Hi André, The file Mike has kindly created is a single fixture profile, not a full library. To use this, go into SETUP, choose 'Assign Fixtures', then 'Add Fixtures', and on the multifunctional keys, instead of choosing 'Fixture Library', choose 'USB' instead. Everything else will be the same - the console will ask you to select the manufacture, then the fixture type, etc etc Hope this helps Jon

Hi Nick, If you can describe exactly what you are trying to create, maybe we can point you in the right direction? Regards Jon

Hi Sam, I've unlocked your account. The Beta Forum is available here: http://zero88.com/forum/forum/137-beta-test/ Please ensure you read this thread first: http://zero88.com/forum/topic/6563-important-information-instructions-please-read/ Please let me know how you get on. Best regards, Jon

Correct :-)

Hi Sam, We've made this process a lot more secure in our next software update. The Release Candidate of the software has been released, and we're hoping to publically release this by the end of the week. Probably best to give that a try. You can either wait for the public release, or I can give you access to the beta software? Regards Jon

(On the Leapfrog 48 & 96, once you patch this, you can go into SETUP > PATCH > EDIT FIXTURES, select your fixtures on the MultiFunctional Key, choose 'Topset' and change the topset on the dimmer channel so it doesn't go above the value keith mentioned above).

Hi Charles, We support the legacy Windows Mobile, but not Windows Phone Regards Jon

As long as it's within USB 1.0 specification (which presumably it would be) then it will work fine :-)

Hi DmatejD, On the Solution go to SETUP > Network > Wings and change 'Enable Wings' to 'Yes'. The IP address of the console and the IP address of the wings need to be the same for the first three 'parts' but different for the last 'part', so for example: 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.6 Hope this helps

Hi greggr1, What's the IP address of the console and of your tablet? Regards Jon

Hi Lars, Please find the fixture attached Zoom LED MJ-1006B.ift Regards Jon

Hi Mattdyas, This sounds like a tracking issue. Can you post your showfile up and let us know which chase you are getting the problem in?

Hi AxelfromSect, Which console are you using this on? The 48 channel version is just 12 x RGBA, so you get a lot more control of the unit if you patch it as 12 separate RGBA fixtures (found within 'Standard Fixtures' when selecting the manufacture). Best regards, Jon

We have updated the Linux Kernel we use for 7.8, which will be released shortly. This means a greater range of touch screens should be supported in this release. I'd be happy to send you some beta code so you could try it? We don't recommend running shows on beta software, so you will need to try the beta, and then backdate your console back to release software. If you would like to give it a try, please send me an email (address in my signature below). Many Thanks Jon

GoPowers, As I said, if manufactures kept to standards - all touch screen monitors would work with ZerOS. However, unfortunately, they don't. The support within our Linux kernel are for the touch component that is used within consumer touch screens. Without knowing which manufacture made the touch component of the touch screen you list, it's hard to say if it will be supported or not. Touch Screen manufactures could also change touch component half way through production, making it even harder to track down. I've listed a good value, good quality, touch screen monitor which has been tried and tested, and that is currently available in various sizes - what else would you like to know?

Sounds like a good way to upset the DSM when they have to change every cue point in their book! Once a memory is recorded, we try never to change the number of that memory, as it's often written in various scripts etc, and from experience when this changes it creates a lot of confusion. A much better way is, as Ian has suggested, to use point cues.

Hi John, Probably easier to chat over the phone for this one. When will you have a chance to be in front of the desk? (edited the title!)

Hi Jayartibee, It should work out of the box - the Jester 24/48 have the channel faders pre-patched to DMX channels 1 onwards, and the demux should be set to DMX address 1 out of the box too.

Hi Lightmaster, Yes you can do this. If you hold down the SHIFT button whilst moving the 'offset' wheel, it will fan the offset across the fixtures. This will offset them in the order you select the fixtures (if you have selected them using a group, the group will have remembered the order you selected the fixtures when you recorded the group). If you want to change the fan settings (from the middle out, for example) hold down SETUP + EFFECT together, and change the 'Shifted Wheel Mode' setting. Best regards Jon

Hi Dan, I see that you are in our Beta Test group, are you running Beta software? If so, there is a discussion about software speed issues within the Beta Forum, and how you get around these. If not, which version of ZerOS are you running? Regards Jon

Please don't double post - other thread deleted. Manual available here: http://zero88.com/support/index.php?/de/Knowledgebase/List/Index/120/downloads

We've discussed this on the phone, but for everyone else's help... Yes, so for example: Memory 10 - Trigger GO - Fade 0s - 1st Light on Memory 11 - Trigger AUTO - Fade 0s - Dwell 0.2s - 1st Light off Memory 12 - Trigger AUTO - Fade 0s - Dwell 0.2s - 2nd Light on Memory 13 - Trigger AUTO - Fade 0s - Dwell 0.2s - 2nd Light off Memory 14 - Trigger AUTO - Fade 0s - Dwell 0.2s - 3rd Light on Memory 15 - Trigger AUTO - Fade 0s - Dwell 0.2s - 3rd Light off Obviously change the dwell time to the length that gives you the effect you prefer.

Hi Howard, Do you have the budget to hire something in to do this effect for you? If not, what do you already have? If it's just tungsten, it's quite hard to get the effect you want, as there's a natural dimming curve with a tungsten lamp due to the filament warming up and cooling down. You can, however, slightly get around this by putting a preheat on the lamp, so instead of flashing from 0% > 100% > 0% you instead flash from 10% > 100% > 10%. You could program a "follow on" cue within you memory stack (search the manual for "auto" and "dwell") or you could put this onto a submaster and manually use the flash buttons. Hope that helps a little bit. Remember to use some CT Blue gel to get a cooler colour temperature from your tungsten lamps

Hi AshA101, Have a look at page 61 of the manual - it explains how MIDI works on the Jester ML48 http://zero88.com/manuals/jesterml%20manual%203.0.pdf Hope this helps Jon

Hi James, "Effects" (which are wave-based) can be put onto submasters, but "Chases" (which are step-based) have to live within cue stacks. If you want live control of these chases, press "Fader Function" (it's one of the four buttons top middle of the console) and then choose "playbacks" on the Syntax Keys (the 5 blank keys with LCDs above them). This will turn the bottom 20 faders on the ORB XF into playbacks 1 - 20 (the top 40 faders will stay as whatever they were before - channels or sub masters). This means your chases on Cue Stack 1 and Cue Stack 2 will now be on the first and second fader of the bottom row. Hope this helps.
