[Trip on betapack 4]

Is it possible to replace the MCB’s on the betspack 4 with rcbo so I can feed the rack with an mcb and any fault will trip just the faulty circuit rather than the entire rack?

being an outdoor venue gives us a little problem with rain!!

thanks

Not something I've had to use but does this page of the manual help? Particularly the section headed "Delay"

Thanks.

I should know this and can’t find in the manual either but can someone please remind me of how to delay either the up or down part of a cue please?

thanks.

Hi Simon,

That is correct - by "start a new show file", make sure you perform a Reset Desk.

Edward

Brilliant thank you. 

[RDM]

Thanks both.

So if I do the following:

use RDM to patch all my fixtures

disconnect from console

start a new show file

reconnect to console and allow to discover all fixtures as set

store this as my base file

after visiting company has left reattach my console with base file loaded and press revert rig.

Will this re-patch my fixtures to how they were?

Hi Simon,

ZerOS will apply your rig configuration to your show file. It will not apply your show file configuration to your rig.

Therefore, if you load in a show file, ZerOS will look at the RDM IDs of the fixtures in the show file, to see whether they match fixtures that are currently connected.

If there is a match, ZerOS will change the modes and addresses in the show file, to match the fixtures in the rig. In this situation it will not automatically change the addresses and modes of your fixtures.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Edward

ok thanks for that Edward. Disappointing as it means if a visiting company comes in and changes the mode and address of each fixture I will have to remap everything to get it up and running again. 

It would be useful to have a similar function to a lot of audio kit in that you can select "update from or to a device"

Morning all,

Just configuring our rig to use RDM and I was just checking that when a show is saved it keeps a record of the RDM ref in relation to the fixture settings? So if I recall a show the fixtures will all be set up correctly?

[Betapack 4]

Hi all, 

could someone give me an idiots guide to using the betapack 4 please? Assuming its still just 6 dmx channels but do you have to change to dimming law if using the hot power and then change back if using the dimmer?

Thanks

[Remdim]

Perfect thanks. 

[Remdim]

Thanks Jon. A bit confused by the “next/previous is holding shift whilst pressing next/previous”

[Remdim]

In remote syntax screen is there a way of using remdim?

is next and prev a thing on flx?

[Connecting 2 Touch monitors to FLX desk]

Will it ever be possible to have the outputs and cue list on separate screens?

[Capture files]

Ok great. TBH it doesn't really affect me as I just want to use the capture software to plot in the daytime! It works well for me that way. I originally thought that once the flx took control the capture control stopped working, it wasn't until I saw the tutorial that I thought there might be an issue and it might help others if I raised it.

Please could you elaborate a little on what fixture info you mean? Do you mean you are finding parameters are not matching in Capture and ZerOS? With the fixture controls open in Capture (pressing the power icon for the selected fixtures), view the Zoom control on Capture, and dial the Zoom encoder on the console. Does it adjust correctly?

No, the controls in capture are not correct and don't control the lights properly.

[Capture files]

Hi Edward, I'm running the latest phantom download for these tests. I had the same experience on the flx yesterday at work.

I've rechecked the patch and all seems ok, so not sure what I was looking at before.

All the controls from the flx work as they should and the outputs look correct, it's the controls within capture that don't correspond or change regardless of light position.

 

If I try to use the focus position in capture as you showed us the lights just point in random directions

This was the result of a single mouse click with the focus tool. You can also see that according to capture the light should be blue even though flx is outputting white.

 

It all returns to normal once phantom/flx is disconnected.

 

 

[Capture files]

I've just loaded the same files onto my old laptop that is running a registered version of capture and the same thing happens. Another strange thing is that if I click the focus in the same place multiple times the light never goes to the same place and the pan tilt details in the capture panel never changes.

[Capture files]

Ok, I've got the correct files loaded now thanks but the focus method doesn't work still and the fixture info doesn't match. This is the same problem I'm having with my show file.

 

[Capture files]

I have downloaded all 3 of the sample projects from both zero88 and capture and non of them work together properly. The channel numbering is all wrong and the focus talk back from capture to flx doe not work the same as Edward showed in the zoom training yesterday!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[Capture files]

Thank you

[Capture files]

Hi, I can't find the sample files that work with the capture demo files. The links on old topics don't work.

 

Thanks.

[Move on dark]

Ok thanks. 

[Move on dark]

Hi, anyone tell me how to change the move on dark times for a cue that’s recorded? I’ve altered the default but it hasn’t changed the existing cues. 
 

thanks, Simon

[zeros 8 Wishlist, add yours]

+1 on the UNDO function especially record for me.

So how do you achieve PARK on a FLX desk?

[Colour]

Hi, a few releases ago you updated the filter picker to include white, are there any plans to do this for amber and lime?
