Hi djkev, basically DMX is a 'serial' data link and a fatfrog has two outputs of the same universe - it´s like a inbuild splitter. The universe A/B labels are useless on frog / fatfrog / leapfrog they have only one DMX 512 universe the bigger mambo and bullfrog desks of frog range have indeed 2 universes of DMX. As Pearl said never connect two desks together on one DMX line. One of the least things to happen is crash the desks DMX drivers. F2 is naming submasters,presets,memories F4 is the group button on the fatfrog I lost what the F1 and F3 buttons do :oops: sorry since ver. 9_8 the scroll lock indicates that the enter button will be recognized as a "go"

Hi Pearl, It´s possible that your disks are broken - I had a very similar problem after 10 disks trying it runs the Update.

Hi LuxProDeo, sounds like the DMX outputsockets aren´t connected to the mainboard. I never opend our frogs so I can´t really help. I´am very sure that KWR88 or K-Nine are helping you to fix this problem. Just send a PM to them. Good luck regards

Hi fuze75, welcome to the forum. what makes problems exactly ? Is the studio spot already setted up to a fixture botton ? are you programming in full or partial mode ? is your DMX correct wired / patched ? what software rel. do you run ? the most things can be found in SuperUser press + / - and Enter at same time

It was just to get the technical clue behind your updates... I have seen desk´s with ver 6 on it - so I thought I took my own update disks with me when going across theaters Since I´m in the beta testers group I used every upcoming update software, even if it was beta. I`m satisfied with ver 9.8 Paul. I had stressed this in another topic.

Hi folks, is it possible to Update a desk running software ver 6.0 with the new ver 9.8 without having all the updates between available ? TIA regards

preemeinent work Zero88 ! All troubles I had once with FR5490 are fixed ! *terrific* The movement effects engine is working very good. Very nice addictional keyboard funktionality. Thank you for that. You guys are great :D PS: I checked V9.8 in the last two houres it runs very stable - just to nip any doubts in the bud

nothing is impossible though. carry on happy frogging:mrgreen: @Laubfrosch Thank you very much... I´ll do my very best.

We do many shows, but my camara is lost since I rearranged my cubicle :-( it must be somewhere. So i´ll have to feed still life photos :mrgreen:

Sorry for OT ... I´m very happy not to share the desk with other operators...

Hi, If the snap thing isn´t fast enough you can try to change the phisical positions of your colors / gobos. Put the triangle gobo next to the open gobo (gobo1) position on gobo wheel Put your green to the color1 position of your colorwheel. This trick to get very fast gobo/color exchange - I did it for theater productions.

Kirkup is very right :-) use the gobo index function not the rotating gobo function to get the right gobo position...

Hi, this seemed to be a error of fixtures gobo indexing electronic. You should have some play with your Mac´s rotating gobo´s I´m sure that after rotating the gobo fast it couldn´t find it´s indexed position.

Hi pscandrett, please be patient when I misunderstood - I answer you my personal suggestion to get your things work. Before you program a cuestack you program all LTP presets to your desk. Then begin to plot your show using your pallets - without change anything before its stored. Know while playback the memorys activate the corresponding palette. In other venue to get position/colour/beamshapes in right order you have to change your palettes only - the memory will activate them. It´s recommended that when using palettes no LTP value is changed while programmed to a memory when you want it to correspondent with palettes I´m sure that you aren´t the only one being incoherent as I have a little lag in your language - I´m still learning day by day.

Slighly Off Topic I´am sorry Cherobrier: Indeed a reason being here ... I hope being here could help to take your mind off your pain. My thumb was trapped by a caselid last night so I feel with you. Zero88´s employees assignment to their product´s is unprecedented. Ein ganz dolles Lob an alle Zero88 mitarbeiter !! better using a broom handle then a hammer

Null problemo

Hi JonHirsh, There is a answer to all of your questions let me begin at your 1st one: Q: When doing fly outs whats the fastest way to do this A: First your desk has to be minimum software release 9.6 (CLICK HERE) then it is possible to have so called n-shot chasers. I assume that a fly out is a 2 or 3 step movement sequenz. program a chase and modifiy the <N-Shot> value to 1. Works very fine for me. Q:Why is it that when in full or partial mode you cannot take down the lights A:I recommend that you work in partial mode so it is possible to save fixtures brightness parameters. Remember to pull down fixtures brightness at the wheel when beginning a show or when program a darkout. Q:The Fkeys well not that imparitive why do they only work on the desk and not an attached keyboard A:Indeed the function keys are not routed to the keybord I think this is because some desk of frog series have different functions on this FKeys. More discussions to this :HERE Q:How would anyone busk with this board i just dont see this being possible. A:Think positive everything is possible :mrgreen:

Dear cherowbrier after assigning your fixtures go into superuser->desksetup->patchfunctions select "manual" then press first assigned fixturebutton the screen will jump onto f1= then push in via +/- or external keyboard the DMX start address of the unit go to the next fixt. and enter the DMX Start address of this unit and so on. see also p.58 of the manual

the opposite of ArtisticLicense products :mrgreen:

Hi guys I need to adapt DMX512 into Strand D54 has anyone a idea where to get a cheap demultiplexing unit ??

I suppose its only half the way :mrgreen: I´m impatient

Let´s start a competition: How to... program a deskkillerchaser

If they ever got to 3, they might have to lift something The only thing they lift unsolicitous is "groundlift"

Will you frogbreeders be in Frankfurt at the PL&S ?? and do you bring the frog2 with you ?? I want to have a play with it
