Then put a label on the fixtures. identifying the model number and dmx channel version.

We have installed 5 of these Dell P2418HT 24" touch screen monitors with FLXS48 but just out of you price range in UK, Might find a better price locally. We are waiting for them to come back into stock, might be August this year.

Barndoors are very useful for any backlight Ovation F 3.25" Barndoor , rotate the barndoor so the wide flap is at the top. Although the other 3 flaps are not used, it helps stop most of the audience being distracted with the light source.

It is more reliable to run non RDM fixtures from the XLR3 socket on the FLXS48 if you are only using one universe as the DMX receive timing of some equipment cannot handle RDM. Jon Hole mentioned in a post on 24 November 2017

We have been using the Dell P2418HT touch screen monitor with the FLXS48 but there is no stock available in Australia for at least a few months. Is there an alternative? I have tried my HP Pavilion 23tm and the touch screen does not work, plus an acer that did not work.

I have found that occasionally when I take a USB drive from my FLXS24 and put it into the PC to update files, windows has to repair the USB drive. I have not noticed a cause yet as it does not happen very often.

Are your fixtures set to retain current state if loss of DMX occurs ? I have had desks lock up on occasions, I unplug the DMX out cable, restart the desk, go back to the current cue, plug in the DMX cable and the patrons are not aware of the lockup. Does not work at venues where loss of DMX results in a blackout !

What addresses are the fixtures set to ? There is a topic that recommends patching fixtures above DMX250 if there is timing issues.

To get a list or printout of the channels of a fixture file I have been viewing the file in the fixture editor then I use the Microsoft Snipping Tool to save it so it can be printed out.

DMX512 is a serial protocol that has to be connected in a daisy chain, so as kgallen says you go from the 5 pin or 3 pin output of your FLXS24 to the first light dmx in, then from the dmx out connect a cable to the next lights dmx in etc. When you first use the FLXS24 it will have RigSync enabled , which is Zero88's name for Remote Device Management. Rigsync will search for any fixtures that have RDM capability, the COLORado Batten Q15 has RDM so the FLXS24 should be able to automatically patch the fixtures onto channel faders. Zero88 RDM RDM and DMX video. RigSync does not always work, I have Huayinlight HY-P186S 6in1 led par's that have non compliant RDM so it does not work with them. Your COLORado Batten Q15 is a pixel batten, that is you can control each of the 15 LED's individually if the lighting controller can support pixel control, but the ZerOS operating system will not be able to until the next version. The common work around for this is to patch in 15 separate fixtures. I do not see the COLORado Batten Q15 in the current library so you would have to request a fixture file be made up for the Batten Q15. In the Batten Q15 manual, there is a Mode chart on page 19. If you set the Batten Q15 to 1 Simple (4 Channels) RGBW you can patch the Batten Q15 as Generic LED-RGBW to get it working.

Thank you for providing links to legacy equipment, when Philips bought out Selecon, we lost access to a lot of manuals and lighting support articles that were ideal for schools, this trend continued with other brands.😦

There is a ZerOS Troubleshooting section in the online manual https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting which mentions the ZerOS Startup Tool https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/zeros-startup-tool which tells you to Plug in a USB keyboard, and turn your console on. Immediately keep tapping the F1 key. I had to use this once and it worked, Edward told me about it.

You could play back the old cue stack in PhantomZerOS so you can see what is in the cue you want to copy and record it into your current show. Not sure where you would find earlier versions of PhantomZerOS to load in shows from earlier version show files.

This was in a post November last year, useful to have RDM and Non RDM outputs. FLX S has two outputs - a 3pin and a 5pin. If you have a 1 Universe FLX S, by default both ports will output the same DMX data, but the 5pin will include RDM and the 3pin won't include RDM. This behavior can be changed in SETUP > Inputs & Outputs.

I am trying to make up a list of Lee Mood Boards that are on the FLX S as a cross reference sorted by gel numbers and gel name. I have managed to get a spread sheet sorted, but next step is to add swatch colours. Here is results so far. It shows the use of colours in different moods.

Hello Edward Some of my LED Zoom Washes go from Spot to Wide for DMX 000 to 255, the others go from Wide to Spot. My preference is Spot to Wide so it is easier to see the beam position on a stage. The fixture file for my 7x12w RGBW 4in1 LED Moving Head has the Zoom selected in Special, but there is no Invert Zoom option showing in Add Fixtures or when using the Fixture. There is Pan/Tilt Invert options available in Add Fixtures. Is it possible to have a Zoom Invert function available without having two different fixture files for the Zoom Wash which has 10 CH and 15 CH DMX modes.

Hello Edward I am working my way through the ALL_UNBRANDED.ift and I opened up an Image Manager. Is this a stand alone program that I can use to add gobo pictures to my moving head profiles? Thanks Don

This has not worked with the console. Tried a while back and it did not work but did not follow up on it, used another touch screen monitor at the time. Input devices only lists USB keyboard, USB mouse, FT5406 memory based driver. Does not appear to be compatible with FLX S. I have emailed you the Input Devices picture.

I am using a FLX S48 with an acer T232HL 10 point touch screen monitor, display is fine, but touch screen does not work. When I go to Setup>External Display>Calibrate I get the orange cross in the top left hand corner but there is no touch response from anywhere on the screen. I tried different usb cables and both FLX S48 usb ports. I tested the acer monitor with my Asus touch screen laptop and the touch screen functions work with that. Any suggestions ? Forgot to add that other touch screens work with the FLX S48 desk.

how do you set up a dmx controlled relay pack to switch on at power up- please.

Is it the location information of where a colour swatch is located is stored in a show, not the colour, so if you change the colour in a colour swatch location, all of your cues containing that colour will update ?

Is the colour selected for a fixture in a cue recorded as data so I can go back to a scene and see what colour I used so I can use it for another cue ? I find Mood Boards easy to select colours, but at present I write down what colours I used for a fixture in a scene as I tend to use the same range of colours through a musical.

You can use shift for Pause Playback, is there an option for Back ? or do you have to use the jump to function in cue playback.

Thanks Edward, I will recommend r1 at end of all show names.

I saved a show as morley dance sept 2020 . When trying different functions on the desk, to become more familiar with it, , I used the Z/Shift Save Show several times to see how the version numbering occurs. In this case it saved the show as morley dance sept 2021 , then morley dance sept 2022 , then morley dance sept 2023. This is an inconvenient way to show the different versions of the show, as next year I might do a dance show at morley which I would name as morley dance 2021 and find myself being asked do I want to overwrite an existing file. What is the numbering format for saved shows, I thought it might append a number at the end of the show file name. morley dance sept 2023.isf morley dance sept 2020.isf
