Zero 88 Fixture Library Release 29

For full information, please visit: http://zero88.com/software/library


This release contains 4339 fixtures from 234 different manufacturers. For a list of fixtures in the library please click here.

The library is released in 2 formats:

• a full unfiltered version for desks running ZerOS software (ORB Series, Solution series, FLX, Frog 2 and Leap Frog 48 & 96).
• a smaller filtered version for other Zero 88 desks. This removes data that is not used by these other desks, so that the file is smaller. When using a floppy disk (original Frog series, Illusion500) it is recommended that the floppy disk be freshly formatted before using it.

Download & Installation
The correct format of the library for your desk can be downloaded by clicking the product name below.

The library (.ift file) should be placed in the root directory of the floppy disk or USB stick.

ZerOS desks (ORB Series, Solution series, FLX, Frog 2 and Leap Frog 48 & 96)
The latest fixture library is automatically installed on the desk as part of each operating software update, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Files -> Update Fixture File.

JesterML & JesterTL
The fixture library is installed on the desk at manufacture, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Update Fixture Lib -> Update Library.

Frog Series and Illusion 500
Use 'Common Fixture Manager' (included in the Fixture Tools download) to select the fixtures you wish to use, and save this as a file to a floppy disk.

Diablo
The fixture library is used with the Diablo Fixture Manager PC software.

Sirius 250/500
Use the Fixture Type Editor to import fixture types from the fixture library, and then use the ‘Export Sirius UFT’ function (under the ‘File’ menu) to generate data in the correct format for the Sirius 250/500.

Further details of assigning fixtures on the desk to fixture types in the fixture library can be found in each desk’s operating manual.

Additional Fixtures
If you need a fixture type which is not in the library, then you can create this yourself using the Fixture Type Editor. If you post a link to the manufacturers datasheet on the forum, we will endeavour to add the fixture in the next library release.
