Hi Mac,

 

Offset is used to fan and spread effects across lights. If you have multiple lights selected running an effect, and dial the offset wheel you will see no change to your lights. This is because you would be offsetting each light by the same amount, therefore they continue doing the same thing. For the Offset encoder to act as a "Fan", you'll need to hold SHIFT as you dial the Offset Encoder. To change how the Offset wheel behaves when you hold SHIFT, hold SETUP and tap the EFFECT button. Then hold SHIFT, and you will see the red stripe on the Wheel Behavior buttons change. You can then keep shift held and select Fan Middle" for example, OK the window, and now when you hold SHIFT and dial the offset your selected fixtures will all fan middle.

 

In ZerOS 7.9.3 planned to be released within the next few weeks dedicated Offset buttons are provided along the top of the Effects Palette window to allow you to quickly fan effects across your lights.

 

Hope that helps, any queries let me know.

 

Kind regards

Edward
