  1. If you are using the system dmx output monitor, you may also need an external dmx monitor, in case it was a desk output problem. I have not had a problem with using the desk system dmx monitor, I find it a useful feature. As the fixtures have been responding since reprogramming the show, it appears to rule out a dmx cable, unless you have moved a cable, which may have "cured" the fault.
  2. I was helping look at the unwanted colours that occur when fading between two cues in a show where the Colour Timing had been set to 0 secs so was causing snap cue colour transitions and unwanted colour morphing as can be seen in this DropBox video. Pymalion 0 sec Colour Time . Another unwanted effect was the Event Lighting Pixerbar12Hex doing linear colour shifts along the bar. I experimented with extending the Colour Fade Time and found that if you use a Colour fade Time of Cue Fade Time plus 4 seconds, most of the colour morphing did not occur, the led bars colour faded smoothly and the only manual adjustment was presetting house curtain wash colours in the blackout preceding the curtain wash, as a preset in black. See end results in this DropBox video. Pygmalion Colour Time is Cue Time plus 4 seconds .
  3. On the bottom of the Front Panel view it has Right click to press-and-hold.
  4. One thing I noticed when doing compilation was in the Piety mood folder Lee 707 was incorrectly labeled as ultimate frost which should be ultimate violet. I use ultimate violet as a brighter colour than Lee 181 congo blue. The andoid Lee Filters app has Lee 707 as Ultimate Violet. No uppercase in mood boards but uppercase in other sources.
  5. I am using the Pluto 2000 at a show in a UWA theatre, they were patched into an ION desk using the etc library. The Pluto 2000 strobed when trying to use pan so it looks like an undocumented firmware change in the display control board in three Pluto 2000 zoom wash I recently replaced. Wil have to chase up the service centre. The fixtures worked ok in 16 channel mode on the ION. Will have to wait 2 weeks to do more tests as The Gondoliers starts a 2 week season on Thursday.
  6. I have been trying another way to find colours within Lee Filters Mood Boards and have cut and pasted the moods with a description for each one from the Lee Filers web site and The Art Of Light publication. I have not done the Inspired By ones yet. Lee Mood Boards ZerOS 7 Screenshots.pdf
  7. I have patched three ProShop Pluto 2000 (also called LEDMOV530) into my FLXS24. There is no light output when I first put the fader to max, when I select a colour using the Colour tab I get a light output of that colour. But the light is flickering or strobing. I have looked at the strobe channel encoder wheel and it has a default of 0%. How do I extract a fixture file from the ZerOS Library to view the channel details using the Fixture Type Editor. Is this the correct way to confirm the Pluto2000 Person2 fixture file channels match the manual. Thanks. LEDMOV530 - Pluto 2000 Wash Manual.pdf
  8. The default setting for when creating a fixture for Strobe is 255 but most fixtures want a default setting of zero. I set this default to zero when creating a new fixture, but occasionally forget to and have to go back and edit the default value for strobe to zero. The manual for your bar shows strobe as 0...255 Stroboscopic effect (o% to 100%)
  9. I have a FLXS48 with the second universe and want to run shows on PhantomZerOS, how do you configure it to have 1024 channels please ?
  10. I use a FLXS48 for most shows and run most shows from Master Playback which allows the desk to stay in Channel mode. If I make a change to side lights colour during a cue using channels control, I can save changes using Update > Master Playback or discard changes made by tapping Clear twice when I go onto the next Master Playback cue. If I am using my FLXS24, I use a laptop as external monitor so I can use the laptop to see the Faders screen for better viewing and control. I have a touch screen laptop.
  11. Thanks kgallen and Edward, time to work on my colour palettes again !
  12. The non availability of a colour swatch is something that I was not aware of until I last night. How do you make a colour palette available to all fixtures , is there a global apply to all or do I select one of each fixture type when building up my colour swatches? My question is why does the swatch colour appear on 21C L601 Silver but not 22C L332 Special Rose Pink or 22C, 23C, 24C, 25C. I tried shortening the colour name to one line but that did not make the colour swatch appear.
  13. I was making up a colour palette for a show and was wondering why some colour swatches appear for some Mood Board colours, but not others ?
  14. I was not able to find Delete Fixture using the ZerOS Online Manual using FLXS48 as the variant , I hade to use the left hand menu Patching > Fixture Schedule > Deleting Fixtures . Patching was on the second page of search results, which had Find Out More ... Fixture Schedule which had Click To Find Out More About These Fixture Schedule Subjects ... Deleting Fixtures Thanks for the help and quick replies.
  15. Thanks Jon Yes it is in a better location, now to read through the release notes.
