I have been searching the zero88 site and manuals and this forum for more than an hour now, but couldn't find any exact answers on this.

I have a Solution and tried saving a show and then loading it on a Leapfrog48.  The Leapfrog crashed and had to be rebooted.

Is there a way of saving a show on the solution that makes it compatible with a leapfrog?  And vice versa?

Thanks

Simon

Settings are as shown, and I've tried variations of tagged vs selected fixtures. 

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? I don't think any other option for the yellow D applies.

Simon.

In my other venue I have some qtx SL-H7 LED floods which I would like to to run from the Solution. They do not appear to exist in the fixture library within ZerOS 7.14.4  Does anyone know of an alternative fixture whose details I could use? 

Thank you

I don't doubt that not so many months ago Edward or Jon would have been on with a solution. Alas we seem to have been hung out to dry these days.

We turned off the power, waited and then restarted it and it seemed stable for the show.It is running ZerOS 7.9.4.

It stays in a control room and is not moved around between venues/spaces, although it can be quite cold overnight.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Our Panto baddie always has his own colour but it changes from year to year. I saved a new palette "Baddie Green", then a few options to choose from (nos 31-34) , using Lee filters, see photos.

If I use palettes 31-34 I get consistent colour on all lights, but I'd have to update each cue if I want to change it.

If I <update> Baddie_green with the selected colour, then apply it to my lights, I get different dmx values output to different lights. On the photo 1, the six lights start at dmx 151 and the 1st intensity values are set to 10, 20, 30 etc. In that test the 3rd light gets different values.

I can reproduce this when I use any of the renamed colour palettes e.g Undersea_blue. In that case in photo2, lights 1-3 get 120-255-0-43 and lights 4-6 get 120-212-0-43.

I noticed this as I've been programming the show, where one light was wrong. When I corrected it, all seemed fine for a while then it reverted to the error.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

My master playback cues is changing the colour of some LED PARS and Fresnels. With Tracking enabled these are all selected, just selecting colour, the moving heads are NOT selected, and yet the moving heads are shown in the program window for this cue.

For example, PB6 move the MH to say Pan 56, Tilt 54, when a master PB is run it moves the head back to 50, 50.

I am running 7.14.2 SW.

I should be grateful if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong or conversely what I need to do to achieve my aim.

Many thanks for any help in this annoying problem that I have, Brett

The zeros manual uses syntax to effect these changes but I can't get my Solution to do the same. Having pressed copy-to, how do I get it into Group mode to pick source & target. (I'm sure I've done this before, but I see the last Solution manual says the Copy button is just for Cues).

Similarly, I want to delete multiple groups in one operation but same problem arises. 

I know some keyboard shortcut work on Solution - is there a list of which ones?

Simon

Anything I need to worry about?

Simon.

The only option was to restart. After that two playbacks on Page 20 had 100%, but I put them down and could continue.

Can someone help, what was the problem? The file with the report is attached.

Thanks!

I'm an enthusiastic amateur that programmes school productions on a Solution desk. I'm basically self taught and fairly proficient but there's one thing I can't work out which I suspect should be possible.

So at the moment, recording something to a submaster works the same as recording a memory cue. It records the entire lighting state for all fixtures.

There must surely be a way to record only particular fixtures? So essentially bringing up a submaster will trigger only the chase or change in the ones you want, which layer on top of whatever is already set on stage via a cue.

For example, a disco type chase which can be added to any scene. Or a pair of spotlights that are needed frequently.

As it stands, if I save something as a submaster I need to build it on top of whatever scene I'm using it in. In the show we're doing we need some stuff to flash at different points. It would be great to have a single flash that I can keep using rather than one for each background scene I'm using it in.

Hope that makes sense. Can anyone offer some tips?

I'm using zerOS 7.9.2.

Thanks for help!

I try to update to 7.14.2 and the popup window software update says : "reading segment 88" but nothing happens...

What to do ? waiting ? switching off and reboot ?

Having a look at the "outputs window" while running a chase, i can see that the "colour attribut" remains the same in every step .

i expected that : (ParLed1 step1 intensity 100% / colour 100%) then (ParLed2 step 2 intensity 100% / colour 100%) (and ParLed1 step 1 intensity 0% / colour 0%) ...

but i see that : (ParLed1 step1 intensity 100% / colour 100%) then (ParLed2 step 2 intensity 100% / colour 100%) (and ParLed 1 step1 intensity 0% / colour 100%)...

It's annoying cause if i run the chase (even if LTP) and at the same time a submaster memory with the same fixtures involved but with a  different colour, i get a mix of the colours and not an override...

To be more precise, a submaster with 4 ParLed White, then i run a chase with the same ParLed but in blue, i get full white then mixed colour during all steps of the chase (W1/W2/W3/W4 then mixW1B1/W2/W3/W4 then mixW1/B1/mixW2/B2/W3/W3 until the last step... The blue colour of the chase is staying in backgroud... Instead of having B1/W2/W3/W4 then W1/B2/W3/W4 until the last step..

What am i doing wrong ?

I would like to know why the last step of a chase is not reacting like the other ones :

I've created a chase with 4 Par Led and i wonder why, when the chase is running,  the last step is not fading out before to loop to the first step ( crossfade is working well between steps 1, 2, 3) ?

I've built this 4 channel DMX relay pack to switch on/off ancillary on-stage lights & effects which may be damaged by a dimmer output.  The unit activates with a DMX signal of 128-255.  What's the best way to patch this on my desk?

Background: My installation uses a rack of Chilli dimmers for the 15a lighting bar channels plus some Chilli relays (controlling a 13a socket at the end of each bar). As novices the relays channels were patched with "dimmer" profile to faders, but later, on advice, the same faders were re-patched using "video 1ch" profile which is switched via the Beam On/Off.  The fader is therefore redundant. Inspecting the Dmx output, the Beam On outputs a DMX value 127, ie not enough to activate the new relays (although apparently sufficient to activate the Chilli relays).

When I tried patching the new relays:

a) The desk wouldn't let me patch to a fixture channel above 48 so the pack will fill 4 more faders which they don't really need.

b) When I patched as "video 1ch", the Dmx output value at Beam On was 11. (Further, if I select a mix of Chilli relay channels and the new relays the output value is 11; it's only 127 when activating Chillis alone). 

I'd really like to move all the relays off the faders and patch as fixtures so I can switch with Beam On/Off.  I'd also need to set the Dmx output value above 127 when activated.

Thanks

Simon.

We recently started to use a Solution XL in our (amateur) theatre, and I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the colours indicating current cue (dark green atm) and next cue (yellow atm)?

For me it's kind of confusing, and I end up thinking the yellow one must be the current one because it is brighter. I'm aware that I will get used to it when I work with it for a long time, but we always have different (and new) groups performing in our theatre, so I think all new people will be confused by these colours. So I'd rather change them to something more intuitive. Is that possible?

I also have some other questions: can I just post them in this thread (and change the title to something more general), or should I rather open a new thread for each question? (there will be several, as the desk doesn't seem to work properly in some cases, and also the manual isn't up to date anymore)

The problem is that when I now enable Tracking the playback config changes and the Parcan is no longer being instructed to change the colour, etc

Using the Program Window here is a picture before the Tracking change to Enabled:

and here it is after Tracking is enabled

The setting of Red has permanently disappeared.

I am running SW version 7.14 and does exactly the same thing on the actual Desk or on Phantom which I used to capture these pictures

Many thanks, Brett
