Hi Roger, I would recommend trying the Capture files in the article below... http://support.zero88.com/1004254221 The article details how to configure a PC's network settings to allow for Capture to communicate with the console. Once you have done this, and prove this works, you can then use your custom visualisation software and show file, using the same network configuration. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi David, Thanks very much for sending those across, will continue this via email. Edward

Hi David, Please can you describe the error that occurred on startup? Did the console freeze? Was then an error message? Did the screen go black? Edward

Hi David, Really sorry to hear this. What happened when you booted the console that required you to power cycle? Please could you send any screen shots and the show file to support@zero88.com Kevin - for reference the console was running ZerOS 7.9.6. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Rachael, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. This can be done on FLX S48, however only by using an external keyboard. If for example you wanted to copy cues 1 through to 10, and paste them in cues 51 through to 60, you can tap Copy (found by pressing Z/Shift), and type 1>10 in the "From" field, and type 51 in the "To" field. The cues will be copied. To then remove cues 1 through to 10, you can type DELETE 1 THRU 10, followed by pressing the playback button that these cues are stored onto. The console will then ask you to confirm deleting these cues. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, Effects can’t be turned into chases. Cue stacks can be turned into chases. As effects are recorded as single cues, effects can be steps of a chase. To control the speed of an effect, you can use the Speed Override control. To do this hold SETUP and tap an empty playback’s button. From the options choose Speed Override. This fader will then control whichever playback you are viewing. So to control the speed of your effect, hold VIEW and tap your effect playback’s button. You can then use the fader to speed up or slow down the effect. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi RaffaABC, As Martin says, please send us a link/copy of the fixture’s manual containing the DMX channel map to FixtureSupport@zero88.com, and one of the team will be able to help you out and create the file for you. All the best, Edward

Hello, Firstly, welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. To configure a chase to crossfade between cues, hold SETUP and tap the chase's button to open the Chase's Settings. Under Intensity, choose "Cross Fade". You can then define a fade percentage, using the Intensity Fade Percentage option below. This defines the percentage of the duration of each step that the fixtures are fading. 100% fade would mean 100% of the duration of each cue the fixtures are fading. Click OK, and now the chase will cross fade between each step of the chase. You can the use a Global BPM fader to control the speed of the chase. For more information on Global BPM, see below... http://support.zero88.com/1011580981 Hope this helps, if you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, I have logged your request on our system (reference number ZOS-9618), to add playback names to the ZerOS Remote app. If you use the Monitor app, rather than the Remote app, the faders desktop will show you the same information as the console. The on-screen faders can also be used to set the fader level. To do this, on the console tap SETUP -> Settings -> Operational -> MFF Window playback action -> Set fader level. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Peter, Yes by the looks of the manual Mode 1 and Mode 5 have the same functions, but Mode 5 is designed for pixel mapping, where the master controls are first, followed by individual pixel control. Auto Colour effects will only be applied to RGB(W) parameters. You could however create an effect on FLX using the wave-forms, and apply a function such as a sine wave on the virtual colour wheel parameter, which will then run through the colours. Looking at the fixture's manual, when the virtual colour wheel parameter is at full, it will run a colour effect automatically. If you didn't want zone control, and just wanted to control the fixture as a whole, I would recommend operating the fixture in a different mode that simply has one set of RGBW control. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Peter, What mode do you wish to use these fixtures in? For Zone control, I would recommend using the fixtures in Mode 5, and with the fixture file attached... Robin 600 LED Wash Mode 5 with Zones.ift Using the file attached, for each 600 LED Wash in Mode 5, patch a "Mode 5" fixture on the console, plus 2 "RGBW Zone" fixtures. This will give you 3 patched fixtures on the console (one of which containing master controls including Pan and Tilt), each allowing individual control of each zone. You will then be able to select all of these, and colour mix and run effects across all zones. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, No plans for this yet. We have had requests, and it is something we may look to do in future. Edward

Hi Martin, Thank you for the feedback, I will make a note of your comments. Are you using the iOS or Android apps? The colour scheme is dark to match the console skin and work in a dark environment. There isn’t an alternative colour scheme. If you turn the screen brightness up you should see it a little easier. The encoder wheels aren’t the easiest to use on the app. Fixture control via the app is mainly designed via palettes, however the encoders are there if needed. All the best, Edward

Hello, Yes it is (as per ZerOS 7.9.5 and later). FLX can patch its allocated number of universes across 64 universes. Edward

Hi Rémy, If you email us at support@zero88.com, we'll be able to help you out. Edward

Hello, That’s correct, palettes can have the same value for each fixture stored, or each fixture can have their own value. With colour palettes, if fixtures contained in the palette don’t all have the same RGB(W) values, you won’t be shown a colour preview on the palette tile. Edward

Hi Eric, Sorry to hear this. If you tap Z/Shift -> System Information -> System Text, are there any error messages being reported? If so could you take a picture of this screen and email it to me? I have logged this error report on our system as ZOS-9368 for investigation. If you have any queries let us know. Edward

Hi Carl-Anders, Firstly, welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. When in Channels fader function, the buttons below the faders will always act as channel select buttons. There is currently no way of changing these to be a flash function. If you do wish to have the ability to flash certain fixtures, you can record these onto playback faders, and use the playback buttons to flash them. Hope this helps, Edward

Salut, OK merci de nous le faire savoir. Il n'y a pas de problèmes de compatibilité connus entre la dernière version de ZerOS Remote Monitor pour PC et ZerOS 7.9.6. Content que ça fonctionne à nouveau. Hello, OK thank you for letting us know. There are no known compatibility issues between the latest version of ZerOS Remote Monitor for PC and ZerOS 7.9.6. Glad you got this working again. All the best, Edward

Hi Thierry, This is for FLX series and ORB series only. For Solution, when you run through cues the blue highlighted cell should remain on the cue number. If you press ENTER, the MFKs will allow you to type in a cue number. Press ENTER, and this will change the chosen Next cue. You can then press GO, to go to this cue. Alternatively, in your example to go back a single cue, you can double press Pause. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Zulu, If you tap SETUP -> Upgrade, you will see the console's current universe allocation, and the maximum it can be upgraded to, which will be 2. What is your console reporting as its current universe count? Even if you have a 1 universe console, you will still be able to patch onto universes 1 to 64, as long as your total patched channels doesn't exceed your allowed universe count. You could therefore still assign universe 1 and universe 2 to the 5 pin and 3 pin output, even if you have a 1 universe console. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Thierry, To insert a cue, create your lighting state, tap RECORD, and then using the MFKs or an external keyboard, type the cue number you wish this to be stored as (such as 2.5 for example), and then press the playback button you wish to store this cue onto. More information can be found here... http://support.zero88.com/1114974331 Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Neil, In a future update, Add Fixtures will show the most frequently used manufacturers at the top of the list. This is logged on our system as ZOS-7984. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Zulu, Glad to hear you got the tape working. It sounds like it has been disabled. You can check this by tapping SETUP -> Universes -> Desk Universe 1, and ensure that both output 1 and output 2 are assigned to be outputting universe 1. If you only see Output 1 under Desk Universe 1, click Add, type 2, and click OK to add DMX output 2. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on. Edward

Hello, This option has been added thanks to the firmware update. Continuous streams DMX at a rate of 29Hz. Delta streams DMX packets whenever there is a change in DMX data from the console. If there are no changing values from the console, the data rate drops 1Hz. It is therefore a useful option to use for a couple of reasons. Firstly if there are DMX devices on the line that are not truly DMX compliant, changing this could help control them, by changing the data rate. It also can be useful when running effects. If in continuous the parameter changes would happen 29 times a second, whereas delta would increase this for an update every time there is a change. It’s therefore an option that you’ll probably not need to change, but useful to have if you run into any issues. Edward
