Visualisation on capture on iMac

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. 

If you just have a single Ethernet cable linking the console to your iMac, you will have to configure static IPs, not DHCP. DHCP can only be used if there is a DHCP server on the network, such as the one usually part of a wireless router. 

Therefore if using a single Ethernet cable, set static IPs and subnets, such as 10.1.1.1 for the CITP protocol on the console, and 10.1.1.2 for the iMac, both with subnets of 255.255.255.0.

You will then need to restart Capture. You should find if you tap Z/Shift -> System Information -> System Text on FLX S, the console reports that it has found Capture on your iMac and is connected. Tap Network Overview for the console’s status.

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Can you confirm whether you are using the same static IP addresses, for both the Ethernet IP of the iMac and the CITP IP on FLX S24, as the addresses in my previous post...

You don't have to use these addresses, but these should get you up and running.

Hi Sven,

Thank you for the update.

I would recommend using our latest versions of the Capture visualisation files, along with the latest versions of the ZerOS show files. These are available to download along with instructions, from the link below...

I hope this helps, please let me know how you get on.

Have already tried these , but Mac will not open 2021 Z88 or the zipped Z88.bin !?!?

Sven

Thank you for letting me know. After unzipping/extracting the files, you should be able to run one of the downloads as an app. Please let me know how you get on.
