Thanks @kgallen, you've hit the nail on the head with this...

Salut Roamin,
Tous les écrans tactiles qui fonctionnent "plug and play" avec Windows 10, sans avoir besoin de pilote, devraient fonctionner avec les consoles FLX.
Selon le manuel de cet écran tactile, "Aucun pilote logiciel supplémentaire n'est requis.". Cet écran tactile devrait donc fonctionner avec FLX.

Si vous avez des questions dites le moi.

Hi Roamin,
Any touchscreens that work "plug and play" with Windows 10, without needing a driver, should work with FLX consoles.
According to the manual of this touchscreen, "No additional software driver is required.". This touchscreen therefore should work with FLX.

J'ai bien compris, mais "Tagged" veut dire quoi ? Tout ce qui est rouge ?
Les paramètres d'intensité "Tagged", sont indiqués en rouge dans la fenêtre de sortie. Les paramètres LTP balisés (couleur, faisceau, forme, position) ont un fond bleu clair sur l'écran de l'encodeur, plutôt qu'un fond sombre.
"Tagged" intensity parameters, are indicated in red in the Output Window. Tagged LTP parameters (Colour, Beam, Shape, Position), have a light blue background on the encoder display, rather than a dark background.

Et cette otption n'est valable que pour une suite de cues, des séquences, n'est ce pas ?
Vous me écrire vers le manuel en anglais dont le terme "tagged" n'est pas clair pour moi.
Non - vous n'avez pas besoin de sélectionner les appareils pour les inclure dans les cues. Ceci n'est requis que si vous avez choisi l'option "Sélectionnées d'appareils" dans la fenêtre Options d'enregistrement.
No - you do not have to select fixtures to include them in cues. This is only required if you have chosen the "Selected Fixtures" option in the Record Options window.

Si j'ai mes faces d'allumées, mais que je suis en train de régler mes couleurs au sol, je suis obligés de selectionner que mes projecteurs au sol ? non ? Que fait "smart tag" ?<
Désolée ces notions ne son tpas comprend, et j'ai l'impression de perdre mon temps lors de mes programmations.
Je recommanderais de programmer avec SmartTag activé. L'option SmartTag est disponible dans la fenêtre Options d'enregistrement. Si le bouton a une bande rouge, cela signifie qu'il est activé. Lorsque SmartTag est activé, vous n'avez pas besoin de penser au marquage, car la console le fera pour vous, pour s'assurer que les paramètres corrects sont enregistrés dans la mémoire.
Si vous avez des questions, laissez-nous savoir.
I would recommend programming with SmartTag enabled. The SmartTag option is available in the Record Options window. If the button has a red stripe, this means it is enabled. When SmartTag is enabled, you do not need to think about tagging, as the console will do it for you, to ensure the correct parameters are recorded into the cue.
If you have any questions let us know.

Hi Delphine,
12 hours ago, delfine said:I’m sorry but i’m french and I don’t understand exactly what’s mean « tagged » for parameter or fixture.
12 hours ago, delfine said:Is « smart tagged » or « tagged parameter » can help me ?
A "tagged" parameter, will get recorded into a cue. An "untagged" parameter will not.
If you have SmartTag enabled in the Record Options, you will not need to worry about tagging, as the console will automatically tag and untag the required parameters at the point of recording a cue.
With SmartTag disabled, you must ensure that the parameters you wish to record are tagged. Parameters you adjust will be tagged automatically, but you can also manually tag and untag parameters.
The relevant section of the English online manual can be found here...

12 hours ago, delfine said:So i select the fixture 1 and the fixture 2 and
long record, and i chose selected fixture, and tape the playback button.The "Selected Fixtures" option in the Record Options, allows you to record the tagged parameters of only the selected fixtures, rather than the tagged parameters of all fixtures. The relevant section of the English online manual can be found here...

12 hours ago, delfine said:More, if i choose an option record, does it stay live that for all the futur record, for all the playback.
The SmartTag and Tracking options, will not automatically change. Therefore once you have chosen SmartTag/Tracking options, these will stay set until you change them.
The Snapshot and Record Filters options will revert to default after each record. The relevant section of the English online manual can be found here...

Hi Martyn,
4 minutes ago, sparkies said:I was on desktop 3 did as you instructed, but it did not appear on desktop 3 but on desktop 2 instead. then when I tried it again it worked.
After pressing VIEW, the "Screen" syntax key will toggle the selected window between the desktops currently being shown on the physical VGA outputs. Therefore the Screen key may need two presses, to toggle the window to the correct monitor.
Hope this helps,

Hi Ethan,
6 minutes ago, ethan1997may said:For some reason I am no longer able to record macros, whenever I go to record one and hit the key it comes up with "there are no fixture selected"
We are aware of an issue on Solution consoles, where you cannot choose an MFK when recording a Macro. You can however record a Macro directly into the Macros window on the external monitor. To open the Macros window, hold SHIFT and tap MACROS. You can then tap RECORD, and click an empty Macro tile in the Macros window. After typing your button sequence, you can then tap the MACROS button to finish recording.
I hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

To be able to customise fixture Defaults, you will need to ensure that your console has tracking options enabled, and is not in global Cue Only mode. For more information on Global Tracking Options, see the link below...
https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options/tracking#GlobalOptions
You will also need to ensure the SmartTag button in the Record Options is disabled. For more information see the link below...

Hi Martyn,
24 minutes ago, sparkies said:I am trying to populate 'Desktop 3' and nothing I do seems to work. Using Orb-XF 7.9.5
Any ideas, please - step by step.
To open a window onto Desktop 3, firstly view Desktop 3, as pictured in your image. Then open a window, which in most cases is done by holding SHIFT, and then tapping the relevant key. For example SHIFT + COLOUR to open the Colour Window. Then tap the VIEW button, to bring your View controls onto the syntax keys. Then tap the syntax key that says "Screen", until you bring the window into view. You can then use the "Size" buttons to resize the window.

Hi David,
10 hours ago, Davidmk said:I generally set lease time to the maximum available. If there's a down side to this (in the context of a lighting network), then someone please tell me because I haven't found it for myself yet.
Lease time configuration is based on how often new devices are joining and leaving a network. For example, if you are regularly having new devices connecting and disconnecting (such as on a public Wi-Fi network), you'd want the lease time to be less. When a device joins a network, it is given an IP for the duration of the lease. If the device then promptly leaves, you wouldn't want that IP reserved unnecessarily, when it could then be given to another device that joins the network.
If you have a network which basically always has the same devices on it, such as a typical lighting network, the lease time could be as long as you wanted.

Hi DRP,
12 hours ago, DRP said:Is there a simple way that the Master Playback fader can be set up as a master fader
If you would like the Master Playback fader to control the total intensity output of the console, it can be configured as a Grand Master. For more information see the link below...
https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/special-playback-functions
10 hours ago, Davidmk said:You should also be able to set it up as an inhibit master
As @Davidmk mentions, you could create an Inhibit Master, to allow you to scale the intensities of particular fixtures. This can be done by setting all the fixtures that you wish to scale with the Master Playback fader to full. You can then tap RECORD, and tap the Master Playback's button to record the cue. Then, you can go into the playback settings. To do this press and hold SETUP and tap the Master Playback's button. Under the Intensity Mixing option, choose Inhibit and click OK. Now, to be able to output the fixtures you recorded onto the Master Playback, you will need the Master Playback to be raised. It can then be lowered to inhibit the levels. For more information on Inhibit please see the link below...

Hi Just,
Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.
11 minutes ago, just said:just put in version 7.9.9 on my solution board and now have lost the generic dimmers,
To confirm, is this a fresh install of ZerOS 7.9.9 you are using, or have you loaded your show file back into the console following the update?
To confirm the patch of the channel faders, tap SETUP to view the Fixture Schedule. You will see the fixture numbers listed in the first column, which correspond to the channel fader numbers. You'll see the DMX address those channels are controlling on the right-hand side.
Can you confirm your dimmers are receiving DMX, and you are plugged into the correct DMX output on the rear of the console?
If you have any questions let us know.

Hi Ian,
Thanks very much for the update.
13 hours ago, delicolor said:the only thing that I didn’t expect was the DHCP lease set to one minute.
Theoretically, this shouldn't have an effect - if a device is online continuously, as soon as the lease is expired it should be automatically leased the same IP address again.
13 hours ago, delicolor said:So, either a router gremlin,
I think this is what I'd be leaning towards - perhaps the router is struggling with continuously starting new leases. Would you be able to let me know the make and model of the router?
13 hours ago, delicolor said:I then did a factory reset on the router and locked down the SSID, password and admin access. (DHCP had returned to the default figure of 120 minutes). Access was subsequently fine from the apps.
Really glad to hear you solved the problem and can now use the apps correctly.
If you have any questions let me know.

Hi alg,
On 7/23/2021 at 3:51 PM, alg said:Is this simply an annoying hardware/software bug or something else, any ideas? This has never happened before in the 10 years we have had the desk. Could it be the current high temperatures and a chip on the way out? How feasible is it to find a fault like this?
I agree with Ian's comments above - it would be worth monitoring the issue, especially this week now it is cooler, to see if you encounter it again. If you do, drop us an email to support@zero88.com, and we'll be able to advise. If this is a hardware fault, the Jester would likely need to be sent in for service for a decent amount of time, to allow for replicating and then fixing the issue.
Many thanks @iank99 for your thoughts on potential heat or earthing issues.

Hi Rene van Hove,
Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.
11 hours ago, Rene van Hove said:There's also no DMX receive light on my dimmers.
I tested with just one fixture attached directly to the console (no switches or anything, just a short cable) and still no DMX receive light or any output.
The console seems not to output any DMX.
I checked settings, disabled RDM and checked DMX output settings for Universe 1, they all seem fine. Also did another factory reset to be sure, still nothing.
Is this a know issue? How do I fix it?Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the DMX output. We haven't heard of this issue before. To reset the DMX outputs, please tap SETUP -> Universes, and under the DMX option please choose reset to defaults. This will then reset the DMX, mapping Desk Universe 1 to Output 1. If this is a 1 universe FLX S24, resetting the DMX will assign both DMX Outputs to output Desk Universe 1 - do either of these ports output data?
Can you confirm there are definitely fixtures patched and addressed on the Desk Universe mapped to the DMX output you are using? Can you confirm you have tried different DMX cabling and adapters, to ensure there isn't a cable fault?
12 hours ago, Rene van Hove said:I don't really care if my show is too old and can't be used, I'll reprogram it, I do like some DMX output though... 😅
You will still be able to use your old show file from an earlier software version. Would you be able to email us a copy of your show file, for us to take a look to see what may be going on? If so please email it to support@zero88.com
I hope this helps, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Jouper,
14 hours ago, Jouper said:Is it possible to get dmx inputs from another controller like a dmx software and send them to the dmx controll?
Solution consoles do feature a DMX input. DMX input channels can either be assigned to remotely control the intensities of patched fixtures, or to control the levels of programmed playbacks. The DMX input cannot be used as a merge between the console outputs and the incoming data.
Configuring the DMX input to control fixture intensities, is done using the DMX Input column of the Fixture Schedule. Configuring the DMX input to control playbacks is done by tapping SETUP -> Triggers, and adding playbacks under the DMX In option.
I hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Hi Ian,
15 hours ago, delicolor said:I have had infrequent issues with “Desk connection failed” on both my Apple tablet and Android phone recently, both running latest software. Inevitably, on final tech focus, I couldn’t connect at all unless I renewed DHCP on the desk which would allow me in once for a short while. The desk IP always appeared in the app startup screen.
If you brought the Android device and iPad close to the wireless router, could you connect more successfully? If you receive a "Desk Connection Failed" when you click on a console that has appeared, in most cases this means you don't have a strong enough connection for the UI to be streamed, however just enough for the desk pings to come through.
Is there anything else connected to your lighting network, or is it simply the router connected to the console, and then a handful of wireless devices?
15 hours ago, delicolor said:I suspect my wireless router settings as connectivity worked fine via my home hub but it is out of the box other than SSID and password.
For the majority of domestic routers, you shouldn't need to tweak any settings to get the console remote network up and running.

2 hours ago, Petera said:Also can the Remotes be tested in Phantom ?
Remote Switches can be emulated on Solution consoles, and also in Phantom ZerOS running as Solution, using the buttons in the "Panel" desktop on the external monitor. If you view the Panel desktop, you will see six horizontal buttons below the playback flash buttons on the virtual front panel. These are mapped to remote switches 1 to 6. If you use these, does the console trigger your macros/cues correctly?
