code. You can find this below by clicking Enter details manually...

    Apologies for any confusion, if you have any questions let me know.

    Hello,

    Firstly, Ed and team, thanks for all the video training sessions recently - despite having had the console for over a year now, I've learnt a whole lot of productivity and time saving tips from these...

    Really glad to hear you’ve found the training sessions useful.

    On digging around, I appear to be able to output DMX independently on both XLRs, as 2 discrete universes.

    Yep, that’s correct on both a 1 universe and 2 universe FLX S. The difference between a 1 and 2 universe console is the number of DMX channels you can patch. Therefore a 1 universe console has a maximum of 512 channels, and 2 universe console has a maximum of 1024 channels. These channels however, can be patched across 64 universes - in SETUP -> Universes you’ll see all 64 universes listed, which you can configure to route from the console.

    As an example you could patch half the channels on universe 1, and the other half on universe 2 on a 1 universe FLX S - or indeed fill both universes on a 2 universe FLX S. I hope that clears things up- let me know if you’d like me to elaborate.

    it seems we have a 000018-00??  So, I'm curious - what type of desk do we have, how many universes and, therefore, how many DMX channels can we work with?  I can't find any record of this model number. 

    Where abouts are you seeing this number in the serial number? That is the order code for a Chilli 12 dimmer! Feel free to email me a picture of your serial number if you’d like me to confirm. 

    Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

  5. Zero 88 Fixture Library v40 Released

    in News & Announcements

    Posted

    Dear All,

    Zero 88 Fixture Library version 40 has now been released.

    For full information, including a list of included fixtures, please visit: http://zero88.com/library

    This release contains 12,228 fixtures from 392 different manufacturers. 

    The library is released in 2 formats:

    • Full version for desks running ZerOS software (FLX, FLX S, Solution range, ORB range and Leap Frog 48 & 96).
    • Filtered version for other Zero 88 desks. This removes data that is not used by these other desks, so that the file is smaller. When using a floppy disk (original Frog series, Illusion 500) it is recommended that the floppy disk be freshly formatted before using it.

     

    Download & Installation
    The correct format of the library for your desk can be downloaded by clicking the product name below. Please ensure your console is running the latest software before attempting to update.

    The library (.ift file) should be placed in the root directory of the floppy disk or USB stick.

    ZerOS desks (FLX, FLX S, Solution range, ORB range and Leap Frog 48 & 96)
    To load this file into your console extract it to the root of a USB stick and plug into your console. Then tap SETUP, tap "Load", then select the GFT.ift file.

    JesterML & JesterTL
    To load this file into your console extract it to the root of a USB stick and plug into your console. Then tap Setup -> Update Fixture Lib -> Update Library. 

    Frog Series and Illusion 500
    Use 'Common Fixture Manager' (included in the Fixture Tools download) to select the fixtures you wish to use, and save this as a file to a floppy disk. 

    Diablo
    The fixture library is used with the Diablo Fixture Manager PC software. 

    Sirius 250/500
    Use the Fixture Type Editor to import fixture types from the fixture library, and then use the ‘Export Sirius UFT’ function (under the ‘File’ menu) to generate data in the correct format for the Sirius 250/500.

    Further details of assigning fixtures on the desk to fixture types in the fixture library can be found in each desk’s operating manual.

     

    Additional Fixtures
    If you need a fixture type which is not in the library, please click here.

     

    If you have any questions let us know.

     Did you have time Edward to have a look on my French Manuel ?

    It is still sat in my inbox at the moment, as we have been very busy with all our online training.

    However, I will be taking a look at this, and will email you the steps we’ll need to make to get it on our website. 

    Again thanks so much for all your effort and passion for helping others with FLX.

    Hi Eric,

    Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

    Yes as Kevin says, these are fantastic. I saw you posted on Audio Fanzine too for people to see. We will be in touch so we can arrange creating a playlist of these videos on the Zero 88 YouTube channel.

  10. Print Patch

    in FLX

    Posted

    Hi Tom,

    Currently it still isn’t possible to export the patch. Only cue lists can be exported as a CSV file from the console.

    As suggested if you need to have a copy of your patch in front of you as you are addressing fixtures, you can either screen shot phantom ZerOS, or remotely connect a device to the console using the app and view the fixture schedule.

    If you have any questions let us know.

    Posted

    Hello,

    To hold down a button in Phantom ZerOS, right click on a button in the Front Panel window. It will then remain “held”, allowing you to click another button. Make sure you then right click the button again to release it. 

    Hope this helps,

    Edward

  14. Solution vs FLX features

    in Solution & Solution XL

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for your comments. Hope you've been enjoying the streams.

    Yes - the streams will definitely be of use to Solution users too.

    It would be helpful to have a translation grid of which FLX commands work on Solution desk ( & maybe other models) and which don't, and how to convert instructions from FLX to Solution. 

    We currently don't have this, but this is something we could look to create. In terms of general features, we have the comparison sheet below...

  17. Controlling Effects Speed

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    Hi Shakes,

    On 5/12/2020 at 10:11 PM, shakes said:

    If I alter the effect speed, it affects both movement and chase playback.

    How are you altering the effect speed? Are you doing this by selecting the fixtures, tapping the "Effect" tab at the top of the touchscreen, and then using the encoder wheels? If so, you will need to tap Effect until you see the effect number displayed on the encoder wheel you wish to edit.

    For more information on effects, see below...

    On 5/12/2020 at 10:11 PM, shakes said:

    Is it possible to alter the speed for each type individually?

    The best way of speeding up or slowing down effects manually is to use Speed Override. Speed Override can be accessed by tapping Z/Shift, and is on the second encoder wheel. Speed Override will adjust the currently viewed playback, so choose the playback you wish to adjust by pressing and holding VIEW and tapping the playback's button, and then use the Speed Override wheel. Tapping the middle button of the Speed Override encoder will reset back to the playback speed. Speed Override can also be configured to be controlled by a fader. To do this hold SETUP and tap an empty playback's button, and choose Speed Override.

    Hope this helps,

    Edward

    If you can make a lesson videos about how to make timecode lightshow with MIDI and SMPTE, And maybe Connect with Art-net to PC and connect to 3d light design programmes. It can be perfect :)

    i got 3 chauvet Qwash 360z and the fixture profile in advanced and basic mode dont seem to be right. the zoom on strobe and the dimmer seems to be focus.

    I have just taken a look at the fixture profile for this in version 39 of the fixture library, and I can confirm both basic and advanced modes match the channel map listed in the fixture's manual...

    https://www.chauvetprofessional.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Q-Wash_360Z-LED_UM_Rev_01e_DC-MG_Signed_2011-05-18.pdf

    To confirm the version of the fixture library you are currently using, on the console tap Z/Shift -> System Information.

    Can you confirm the mode and DMX match on both the console and the fixture?

    If you have any questions let me know.

  22. Symmetrical effects

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    Hi Remi,

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    On 5/3/2020 at 5:33 PM, Remi said:

    When creating symmetrical effects, the "Fan V" function  works perfectly for Intensity and Tilt movement, but not on Pan movement. 

    If you select your movers, apply a circle effect, choose No Offset, and then fan the offset using "Fan V", you will see that the first pair of fixtures pan together, then the next pair, and so on working outwards. This is correct, however what you are after is for example the Stage Right fixtures to mirror the Stage Left fixtures. The easiest way to do that, is tap SETUP, select either the stage right or stage left fixtures, and then under Invert, Invert Both the pan and tilt for these fixtures.

    Now if you come out of Setup, select the fixture and simply apply a circle effect, the fixtures will work in/out from the middle.

    Changing the invert options will result in all existing programming being affected, so just be aware of this.

    Hope this helps,

    Edward

  24. iPads as touchscreens for FLX S

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    Hello,

    1 hour ago, drscoop said:

    I was wondering if there was a limit on just how many could be used?

    No, there is no limit to the number of connected remotes/monitors. 

    1 hour ago, drscoop said:

    using Monitor on the iPads, if I changed from, say, the Cue window to the Fader window on one iPad, all iPads reflected the change and showed the same window.  However, using the Remore app, I could get screens showing a different, independent window on each, which is much more helpful, but less visually pleasing!  Is there a way of getting a similar, independent screen display using Monitor?

    That’s odd - all Remotes and Monitors should be able to view independent desktops/displays. In an older software version, all monitors would have to share the same external desktop. Please ensure you are running ZerOS 7.9.7. To confirm, tap Z/Shift -> System Information.

    Also, just as an aside, I tried to upload a photo of the iPad/FLX S setup

    This is probably the quota limit for your account on the forum. We’ll look to increase this for you. 

    Hope this helps,

    Edward
