Hi Steve, Well spotted. This scroll bar has been removed to save space on smaller screens. You can click and drag, or swipe on a touchscreen, to scroll through the Patch Groups. We are aware of an issue on Orb consoles running ZerOS 7.10, related to opening the Fixture Levels window, which can cause a crash. Therefore if you use the Fixture Levels window, and don't have multicell fixtures, then you may wish to stick with ZerOS 7.9.9.5. If you use the Fixture Levels window, and do have multicell fixtures you wish to control, I would be happy to share the latest beta software with you, that fixes the Fixture Levels issue. Please drop me an email if you would like access to the beta. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Edward

No problem at all. If you'd like to go in depth, please see the "Controlling & Programming Fixtures" webinar below... Edward

Hi @droiddk That is correct - in this situation you would want to ensure your effect playback also includes position information, to allow you to see more than 50% of the effect. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi @droiddk Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Thank you for your description. I have just had a play with our demo Capture file, and this seems to be working as expected. Effects are waveforms, that "run around" the current parameter value, which is used as a midpoint. Therefore when running an effect over a parameter that is at full (or at 0), half of the effect is not visible, and you will only see the half of the effect which is below full (or above 0). In my show file, I find I need to raise the playback to 30%, to show the effect slowly start. Whereas with the fixtures defaulting with 50% Pan and Tilt, I can see the effect start to run when my playback is at 15%. I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi @pb_blue Thanks very much for the update. Pleased to hear it. Edward

Dear All, ZerOS Library 3.0 has now been released. This is available for ZerOS consoles running ZerOS 7.10 software and later. This release contains 27,914 fixtures. ZerOS Library 3.0, along with further information, can be downloaded from the Library page below... https://zero88.com/library For installation instructions, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/zeros-library Legacy Consoles If your console cannot run ZerOS 7.10 software or later, individual fixture files that you require can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/ Additional Fixtures If the fixture you wish to control is missing from the latest library, see the link below... https://zero88.com/library#support If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Sven, I have replied to your email. ZerOS is working correctly in this scenario, as it ensures the most recent MIDI cue in a playback is triggered, upon receiving timecode. I have provided details in my email, on how you can use this as a way for playbacks to release themselves when not required. (In case it is useful, on OrbXF you can hold SHIFT and tap RELEASE, to release all playbacks). If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi Sven, Sorry to hear you have had difficulty using MIDI with your OrbXF. Thank you for emailing support@zero88.com, and providing your show file. I will download Timelord and take a look. If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi @Dodoooh Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. I am not familiar with Mix16Pro, however it looks like this app can only output a single universe of Art-Net. It doesn’t look like it can receive Art-Net to control it. Theoretically, you would be able to see MixPro16 over your Art-Net network from your FLX S24, in the Devices tab of Setup. You won’t however be able to control it. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Dan, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. As @kgallen states, there’s no shut down procedure on FLX consoles, just flick the power switch when you’re done. Only thing to mention is that changes made in Setup are not automatically saved until you exit Setup. So if you make changes in Setup and then switch off the console, the changes will not have been saved. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi @Jouper The Solution SMPTE/MIDI/Remote/CAN PCB upgrade card is no longer available. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Jouper, It is possible to output sACN from Solution. It is not possible to use the Solution as an sACN to DMX gateway, as Solution cannot receive and then convert the sACN data back to DMX. May I ask what you would like to achieve with the PC processing? It would certainly be possible to send sACN data to a dedicated sACN to DMX gateway, and a PC, simultaneously over a network. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Jouper, This blanking plate was fitted on Solution consoles in place of an XLR desk light port. Edward

Hi All, As mentioned, Zero 88 is 50 this year. We have published our refreshed History page, including some key landmark dates and interesting facts... https://zero88.com/history Edward

Dear All, Throughout February and March, we have various 1-hour online training sessions, covering different FLX range lighting console topics. Follow along with your console, Phantom ZerOS, or just watch, with plenty of time to ask questions, to make sure you get the most out of the sessions with the Zero 88 training team. These sessions will cover FLX S24, FLX S48, FLX and ZerOS Server, but will also be applicable to other Zero 88 consoles running the ZerOS operating system. For a list of sessions, dates & times, and also to register, head to the training page below… https://zero88.com/training#eventdates If you have any questions, as always just let us know. Edward

Hi @Kauz Thanks very much for taking the time to create a mock-up. This is really interesting. I'm not familiar with any of the old ADB consoles! Edward

Salut @delfine J'ai jeté un coup d'œil au site Web d'Iiyama et rien n'indique que ce moniteur ne serait pas compatible avec ZerOS... https://iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-t2453mts-b1/ Selon les informations du pilote, il est "plug & play" avec Windows 10 et devrait donc fonctionner avec ZerOS. Si vous connectez l'écran tactile à un PC Windows, l'écran tactile fonctionne-t-il correctement ? Pendant l'étalonnage, arrivez-vous à dessiner correctement sur l'écran ? Si vous avez des questions, s'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir. Hi @delfine I have taken a look at the Iiyama website, and there's nothing to suggest that this monitor wouldn't be compatible with ZerOS... https://iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-t2453mts-b1/ According to the driver information, it is "plug & play" with Windows 10, and so should work with ZerOS. If you connect the touchscreen to a Windows PC, does the touchscreen function correctly? During calibration, are you able to draw on the screen correctly? If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Kevin, If you are changing which parameters you are including in a Beam palette, rather than updating existing parameters, you may be best to use RECORD -> Overwrite, rather than Update.... which is basically a slightly quicker way of doing what you have already done - deleting them and starting again! Edward

Hi Mac, If you drop us an email to fixturesupport@zero88.com, with a link to the Arena website, we will take a look. That is exactly right, assuming that Resolume Arena can be controlled like most media servers. Edward

Hi Kevin, Sorry to hear you are still having difficulty with the online manual. We are aware the search results need improvement. I have passed your comments onto our marketing team, who manage the website platform, for us to see what we can do. For completeness, link here... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/updating-cues/update-options#remove If you're still hazy on Remove, please let me know. To access the PDF version and use your browser's page search, see here... https://zero88.com/storage/downloads/manuals/zeros-en.pdf Increasing the sensitivity, will reduce the amount you need to adjust the encoder. This therefore also affects the acceleration detection. If you wish, you can use the Coarse or Fine option as an attribute's shifted encoder function, rather than fanning options. You could then increase the global sensitivity to reduce the number of spins required, but then hold shift and dial the encoder for a parameter when you need fine control. More information here... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/controlling-fixtures/attribute-settings If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi Kevin, Thanks for outlining this process clearly for the benefit of others (and your future self!). More information here... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/palettes/advanced-palettes Hope this helps, Edward

Salut Delfine, Toutes nos excuses pour notre retard de réponse. Apologies for our delay replying. Pour cette fonctionnalité, je recommanderais d'utiliser "Inhibit". Cela vous donnera le plus grand contrôle, vous permettant de réduire les intensités enregistrées si nécessaire. For this functionality, I would recommend using "Inhibit". This will give you the greatest control, allowing you to scale back recorded intensities if required. Désolé d'apprendre que vous avez rencontré ce problème. Ceci est enregistré sous le numéro de référence ZOS-9407 sur notre système. J'ai élevé la priorité de cela. Le problème n'est pas présent lorsque la fenêtre Enregistrer et mettre à jour est définie sur « Affichage externe ». Les options de mise à jour sont également accessibles lorsqu'elles sont maintenues lors de l'utilisation de cette option. Sorry to hear you encountered this issue. This is logged as reference number ZOS-9407 on our system. I have raised the priority of this. The issue is not present, when the Record & Update window is set to "External Display". The Update options can be also be accessed when held when using this option. Nous sommes conscients d'un problème lié à la modification de la fonction Fader de lecture d'une pile de repères. Ce problème est enregistré sous le numéro de référence ZOS-8363. Après avoir modifié la fonction de fader d'une lecture, vous devrez la copier ou la déplacer vers une lecture vide. La lecture collée/déplacée utilisera alors la fonction Fader définie. We are aware of an issue related to changing a cue stack playback's Fader Function. This issue is logged as reference number ZOS-8363. After changing a playback's fader function, you will need to copy it or move it to an empty playback. The pasted/moved playback will then use the set Fader Function. Si vous avez des questions, s'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi @kgallen & @Davidmk Thanks very much for the suggestion. We would like to bring fixture copy to FLX. This would essentially allow you to say "copy fixture 1's information to fixture 2", even if the fixtures are different types. The console would then try and apply all parameter values of the first fixture to the next. You could potentially go down to attribute level, or even parameter level, saying "copy fixture 1's colour information to fixture 2". This is the workaround I would also use in the meantime. Edward

Hi @keredyelesob Thanks very much for the suggestion. Logged as reference number ZOS-10901. Edward

Hi Kauz, Thank you very much for taking the time to post your suggestions. Apologies for our delayed reply. In response to some of your thoughts... Currently, ZerOS will apply Red, Green, Blue and White LEDs to the colour mixing tools. In the next software update, Amber will also be applied to the colour mixing tools. Amber parameters in both library fixtures and custom fixture files will be used. If you wish to undo intensity changes made using the intensity wheel or syntax, you will be able to backspace through your commands. We would like to introduce the ability to export to the ASCII format. Thanks very much for your thoughts and explanation on multi-user requirements. This is certainly a potential future feature. Thank you for the feedback. For this particular scenario, you could use the Fixture Editor to create yourself a single channel fixture, with an inverted intensity parameter. This is interesting, I'm not sure I have come across this before. Do to you know which 90s console this may have been? The Master Playback fader and Go button are available in the Playbacks page of the ZerOS Remote app. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward
