Hi Carwyn, The Leap Frog 48 & 96 offers a simple command line used for intensity control, but not full syntax. You'd need a true syntax console, such as the ORB Series, to do this I'm afraid. Regards,

Hi fensch, and all, It appears that LG might have started using a different touch controller, which is why this isn't working. We are working on updating our Linux Kernel at the moment, which will in turn increase our support for Touch Screens. However, this isn't something that's only going to take a week or two, it's a big job that will need a lot of testing afterwards. Best regards,

Hi Mike, So you would be happy if the Colour Picker controlled the whole bar, and then for individual LED components you would have to use the wheels? Regards,

We've defined this for ORB Series, but we're still discussing how we can implement this on Solution. Would you be happy if the colour picker only affected the whole bar? If not, how could you select just one of the LED components to control?

Thanks for the feedback sfalken. We're already looking into the first suggestion (and I strongly agree with you!) and I will add the second suggestion (about unlocking ZerOS) as a new feature request. Thanks,

Hi Mike, This is something we are working on. It's a BIG change to ZerOS and a MASSIVE change to the fixture library, so it's not going to be quick I'm afraid. Is this on an ORB or on a Solution? Many Thanks,

Hi Webbo, Is the desk running slowly too, or is it just when using it through the remote? Many Thanks,

Hi Keith, If the fixtures are saying 'No DMX Connected' then it's not a patching issue. Even if the patch is wrong (or not patched at all) the fixture will be receiving DMX data, just the 'wrong' DMX data. Which DMX Universe is it patched into? If it's 3 or 4, you have to enable these outputs in SETUP > Desk Setup > Outputs. Otherwise, I would be checking DMX cables, splitters and anything else plugged in between the fixture and the Solution.

Hi, How did you extract the .zip file? Using Windows Explorer or a 3rd party programme such as WinZip? Which version of Windows are you running? Have you definitely downloaded the USB version and not the CD version? Best regards,

Hi Mike, In theory, there is no reason why this shouldn't work - the desk will just see it as a normal USB device. However, is the wireless transmitter powered separately, or from the USB? We're found some devices like this don't operate within the USB specification, and so try and pull too much power from the USB port, causing it to become unstable.

It's more technical than that. When you update the software, you're actually reinstalling the whole underlying operating system. Everything on the console gets wiped and reinstalled, so during this time there is no software to 'manage' the update process. For this reason, we 'install' a kind of operating system onto the memory stick, which the console then boots from. This then manages the installation onto the console. We are looking into ways to do quicker, simpler software update with a single file dragged onto a USB stick.

Thanks for the feedback bullocmg and sfalken. We'll continue testing it in various situations, and then we'll publicly release this.

Thanks STLPAM - we'll look into this. Added to issue ZOS-4661

Hi Guys, Thanks for pointing this out. Please could you try this version of the Remote Monitor software, and see if it works for you with a password set on the console? Many Thanks, ZerOS Remote Monitor 1.1.0.zip

First, load the submaster (using the 'load' button). Secondly, hold down the clear button, and move the parameter wheels to untag those parameters. Keep clear held for a half second and then let go to ensure you don't clear everything else. Thirdly, record the submaster and choose OVERWRITE (merge or update will just update the tagged values and leave the untagged values as they were. Then choose 'Colour' in 'Submaster Controls' within the Submaster Setup window (as per my post above). Repeat these steps for each of the colour submasters C4 means 'Colour Palette 4'. This means that the data is 'referencing' - so the submaster / memory is remembering 'Colour Palette 4' instead of the actual DMX values within the palette. This means you can update the palette, and all your memories and submasters which use that palette will automatically be updated. Hope this helps?

Hi Huber, We've run effects over 8 universes of RGB leds (significantly more than 1000 cells) without any problems. Are you running the latest version of ZerOS? Could you upload your showfile with all 141 fixtures patched? Many Thanks

The other option is 'Highlight' which is SHIFT + HOME, using similar syntax as above - 101 (SHIFT) (HOME). This removes all colour and beamshape info, so the moving light is a white beam. You can then position the moving light where you want, and then turn off Highlight (SHIFT + HOME) again to restore the Colour + Beamshape information. If you want to do this on multiple fixtures, you can use the 'Next' and 'Previous' keys on the Syntax Keys (the 5 blank keys with the LCD above them). If you use 'Highlight' or 'Rem Dim' often, you can set the blank key to perminantly be this option, instead of having to use SHIFT and HOME / FULL. To do this, hold 'SETUP' and press the blank key, and then select 'Highlight' or 'Rem Dim' from the list.

Hi Mike, I'll look into this a bit more when I'm back in the office. There was a bug back when we first released the Windows Remote Monitor where it wouldn't work if there was a password set on the console, however this was fixed.

Here's the fixture personality, with both modes. To use it, save it onto a USB stick, plug it into the console and then patch the fixture in the normal way, but choose 'USB' instead of 'Fixture Library' when selecting the source. Best regards, Chauvet Q Spot 460.ift

Hi JudgeAmyHost, There are a few different ways to do this. You can either start up one or more effects, make the changes to the size / speed / offset / rotation and then re-record this as an additional effect by pressing and holding a spare effect palettes (on the multi-function keys - remember there are the page buttons giving you a total of 400 effect palettes). If you want to create an effect from scratch, open the Effects Palettes Window (SHIFT+EFFECT) and then click the 'Effects Window' button in the top left corner. This allows you to specify specific waveforms to each individual parameter, each with their own size, speed, offset etc. You can 'fan' the offset across multiple fixtures by holding SHIFT whilst moving the wheel. To change the type of fan (Fan First, Fan Middle, Fan Last, Fan V etc) hold SETUP and press EFFECT and then change the 'Shifted Wheel Mode'. Hope this helps,

Hi, I've asked our software team to look into this for you, as I'm seeing the same thing in Non-Tracking mode (works fine in tracking mode). I've recorded it as issue ZOS-5469 Best regards,
