Erics Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 You could use the ZerOs Monitor for Windows Software. http://support.zero88.com/Legacy-Products/Legacy-Consoles/Legacy-ZerOS/ORB-XF/999689141/ZerOS-Monitor-for-PC.htm It is used with a ethernet network connection.

You’ll be able to connect the console and your laptop with a single Ethernet cable, and then run the ZerOS Remote Monitor software on your laptop. Information on how to connect your laptop to give you an external screen can be found here... http://support.zero88.com/999689141 If you have any queries with this just let me know.

Emrys Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Can you have a touch screen monitor connected via the dvi and an ordinary one via VGA at the same time to a FLX? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Z88 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi Emrys, FLX only has a DVI-D monitor output, not a VGA output. The D-Sub connector on the rear of the console is a D-Sub 9 connector, used for remote switches. If you have any questions let us know.

Edward Z88 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi Lloyd, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. 14 hours ago, lightninglloyd said: ive downloaded the latest software for windows and the desk but just get a connection error Please see the link below, containing information on using the Windows Remote application with FLX S24... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/networking/using-the-remote-apps If you wish to connect a laptop running ZerOS Monitor to the FLX S24, you will be able to use a single Ethernet cable between the two. Using this method, you will need to configure static IP addresses in range of one another, for both the FLX S24 and laptop running ZerOS Monitor. For more information on IP addressing, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/networking/ip-addressing If you have any questions please let me know.

Edward, how to we get access to the ex-KB articles and other collateral that's been created over the years? How do we fix these legacy forum links that are all now 404? I didn't try very hard (like a "typical" user/customer) (*) but I took a wander from the zero88 home page into the support section, to see if finding these articles is obvious. It would seem not. Yes, the new website is very flashy and FLX shouts at you, but as "predicted" when we previewed the new site, the simple substance and access to the key user information has been lost. How do we fix this? Kevin * Actually I tried a bit harder now and I still don't find this info, I'm just going round in circles on the website... I can find user manuals now - although not down the support rabbit-hole - but what about the KB stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iank99 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 @kgallenJust had a quick womble myself and it looks like the "micro site" used for the knowledgebase has been deleted from the sub domain support.zero88.com - the domain can be accessed but it's blank. It's very likely therefore (assuming no one did a FB & didn't take regular backups) that restoring a backup should fix the issue in the interim.

I've just had a quick look at the manuals page and can't see any links to Frog/Fat Frog (for example) and there are many still in use & being traded second hand - but often the manuals have been lost/discarded. That was the beauty of the old knowledgebase - it acted as a repository for such information i.e changing your Jester Battery, Alcora Mk 2 manuals. The kit is still out there being used & traded because it's so darn sturdy (as we all know) - it would be nice to show some "love" by letting folks getting the info they need to use it?

iank99 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks for that - on a side note - the Alcora picture on that page isn't the correct picture... The timer knobs were dark grey to match the fader caps - the knobs on the one in the picture are from a Sirius... But then we're all "guilty" - I've just noticed that the image I use on my website has a Sirius fader cap & Frog timer caps Quote Ian Knight aka The Service Guy - www.serviceguy.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hey... I want an Alcora Mk1 picture! With analogue output kit fitted 😛 ...my first own-purchase Zero88 product. The first time we ever got a bonus from work and I blew the lot on an Alcora Mk1 with analogue kit. Bought (new) from @iank99 at CTS in July 2000 😀. The Alcora had only been out a couple of months (so forgive me if it was 1999 not 2000, but I think it was 2000). I still have the CTS receipt on yellow carbon-copy fan-fold paper 🤩. I bet @iank99 has some stories there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DALX Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Thank you for providing links to legacy equipment, when Philips bought out Selecon, we lost access to a lot of manuals and lighting support articles that were ideal for schools, this trend continued with other brands.😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
