AB lighting Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 With version 3.0 I am having a problem in that when trying to turn a static scene memory into a chase as soon as you click on turn into a chase the desk locks up and the screen goes blank. I have tried this several times and the same thing happens every time. This needs to be resolved ASAP as this renders the desk useless for many productions and I cant wait a few months for another software release please help. I had high hopes for this software release but still experiencing other bugs too still in copying cues and certain cue No.s dont seem to like being recorded on as soon as I change the no. the cue is recorded as I would like. Please Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkup_xp Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi there Firstly, if the desk is 'crashing' when you are trying to create a chase then it will be prompting you to save a debug file when you reboot. If this is the case, please can you email this debug file to support@zero88.com and we'll take a look at it as soon as possible to work out what is causing the crash. Without these debug files, there is little our R&D team can do to recreate these bugs - we have extensively tested the recording of chases in version 3 software and as far as we can tell it is working fine. What are the bugs you refer to in copying cues? Copying a cue will only copy the programmed channels from that cue - if you want to copy the whole look, you need to output that scene and record it in the new location, with Smart Tag enabled. I've never seen anything like the certain cue numbers not liking being recorded onto. Are you working on an old show file, or performing a Reset Desk each time you start afresh? It's possible something old is being kept in the memory erroneously - again, emailing us a show file would really help here. If you'd like to talk to us directly, please feel free to call the Zero 88 office on 01633 838088 during office hours and we'll be happy to discuss these problems and solutions to them.

techbppac Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Have been testing the new operating system release- greatly improved! But having trouble programming a chase. When selecting 'Turn into chase' button the desk crases to black screen white cross. Is there any other way of creating a chase or is this a bug and if so is it a quick fix !?
