The Support Solution

ZerOS is the operating software for Solution and Solution XL. Simple controls allow the customisation
of the monitor displays, including resizable windows, user selectable colour schemes and advanced
visual displays such as Colour Pickers.

The Solution & Solution XL from Zero 88

are comprehensive multi-purpose

lighting consoles, running the powerful

ZerOS operating software.

and sACN

Solution & Solution XL

The Solution Range offer simple hands on control of conventional
channels, submaster and cue stack playback and moving light controls
laid out in an easy to use, familiar fashion.

Both consoles feature four DMX universes, USB storage,
external touch screen support, multiple onboard LCD displays and
multifunctional keys (MFKs).

High performance operating software allows Solution & Solution XL

users to feel empowered. Up to 248 (or 296) xtures can be controlled

and these can be allocated to up to 400 groups. Almost limitless
colour, beam, position and effect palettes can be recorded to provide
quick access when programming or operating live.

Control of attributes is achieved by using the ergonomically positioned
control wheels. It is even possible to set the sensitivity of these
wheels, to customise the user experience. Monitor screens can
be adjusted and laid out as required, with optional colour schemes
available for low light environments.

Hands-on Control

ZerOS’ powerful effects engine and chases can be manipulated to
create truly unique effects, from simple chases to full stage colour
waves, whatever you want is just a button push away. Fly Ins,
Can Cans, Rainbows and Iris Pulses can all be programmed simply
using the onboard effects. Offsets and rotation settings allow for
complex and versatile unique effects to be created and stored as
effect palettes.

Shows recorded with the Solution & Solution XL can be easily
transferred to any ZerOS console and vice versa. With the option
of SMPTE/MIDI/ChilliNet the Solution Series can be used to control

architectural or multimedia environments. An ofine editor is available

allowing users to prepatch shows, edit cues, palettes and submasters
or simply check timings.

Solution & Solution XL consoles support many Ethernet protocols
including Art-Net, sACN and a powerful remote device system
meaning it is possible to use an iOS
together with WiFi to control the desks remotely.

The extensive Zero 88 xture library comes as standard inside the
Solution consoles. Regular updates which can be downloaded from
the Zero 88 website ensure that users will always have the correct
xture proles. Fixture proles can be edited on the desks allowing
users to set home values, top sets or switch pan and tilt attributes
at a venue.

Remote Apps & Ofine Editor

The free “ZerOS Remote” and “ZerOS Monitor” apps, available for

®

iOS

or Android devices, are ideal as a remote focus/console unit

during t ups, focus and plotting sessions. The apps provide quick and

simple control of both generic dimmers and moving lights, allowing
you to manipulate, control, and play back your shows remotely.

“Phantom ZerOS” is the ofine editor, and provides full desk
functionality from a standard Windows PC. Show les can be loaded

from USB, manipulated using the standard desk controls and then
re-saved as required.

Showle Saved, and Backed up

The internal Non-Volatile RAM continuously saves your show, meaning
you’ll never lose any data in the event of a power outage.

For additional security, ZerOS can be connected to an SCD Server
(sold separately) to provide a full tracking backup that will automatically

take over if your console goes ofine. With the purchase of an unlock

dongle, Phantom ZerOS can be unlocked as also used as a tracking
backup solution to the main desk.

Included with ZerOS is the latest Zero 88 xture library, which
features thousands of xture types from a comprehensive list of

manufacturers. This extensive library includes details about colours

on xed wheels, gobo images and position information enabling ZerOS
consoles to present a unied set of controls, regardless of the xture

being controlled.
