Recording groups
You can create your own groups of fixtures, eg Blinders,
FOH movers, PARs on LX3 etc. Simply select the fixtures
that you wish to be in the group using either the channel
buttons or syntax, ensure you are viewing the groups
window, and then press Record followed by touching an
empty group This records whichever group you touch on
the touch screen.
If the selected fixtures have a tagged intensity value (red
value in the Output Window), this will also get stored within
the group. If there is no tagged intensity value, those
channels will get stored at 100%.
Only fixtures that are currently selected will be recorded
into the group, even if other fixtures have intensity values.
As well as the selection and the intensities, groups record
the order the fixtures were selected in. This is useful when
offsetting effects across selections of fixtures.
When groups are recorded, they will be automatically given
a name, based on what’s been recorded into them. This
name can be easily changed (see “naming groups”).
Using groups
Using the built in touch screen, you can select and
deselect groups directly just by touching them.
Touching multiple groups will select all of those groups.
FLX S will keep adding to the selection until another
command is entered (like changing the intensity, or
selecting a palette). After that, those channels will remain
selected until you press on another group, which will start
the selection again. The previous channels being
deselected can be avoided by typing “and” first, and then
selecting another group.
Intensity Groups can be recalled by double-tapping a
group on the touch screen. This also selects the fixtures
within that group. If all fixtures are already at the Intensity
Group levels, double-tapping the group will turn the
intensities off (0%).
Groups window with various fixtures current selected highlighted in blue
Referencing intensities
When a fixture is taken to its full intensity stored within a
group (using any of the previous methods), ZerOS
references the recorded value back to the group’s
intensity, so if the group is updated, the cues will
automatically be updated to the new intensity too.
Naming groups
Groups can be named by holding Setup and pressing the
Group on the touchscreen. An onscreen keyboard will
then be displayed to type the group’s name. Press OK to
confirm.
Updating groups
To update a group, make the new selection of fixtures, and
then press Update followed by touching the specific
group .This updates whichever group you touch on the
touch screen.
Updating a group will update the contents of that group,
but will not alter the name of the group.
Deleting Groups
To delete a group, press Delete followed by touching the
specific group .
The desk will ask you to confirm this action before the
command is executed. Once deleted, a group cannot be
recovered but can be recreated manually if required.
