Assigning Fixtures
The JesterML has a comprehensive built-in library of over 1700 different fixture types
from 125 manufacturers. This library is regularly added to and updates are available
from the Zero 88 website. If the fixture you want to use cannot be found on the desk,
you can create the personality information for it using the Fixture Type Editor utility
supplied on the CD with the desk (a Windows® PC and a USB Memory Stick are
required). This is also available from the Zero 88 website, together with a support
forum where you may find another user has already created the fixture personality
information you need and uploaded it.
1. To assign your fixtures, you must first enter Setup. To do this, hold down SHIFT
and press the MODE button for 1 second. Once in Setup, use the cursor
buttons to navigate to <Assign Fixtures> and press ENTER
2. Now press the Multi-Function-Key of the fixture you wish to assign.
3. Press the down cursor button to move to the next line on the LCD, and then use
the left & right cursor buttons to select the manufacturer of the fixture.
4. If instead of using fixture personalities from the main library, you wish to load
personalities from a file you have created with the Fixture Type editor, select
Load From USB at this point, and select the filename using the left & right
cursor buttons. The desk will take an internal copy of the file so that it can be
used again in future without the need to reload it again from memory stick.
5. If instead of using fixture personalities from the main library, you wish to load
personalities from a file you have previously assigned fixtures from on the desk,
select Load User File at this point, and select the filename using the left & right
cursor buttons. Note that old files stored internally can be cleared from the
<Update Fixture Lib> menu if required.
6. Having selected the manufacturer of the fixture, press the down cursor button to
move to the next line, and then use the left & right cursor buttons to select the
fixture model. For fixtures with multiple modes, it is very important to ensure
that the mode selected on the fixture matches that of the fixture personality file.
7. Once the fixture model has been selected, press the down cursor button to
move
to
the
<Assign>
bu
tton,
and
press
ENTER.
The
nam
e
of
the
f
ixture
will
now appear on the LCD above the corresponding Multi-Function-Key.
8. If you need to un-assign a fixture, simply select it using the Multi-Function-Key,
and hold down the CLEAR button for a short duration until it’s name is blanked.
9. Repeat steps 2-7 above for all fixtures you wish to assign. When you’ve
finished, navigate to <Exit> and press ENTER. You will be returned to the
Setup menu.
10. Fixtures must now be patched to their DMX addresses – see the DMX Patch
menu option for details.
Record Options
By default the desk operates in ‘Partial’ mode. This means that parameters must be
‘tagged’ to be recorded. Parameters are automatically tagged by the desk when they
are changed, or you can manually tagged/untag them. Additional options allow you
to define how the tagging is treated for each attribute. By switching the desk into
‘Full’ mode, everything is recorded and tagging is not used, however this results in
less flexibility particularly for Palettes and Submasters (on the JesterML24).
