3.1 is the firmware version number, E means Elara.
-
If you're using moving heads, a JesterML or JesterTL desk would be better. These desks allow you to copy entire chases. The basic Jester doesn't.
-
This is probably a result of Frog Reference 5563 which was changed in release 10.8 to support newer desks with blue LCDs. You can increase the brightness from the installation default of 50% in Super User -> Illumination.
-
This problem has been corrected in Phantom Jester version 3.1, CLICK HERE.
-
An updated version of the Offline Editor for the Jester, JesterML & JesterTL desks - Phantom Jester - has been released. This can be downloaded from the Jester, JesterML or JesterTL support pages.
This version of Phantom Jester corrects a problem loading JSF showfiles (JES-2988), there is no change to the desk software, which remains at the following versions:
- Jester V3.4
- JesterML/TL V3.0
-
Unfortunately this is a bug in Phantom Jester when looking for JSF show files. It does not affect Phantom JesterML, Phantom JesterTL, or any of the actual desks. It will be fixed in the next version of Phantom Jester (reference JES-2988).
To work around the problem for now, *hide* any other unwanted JSF files from Phantom Jester, either by renaming them to a different file extension, or by moving them into a subdirectory.
-
The Fixture tools appear under Start -> All Programs -> Zero 88 -> Fixture Tools. The files themselves are installed to the directory C:\Program Files\Zero 88\Fixture Tools .

Your suggestion has been logged for consideration in a future software update, reference number JES-2982.
The button combination SHIFT + FIXTURES is already used to set the shifted wheel editing mode for brightness, do you have another suggestion for how you would like to see this work?
It's important to make it easy to see that this mode is activated and to exit it, so that users who use palettes don't get confused by the new functionality, thinking the desk is broken because they can't see their palettes any more.

The Juggler does not have a DMX patch function, however if you have Betapack3 dimmers, then you can use the DMX patch function on the dimmers to achieve what you want.
If you want to simply raise and lower all 12 channels together, then you can just use the master faders on the Juggler.

Support for Inverse channels has been added in JesterML/TL software version 3.0, CLICK HERE for further details.
-
MIDI Show Control functionality has now been released in Jester software version 3.4, and JesterML/TL software version 3.0. See the software release announcements at the top of each product forum for further details.

Battery Backed RAM: 512kB
FLASH: 8MB
-
The JesterML has an internal battery backed memory to hold the showfile, plus an internal FLASH memory to hold the fixture library.
-
Phantom Frog does not have any MIDI functionality. On the Frog desks, if the optional SMPTE/MIDI/CAN/DMXIN upgrade kit is fitted, MIDI timecode can be used to trigger timed memories in the memory stack.
-
The part to use is Preh 71430-080. You can buy these from CPC or Farnell in the UK.

That adapter isn't something we've ever tried, so we can't tell you whether it would work or not, sorry.
A while ago, someone also asked us about THIS, but again, not something we've tried, so we can't say whether that would work either.
If anyone has any experiences to share, good or bad, then please let us know!

The pinout is printed on the back of the desk:

The Jester did not change, but continues to control Ch08 on the ILumen from Fader #2 and Ch09 on the ILumen from Fader #3.
because:
DMX:<008> Ch02DMX:<009> Ch03
You are confusing DMX addresses with desk channels.
Where you see DMX:<008>, that's the channel on the dimmer.
Where you see Ch02, that's the fader on the Jester.
-
The description you give does not match the DMX patch in the showfile, which is:
DMX:<001> Ch07
DMX:<002> Ch09
DMX:<003> Ch08
DMX:<004> Ch10
DMX:<005> Ch13
DMX:<006> Ch14
DMX:<007> Ch01
DMX:<008> Ch02
DMX:<009> Ch03
DMX:<010> Ch04
DMX:<011> Ch05
DMX:<012> Ch06
DMX:<013> Ch11
DMX:<014> Ch12
DMX:<015> Ch15
DMX:<016> Ch16
DMX:<017> Ch--
DMX:<018> Ch43
DMX:<019> Ch44
DMX:<020> Ch19
DMX:<021> Ch21
DMX:<022> Ch22
DMX:<023> Ch23
DMX:<024> Ch24

DMX:<031> Ch31
DMX:<032> Ch32
DMX:<033> Ch33
DMX:<034> Ch34
DMX:<035> Ch35
DMX:<036> Ch36
DMX:<037> Ch37
DMX:<038> Ch38
DMX:<039> Ch39
DMX:<040> Ch40
DMX:<041> Ch41
DMX:<042> Ch42
DMX:<043> Ch43
DMX:<044> Ch44
DMX:<045> Ch45
DMX:<046> Ch46
DMX:<047> Ch47
DMX:<048> Ch48
The channel levels shown on the monitor are just that, channels, they do not show the patched DMX output, so changing the DMX patch will not in any way affect the channel levels shown on the monitor displays.
Do you also have a DMX patch set on the dimmer which is confusing things?
-
On the Jester, the DMX addresses are shown on the left, and the desk channel numbers are shown on the right. Looking at your showfile, I think this is where the confusion may be.
Select the DMX address first using the cursors. Then press the flash button for the desk channel that you want to control that DMX address.

Please can you save a copy of your showfiles from both desks and attach them to your post so that we can investigate this.
