As a side note, FLX shouldn't be connected to the Internet.
Why is this? I have a technical network set up which enables me to talk to both my lighting and sound desks but also lets me receive emails and calls as there is no mobile coverage on the edge of a cliff.

getting better!
Can this all be routed through a general network or does it have to be dedicated?
-
Hi Edward,
thanks for this it's exactly what I'm after.
Can this be used from a laptop should the desk fail?
-
Hi, is it possible to get a third dmx out from the desk to run a third universe?
Thanks, Simon
-
Is the copy from function going to be added to the FLX given the software can achieve it?
-
great thanks.
-
Is there a quick way to select next or previous when flashing through channels?
-
Hi,
I'm using an FLX if that makes a difference.
Cheers, Simon

Hi Edward,
It's not the palette copy that I'm after. What I used to be able to do on an old strand and I think the old Frog would be to copy all attributes from one fixture to another. The copy button on the frog IIRC used to have both channel and playback facility. The Strand desk had a copyfrom button so in syntax would be 58@copyfrom65enter and it would put 65 exactly as 58.
-
When you put selected fixtures in a palette colour it shows that name as the colour which is very helpful as we don't have a copy from function. Only trouble is that it doesn't show the name if a filter is selected. Is there any way this could be made to work?

How do I use the REMDIM via the remote software as I mainly use it whilst focussing?

Hi Jon,
Sorry to hear about your colleague.
I did try the technical support number and it just rang and the night service via the main number wasn't any better.

great thanks.

Well that was fun. An hour and a half before the start of the final dress rehearsal I have to reboot the desk to reset the external monitor as it wasn't behaving itself. I save the show to USB before shutting down. When I re-boot it doesn't find the show and decides that it a fresh show with no patch.
That's ok I thought I'll just load the show from the USB I have been regularly saving the show to but NO it has corrupted that as well and I am left with no show at all!!
A quick look at the support page for Zero88 only to find no reference to out of hours support and no way of getting any help. I try Jon but he is on unavailable until 17th April and he suggests I contact the office if it's urgent!!
Looking at both Strand and ETC they both have 24/7 support. I'm not saying my file could have been repaired but next time I specify a desk for anything this will have a huge impact on my decision.
-
copy the attributes on one fixture to another? (like the @copyfrom on the old strand desks)
REMDIM?
Thanks

We don't generally update manuals every software release, only when there are significant changes. Release Notes are used to document the smaller changes.
The latest FLX manual is ZerOS 7.9.1, and there aren't any major new features for FLX in ZerOS 7.9.2.
ok thanks
-
Do you know when the user manual will catch up with the software release?
-
Hi Kevin,
All working thank you. Even sorted my chases not triggering. I can only assume the raise lower were disabled as I had imported the show from a solution.
Cheers, Simon
-
Ok thanks for that, will have a try next time I'm in.
Cheers Simon

trying to get my head around the flx and not succeeding!
I want to be able to record a scene onto one playback and a different scene onto another and be able to crossfade between them.
Once I have recorded the scenes raising the fader does nothing until I press the button under it and it then snaps to the state. When I drop the fader it doesn't release the cue and so the colours are captured. The next fader does the same thing except it has no effect on the colours until I release the first playback and then that won't work.
Can you tell me what might be wrong as this has to be possible otherwise the desk is a bit useless to a lot of our companies.
-
Hi SimonH,
Can you email me the showfile and I'll take a look and get it working for you.
Jon
Hi Jon
I have created a simple chase as per the instuctions and put the trigger and release on cues in the main stack.
The chase works when triggered on playback 1 but not when running the main cue stack.
File attached.

Hi Rob,
You create the chase on a separate playback, and then use a "macro" to trigger and release it during your cues.
On the cue you want to trigger the chase, go to the "Cue Settings" cell and press Enter. Now choose "Macros", choose "Add" next to trigger, and select the chase. Click OK on both windows.
On the cue you want to release the chase (it might be the next cue, or several cues later), do exactly the same, but choose "Add" next to release instead, and select the same chase.
I've tried this and the chase works but isn't triggered by the macro in the main cue stack.

100% agree it's past the point of needing it now, and I'll get you an updated one tomorrow.

I have started a new topic so it doesn't get lost in the pinned one.
Can we have a date please for the release of the user manual that will actually refer to all the new elements with the new software?
It is a lovely desk and I am enjoying using it but at the moment I wouldn't recommend people buying it as there is so little in the way of reference material to actually work out how to use it.
You wouldn't except this when buying a new TV.

Me too. Can't upgrade to get the new fx as Artnet isn't working.
