Eaton left the lighting business, selling it to Signify back in early 2020, sorry.

I think if fixtures are in a grid-like formation, I’d be more likely to think in terms of the light’s position relevant to my current perspective (SR-SL, DS-US) than the specific physical fixture. Therefore, I would number them from the perspective of each console.

Every so often I meet up with Peter Brooks (Z88 founder, original PLASA Chairman) for a beer, and he dug out a selection of old tshirts.... oldest is about 27 years, but I'm sure there are much older ones out there.

Makes perfect (and obvious) sense, I’ve just never thought about it before.

Congratulations @Rob Halliday and team for putting this stand together so well - it was really special to have the opportunity to program and run an Artisan with a VL2 & VL4. One of the revelations was realising every key was backlit by its own incandescent lamp...

Worth noting that some of these are available on our website: vari-lite.com/global/products/300-series-console vari-lite.com/global/products/500-series-console vari-lite.com/global/products/light-palette vari-lite.com/global/products/GSX-LBX Without having the files themselves, it's not so easy to cross-reference the differences in descriptions to know what is included / missing / older / newer.

Yes, ZerOS (the software on FLX & FLX S) has this feature built in to the console. You can say (for example) "I want a 9 channel fixture, where channels 3 & 4 are Pan and Tilt and channel 6, 7 & 8 are RGB", and ZerOS will return all the fixtures in ZerOS Library that match this. If you find a fixture that's close but not quite right, you can then edit this fixture before patching it. More info on dealing with "missing" fixtures in ZerOS here: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/add-fixtures/missing-fixtures

If only there was a better way...

On the FLX range, a fixture limit is in place where the console is primarily fader based (e.g., FLX S) and not where the console is primarily syntax based (e.g., FLX). On FLX S, the fixture limit is based on twice the number of faders (so 48 on FLX S24, and 96 on FLX S48) and are controlled by a "Page" button. We deliberately chose two pages so a fixture is always only a single button press away... more than two pages would mean scrolling through multiple pages.
