Wings and ZeroWire
It is possible to use the Enttec Playback Wing as an
additional fader/playback wing for the ZerOS consoles.
Each key and fader can be assigned individually to allow a
truly configurable accessory, and multiple wings can be
supported simultaneously.
In the settings window, select and assign IP addresses as
required. Once the desk is at the correct IP address, you
should see the wing appear in a list below it. Press the
Configure key and a popup window will appear allowing
you to assign each of the keys and faders on the wing as
required. These settings will be stored as part of your show
file, so you can reuse the wing.
Zero Wire DMX is a legacy wireless DMX transmission
system from Zero 88. The system can be output directly
from the console and can then be routed via a Wireless
Access Point to Zero Wire DMX boxes which decode the
signal to DMX for linking to fixtures and dimmers, etc.
In the Zero Wire setup page there are a host of options,
which enable each DMX Universe on the desk to be routed
to an IP address with a unique Universe number (see
below). For more information, see the Zero Wire DMX user
manual, which can be found on the Zero 88 website.

Network devices
Network devices allow you to configure the functionality of
external Art-Net devices on the network. The options
available depend on the devices present on the network.

devices, please visit the dedicated website at art-net.org.uk
Tracking Backup
Tracking backup allows a continuous and full back up of
FLX to another device, which will automatically take over if
anything happens to your main console. Backups can be
done to a second FLX, to a “SCD Server Pro”, or to a
laptop running Phantom ZerOS with an Unlock Dongle.
This tracking backup option is ideal for show-critical
scenarios where a backup solution must be provided.
The tracking backup screen (when using Phantom ZerOS)
The two consoles are connected together via an Ethernet
network. Each console is assigned an IP address and a
master or backup status. If the console is set to be the
backup device, it will go into a suspended status where
you will not be able to operate the controls on the front
panel, until such a time as the master console disconnects
or fails in any way. At this time, the show file will have
automatically transferred to the backup console and the
backup console will take over control of the show.
