[Can Jester control moving lights?]

Hi Matt

 

Your description is correct. Once you have a DMX address set on the fixtures, those faders will control the fixtures parameters corresponding to those channels. For example, if you set the fixture to DMX address 25 and its fixture personality was 1) Colour, 2)Gobo, 3)Pan, 4)Tilt, 5)Dimmer, then the faders would work as follows:

 

25: Colour

26: Gobo

27: Pan

28: Tilt

29: Dimmer

 

I hope this helps,

[Single parameters in Pallets]

Hi Stuart

 

With the latest software, check that you have Beamshape set to <Channel> in the Partial Mode settings - this means you can tag each beamshape attribute individually. In <All> mode, all channels under Beamshape will be tagged together.

 

I hope this helps,

At present you have to plug in an external keyboard to access these functions - we recommend a small USB keyboard such as this one for use with the desk.

[JesterML - move-on-dark and auto-triggers/dwell times]

[Rainbow Par Can's]

Hi Adam

 

Having taken a bit more of a look at the user manual for the fixture, it uses a funny sequence for its channels (Blue, Red, Green) rather than the conventional Red, Green, Blue.

 

Therefore I have attached a modified fixture profile for you to use with this fixture. You can load this into the desks using the Add Fixtures screen in Setup.

 

Kind Regards,

 

 

Peter

 

Moderation: Topic moved to Leap Frog 48 & 96 forum.

[Rainbow Par Can's]

Hi Adam, and welcome to the forum.

 

The Rainbow Pars will patch in as an "RGB Dimmer" which means you will get 4 control wheels on the desk - Red, Green, Blue and Dimmer. These are accessible on the Multi Function Keys, which can also be used for the auto-generated palettes or using the on-screen colour picker.

 

I hope this helps - let us know how you get on with the desk and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

 

Kind Regards,

[Version 5 problems]

Hi Christian

 

You can go back to versions before 5.0.0, however you might come across a problem during the installation. If your desk fails to boot properly after installing, try the following:

 

- Boot the USB Installer and select "Install Desk OS". Just as the message "Installing Bootloader." appears (this comes after "Formatting disk."), switch off the desk.

- Switch the desk on again, and boot the USB Installer a second time. Select "Install Desk OS" again but this time let the install complete fully.

- Switch off the desk, remove the USB memory stick, and switch on again. The desk should boot normally.

 

The root cause of this problem was fixed in version 5.0.0 software, so from version 5.0.0 onwards you don't have to do this to get a bootable desk.

 

I hope this helps,

If you email me the images for the gobos I can get them added.

[ZerOS v 5.1 cant update from v 2.]

Hi metraflex

 

Can you confirm that you converted the ISO file into a CD using "Deep Burner"? We have had some users experience problems using other CD burning packages.

 

Thanks,

[Version 5 problems]

Hi Christian

 

We have a release on its way which will fix the groups bug - this will be another couple of weeks.

 

I'll look into the ELO screen problem.

[Library for VIVID]

Hi Mike

 

How did you get on with trying it? As far as I can tell the profile should work.

[Version 5 problems]

Hi Christian

 

As you can see in this topic, we've already identified the Groups thing - this is in progress of being fixed and we will release a new version soon to fix this one.

 

With regards the label being wrong, again this has been found - reference ZOS-2751.

 

Lastly, can you explain what happens on the ELO screens when you don't see the correct behaviour - does anything happen? Which model of ELO screen are you using?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Peter

[Submaster Chase]

Hi Jon

 

The speed of the chase is stored along with the chase steps - if you go back into Program mode, select a step and set the speed you require, then when you overwrite the step (by pressing the PROGRAM/GO button and selecting <Overwrite>), the chase will output at the speed you have defined.

 

I hope this helps,

 

 

Peter

[One shot chase]

Hi Karl

 

Thanks for the suggestion - we've logged it in our project planning software and it will be considered for a future release. Reference JES-2766.

 

I hope this helps,

[Generics not recording to cues....]

Hi Joe

 

How did you get on? I can't think of anything obvious to check - would be interesting to know whether you got to the bottom of it

[Setting shutter closed on blackout on MH250 fixture library?]

Hi John

 

The only way to do this would be to move the "Shutter" channel into the "Brightness" attributes - this would cause the channel to be sent to 0% when the blackout is engaged. Currently the Jester MLs don't close the shutter when the blackout button is engaged.

 

I hope this helps clear things up,

 

 

Peter

[Command Line]

Thanks for the feedback Kev - i've logged these in our future ideas - reference ZOS-2752 and ZOS-2753.

[Bugs..]

Hi Kev

 

* Double click a position fade time in a cue stack. First encoder say delay (changes both fade and delay time) The 2nd fader says delay..just does fade.

This has been logged as a bug - reference ZOS-2751

 

* Home/highlight doesnt take out effect pallet.

I can't recreate this one - can you give me some more information or a show file I can try?

 

Thanks,

[Highlight - LED]

Hi Kev

 

Thanks for this one - we hadn't spotted it. I've added it to the bug tracking system as reference ZOS-2750.
