Remote (mobile apps)
This section of Setup enables access to the console from
the “Windows Remote Monitor” application (available as a
free download from the Zero 8
8 website) and the “ZerOS
Remote” and “ZerOS Monitor” mobile apps. These are
available free of charge from the iOS App Store and
Google Play respectively.
“ZerOS Remote” is designed to work as a "rigger's
remote" to wirelessly control fixtures etc, especially
during a focus session.
“ZerOS Monitor” is designed to work as a "remote
monitor", just like the physical touch screen monitor you
can plug into the back of the FLX S48. Whatever you
can do on that monitor, you can do with this app.
Whatever you can't do on that monitor, you can't do on
this app! Although this app can work on any screen, it's
not really designed for a smartphone sized screen.
To use these features, the console must be plugged into a
wireless network. To enable access to the console from
these apps, change “Remote” to “Enabled”.
You’re wireless network should already include security
measures to ensure unauthorised access isn’t possible,
however you can also add a password on the console as
an additional layer of security by enabling “Security” (this
security is simply a password the remote will prompt you
for before connecting - ensure you change the password
from the default one).
If you enable “Use DHCP Address”, the console will
request an available IP address from the router. This will
only work if your router supports DHCP. Alternatively,
disable DHCP to display two more options
– IP Address
and Subnet Mask.
At the bottom of the remote setup screen, a message
should appear - "Remote Active". If "Remote Not Active -
No DHCP Address" is displayed, ensure that DHCP is
enabled on the router and reboot the desk. Assuming
"Remote Active" is displayed and the mobile device is
connected to the wireless network, you should be able to
start the app on the device and the desk should be
detected. Press on the Desk name and click the connect
button.
Art-Net
Art-Net is a lighting protocol which sends DMX data over
Ethernet. The protocol allows for multiple DMX universes
to be sent over a single Ethernet cable. The FLX S console
can output up to 1 universes of DMX data via Art-Net, or 2
universes if upgraded.
For more in-depth information about Art-Net, please visit
the dedicated website at art-net.org.uk
Each Art-Net device needs an IP address starting with a
2.x.y.z or a 10.x.y.z. The same start number must match
on the desk itself. Each DMX universe must then be
allocated to a Port
– Art-Net Ports numerate from 0-15, so
it is generally accepted that desk universe 1 will become
Art-Net universe 0, however this is user definable.
Art-Net enabled devices include Media Servers, Moving
Lights and also dedicated DMX output boxes such as the,
“EtherN.8”, “EtherN.2” and “1 Universe Ethernet Box” by
Eaton.
