Hi David. Take a look at the latest global fixture - in mine I see Chauvet COLORband Tri - should be what you're looking for Regards Mike

Hi there. I occasionally provide lighting to small events where a 12/24 or maybe a 24/48 console would be an appropriate physical size. I already have a Soulution XL for bigger events but would like a smaller console which has the functionality to turn the B preset into a submaster. DMX patching and being able to 'flash' these submasters would be a benefit too. It doesn't have to have ML capability but I guess looking forward, that functionality would probably be useful in the long term. Do zero88 have any current thoughts on this? Having searched the web, I know it is possible with another manufacturer but would like to stick with the quality of Zero88 kit. The reason I ask is that I'll have a couple of schools productions coming up and already have a variety show and a play in the diary - I could use such a console for each of these events Such a console would be popular with smaller venues, including village halls, community and small drama groups. Regards Mike Ahem - oops. I see the Jester can do the things I'm looking for...

Hi If I read your posts correctly, the default values for RGBW on the fixture you are using need to be set to 0 instead of 100 - what fixture are you using profile? This profile can then be checked and a adapted for you if that helps. Regards Mike

Hi CBMatt, I've had a go at a fixture profile for you but am not too sure about the "dimmer fine" channel. I believe it should work Ok but maybe someone could take a look and correct the file as needed? Regards Mike ClayPaky_SharpyWash.ift

Perovic, The file is comprehensive and contains 280 Robe fixtures. I have looked at the ift file and can confirm it contains the Robe CSpot 575 AT and Robe CWash 575 AT, both fixture types for all 4 modes. It sounds like you can only see the fixtures already on the desk. To add the ones you want, you need to go to the "Assign Fixtures" section of "desk Setup". Click the down arrow so the "<" are flashing then click the "-" button until "Select Fixture from Floppy Disk" appears. You will then see a long list for all the manufacturers in the ift file. Find and select Robe then locate the fixtures you need. Hope that helps. Regards Mike

Perovic, Take a look at http://zero88.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/581/ where you will see the latest comprehensive fixture library release. For a Bullfrog you will need to select the link for "Jester Series, Frog Series, Illusion 500, Diablo, Sirius 250/500" where you will find the download link for the fixture (ift) file. It is probably compressed, so uncompress it to a floppy disk and you should be Ok. Regards Mike

Hi Jon, Sounds good to me. Regards Mike

I normally use 4/6 dmx channel battens as a wash light or to chase which work fine with the colour picker but have recently bought a couple of battens that control individual LEDs. My thoughts at the moment are that I would like to retain individual manual control of each LED for something like a chase - I've managed to run two separate colour chases simultaneously with help from the forum, but if I want a colour wash with a whole bar then I'd like to be able to use the colour picker. Regards Mike

Hi Jon. It's for a Solution XL Regards Mike

Hi Fensch I'm in exactly the same situation with my Benq Touch screen - it only appears as a USB device. The info you've supplied will (hopefully) give Jon and the software team what they need to check/add the associated driver to include into a software release - maybe a beta? Jon: Any ideas on timescales to add the drivers for this and my (ZOS-5441) touchscreens? Regards Mike

Hi there. I have a Lanta Meteor Fireball Batten running with 26 DMX channels. The batten works Ok when changing individual colours and I've created chases Ok, but would like to use the colour picker against all the LEDs - is this possible? Regards Mike

Hi all. I've just had a play with some LED battens that have eight channels of R, G and also B. I also wanted to mix colours via Submasters on the fly and have found, after a change to the desk setup, I can... The above is pretty much there but I think one step is missing... Select Setup then Desk Setup and then Behaviour. My desk was set to Keep Colour Parameters Separate = "No". I've changed this to "Yes". For R, G and B I've then... Selected Fixtures Select Colour (RG and B will all probably be highlighted) Select Clear and Colour together Set Colour (and include brightness if needed) - only changed colour settings will now be highlighted Select Update and Ok the update of the Submaster In Submaster view; Check the Submaster is set for "Colour" in Submaster Control Check Flash Button Action is "Flash" if you want to manually flash the Submaster. Also set Fade Up and Fade Down to "0". I can now bring each colour to any intensity via Submasters. Hope this helps Mike

Fensch, To help things along; If you open the System Information window (listed under 'Other Windows' in the Output Window) the touch screen should be listed as a USB device. If you can copy the UID/PID and any other info seen from there, it may help track down what driver/kernel version is needed to support the Touch Screen. Could you also go to SETUP> Desk Setup > Peripherals. There's a button called "Input Capture". If you go into this screen, select the touchscreen from the drop down list, and then move your finger around the screen, and capture all the data that the monitor is sending through the USB port. This will help determine why your monitor isn't working. Ideally, move your finger right to the edges, and into the corners, to capture as much information as possible. Regards Mike

Hi Webbo So to clarify; There's no movement/colour/brightness seen when the either type of unit is connected and patched to the Solution? Do you have fixture personalities for both units? Can you confirm DMX channels and their use as I can't seem to find an online manual for the ST0701. How many DMX channels are you set for on the HeadBanger 10 - 7 or 12? With a 7 DMX channel setting on the HeadBanger, channel 3 uses 0-200 as Dimmer and 201-255 as Strobe so some greater knowledge for this personality may be needed... Regards Mike

Quick question... Does the ZerOS support keyboards and mice connected via a single wireless USB adapter? Regards Mike

Hi Jon Initially I saw an entry for my console when the password was set which disappeared when I enabled the password on the console. I restarted the remote PC software and then saw the console with the indication of a password. When I clicked to connect I was presented with the option to enter the console password and, hey-presto, I was logged on to the console Ok. Many thanks for you help. Regards Mike

Thank you for the link - I'll print a copy of the manual for some light reading over the weekend. It's not a major problem as I can remove the desk password and connect with the PC monitor software, but is there somewhere on the PC software that I'm supposed to enter the password if one is set on the desk? Regards Mike

Hi Franck I have the latest stable release on the desk and have successfully used the ipad app as a remote. I was looking to use the PC remote monitor software as a second monitor for the desk. My first attempt to connect from the software to the desk raised the question about the PC software and the desk password as I can connect Ok when I remove the password from the desk setup but can't connect when a password is set on the desk as I can't see how to set a password on the PC monitor software. My second question was slightly more general, once I display a second monitor on the either the ipad app or monitor software, I can't seem to show anything on it - colour palette, memory, submasters, etc, so wondered what I am doing wrong. Regards Mike

Hi there. I see in the Solution datasheet that "Upto 4 additional monitors available via Ethernet remote". Can you point me to a document that shows how to get the monitor software running as a second/additional monitor on the Solution desk as I only seem to be able to replicate the main monitor with the software. Also, how do you set the password for the desk in the monitor software? I see; 22:27:40 - Status changed to Connecting - () 22:27:40 - Connecting to 192.168.2.76, 8811 22:27:40 - Connect... 22:27:40 - Connecting. 22:27:40 - CRemoteDisplay::OnConnect(0) 22:27:40 - NETWORKREMOTE_CONNECTDISPLAYRESPONSE_CODE_PASSWORDINVALID 22:27:40 - Status changed to Password Invalid - () Many thanks Mike

Jon, The font was a tad small but I believe the desk is seeing the touchscreen as there was any entry; 0EEF:0001 - 'eGalax Inc','USB TouchController','' Picture attached. Regards Mike

Jon, Going to head to theatre soon so will report back later. BTW, I've found this link http://home.eeti.com.tw/LinuxDriverDownload.html for linux drivers. Regards Mike

Hi Jon, I haven't seen the desk freeze with the beta build but then I haven't left 7.6.22 loaded on the desk longer than I was testing it. I tried to video the start-up today and the desk booted Ok. I can't see it's related but from what I've seen, other staff are switching the desk off at the mains plug and not on the back of the desk - our previous desk was a bullfrog that didn't have a console power switch. I'll try to pop back to the theatre and play again when I finish here at work. Regards Mike
