  4. What would you like to see in ZerOS?

    depending, of course, on how it is actually implemented

    You connect and “pair” to a Hue Bridge, and then all connected luminaires are automatically patched (just like RigSync). Once complete, you control the fixtures like any other fixtures.

    However, it’s worth noting that you don’t see the same speed and responsiveness that you do with DMX based luminaires.

    I’m allowed to have a few secrets 🙂 

    Vision.Net is the natural progression from our previous iCAN architectural integration - with the benefit that you don’t need additional hardware (so it works on all ZerOS consoles). We’ve had multiple requests from customers and team (especially those across the pond) for this integration.

    KiNet opens a few new doors, especially for ZerOS Server.

    Philips Hue is just fun 😆

    Edward can you tell me where to find "Discrete timings on FLX (apply specific timings to specific parameters)". in online manual ?

    Edward was referring to the 3rd option in the poll - "Discrete timings on FLX (apply specific timings to specific parameters)" - so if this is a feature that you'd like to see, vote for that one 🙂

    Question if I'm using this possibility two Cues with "Auto With" is it possible to use different timing ? 5 sec for one Cue and 15 sec for the other ?

    Yes, they run as two completely independent cues, just at the same time rather than after each other. It's the equivalent of "Part Cues" on other consoles (when I use them, I have my first cue as Cue X, and then use point cues for the Auto-With cues, so Cue X.1, Cue X.2 etc). Just make sure you don't tag the same parameters in both cues (and definitely don't use snapshot!).

    Thanks for your comments! We really do value them.

    different between Up and Down time fades ... for "color changes", "Gobo changes", "shape changes" and on the "positions change"

    Can you detail how you'd want this to work? Intensities are a single parameter either fading "up" and "down", but colour can be multiple parameters that are just "changing". Similar for gobos, positions, etc. If you could go into some detail of what you would like the end result to be, that would be really helpful.

    Fixture Creator will be good on Mac OS ! And I think that will be good for intruduce Mas OS and Zero88. 

    We're hoping to have some news about a fixture builder later in the year.

    Do you think that Mac OS will have capacities for running ZerOS ? This will be good 

    We discuss this every-so-often, and it's certainly not impossible... but we don't have a roadmap for this yet, and I don't foresee it coming soon (and I say this as a Mac user... so I'm invested in this idea!!!).

  13. RDM

    in FLX

    Hi Simon,

    I think the end result will be what you want, but not by the method you expect.

    When RigSync discovers and patches a fixture, the link between the console and that fixture is the RDM UID, not the DMX address. Therefore, if someone messes up all the DMX addresses and then you load your older showfile in, RigSync will make sure that your showfile works by:

    1. Repatching your showfile to match the new addresses
    2. Readdressing any fixtures where this isn’t possible (eg overlaps)

    Also, remember about the “Revert Rig” option. When RigSync discovers your fixtures, it will store the values of those fixtures into the showfile before then making any required changes. So… if your rig is “correct” at the point of RigSync discovery, RigSync will store these settings and patch your fixtures, but not make any changes. If someone messes up all the DMX addresses, you then have the option to load that showfile in and click “Revert Rig” (note – when loading in your showfile, RigSync might automatically make lots of changes to make the rig work, so if you want it back to how it was before, you’ll need to click “Revert Rig” and then reload your showfile)

    can I have some more ‘space’?

    Done 👍

    Forum says I’ve used up all of my attachment space and to use Manage Attachments but when I try that from My Account it says Access Forbidden.

    I didn't even know this was an option! "Regulars" now have access to this.

  16. Tracking with Cue Only

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    I think your general concept is correct - if you start at Cue 1, and program sequentially into a single Cue List - never making any mistakes, updates or inserts - and so long as you always use the programmer (not other Playbacks / UDKs) then the tracking options shouldn’t affect what you see on stage.

    (however, they might affect the data recorded into your cue, which might affect the behaviour / output if you go back and make edits)

    Let's hope you continue to support the Solution for a few years.

    There's certainly no plan to stop support any time soon!

    Some new feature will continue to come to Solution (like Multicell, which we've just launched) whereas other's might not be appropriate or possible... however that's no different to ZerOS today, where FLX and FLX S don't always recieve identical updates.

    The only ZerOS-based console we've been forced to drop support for so far was the FROG 2 back in 2017 (but that was still 13 years after the console launched).

    Thanks so much @davelowe for highlighting this to us so quickly.

    We're really sorry this has happened :(

    think the leak of email addresses needs plugged.

    Just to confirm, the forum has not been "hacked" (I've updated the topic title) and there's absolutely no suggestion that personal details have been leaked.

    Instead, someone (or potentially a robot) signed up and successfully went through validation. They (/it) then started Personal Messaging accounts through the forum... depending on your account settings, you may then have recieve an email to tell you someone had sent you a Personal Message.
