    The red entries in the fixture schedule trigger the 'something's wrong' button in my mind.

    We'll also be reducing the brightness of the red in 7.13 to help mitigate these alarm bells!

    ZerOS has always (within my time, at least!) stored patched fixtures within the showfile and used that if the library fixture was different. However, as the library format hardly ever changed, no one ever knew and so it caused no problems. Over the past couple of years we've made significant improvements to the library, and so we needed to provide an "upgrade" mechanism to utilise these new features (and a way of indicated this was possible).

  3. LOL! Zero 88 is a brand within Signify - that isn't changing - so the Signify address remains - no change there!

    Sadly I joined the team too late to have an @zero88.com email address... my history is:

    • @cooperindustries.com
    • @eaton.com
    • @cooperlighting.com
    • @signify.com

    I've averaged an address every three years... it's a great way to avoid the spam bots 😂

    Three Update in 8 month... Great for us.

    It’s been lovely to speed up releases now that two+ years of big “behind the scenes” changes are complete (library, multi-cell, multi-emitter). Looking forward to the next release, targeting within the next two months!

    add a delay to the dimming instructions to LED fixtures to help them blend with traditional fixture dimming. Maybe this is something that could be added to a fixture in patch

    I suspect a different dimmer curve is required for LEDs and shutter dimmers

    Yes, I'd definitely see this being a custom dimmer curve, where you stay at 0% for the first 1/10th, then fade up to 100% over 8/10th, and then stay at 100% intensity for the last 1/10th.

    Jon I think the guy has a Solution rather than Orb, but couldn’t open the DWG file for Solution. I could be wrong, sorry if so. 

    Apologies, you're completely correct - I was on my mobile and didn't notice that minor (!) detail. As usual, ignore me and read what Edward says 🙂

  8. For screws:

    (These are both available from the ORB Product Page: https://zero88.com/control/orb)

    Once you're inside, you should easily see the CR2032 battery on the main processor board (the board screwed to the bottom of the console)

    When do will stop this topic and start to add some popular choice on futur ZerOS ? 

    There’s no plan to stop this topic, we’ll just keep updating it by adding new ideas and removing the ideas we implement - like we’ve already done when we released ZerOS 7.11:

    On 4/10/2022 at 10:01 AM, Jon Hole said:

    ZerOS 7.11 has been released which fulfils "Colour mixing with mutli-emiter LEDs (eg, Amber, UV, Lime, Cyan etc)" - so I've removed this option from the poll. At the time, it was at 8.83% with 25 votes, making it the highest voted feature.

    Most of the keyword defined in the "Fixture Type Editor" was taken in consideration, except the longuest ones, since we can only enter 7 characters in the color name (it's the case for Deep Red, Red Orange, Light Green, Mint Green, Green Cyan, Royal Blue, Deep Blue, Congo Blue)

    Is there some keyword to replace them, that make them recognized ?

    Deep Red = "Deep Re"

    Red Orange = "Red Orn"

    Light Green = "LightGr"

    Mint Green = "Mint Gr"

    Green Cyan = "Grn Cya"

    Royal Blue = "RoyalBl"

    Deep Blue = "DeepBlu"

    Congo Blue = "CongoBl"
