Doric Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Came across a Lighting Processor Zip 12. Seems the company got bought up by Eaton who own Zero88. Not seen the Zip12 before but it seems really useful for a small theatre company having mixed analogue and DMX driven dimmers. Eaton have stopped manufacture. Anyone care to express opinion on the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Wonderful little desk - 36 channels in 3 banks, 12 subs, chases, etc, etc. It does most of what the old Sirius desks would do (apart from editing cues or subs, which is a bit of a no-no) in a tiny package. Seen a lot at trade shows. I's my most-used toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandall Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 does it run off a dimmer connected to one analogue outlet through the phantom connector? Yes, I believe it does - it's so long since I used it on anything but DMX I'd forgotten all about the analogue side. I found the handbook a bit confusing, so I wrote my own idiot's guide, which you are very welcome to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Worrall Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just hired one of these. I was hoping for a two-preset, but the zip 12 was cheaper… it would be ideal, apart from the fact that I can't figure out how to make it "grab scenes" properly! It works about one time in two. I'm in Channels mode. I set up a state, with Grab master at 0 and Presets master at 100. I press Grab Scene. On the screen it says something like "Grab Scene 1-12". According to the manual, at this point I should be able to push both faders to Grab at 100%, Presets at 0%, and it'll maintain my scene… right? Well, sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn't, and I can't work out why! Any ideas? Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
