Vari-Lite has unveiled the ZerOS 7.14 update for FLX Series consoles. The update includes support for Open Sound Control (OSC), RS485-based Vision.Net and DMX Input.

The OSC input support in ZerOS 7.14 allows ZerOS-based consoles like the FLX Console, FLX S Series, and ZerOS Server to receive OSC commands from other devices and software that support the popular third-party control protocol. The update allows users to integrate their lighting control into OSC-controlled systems for architainment, theme parks and automated theatre applications.

Vari-Lite is also expanding its support for the Vision.Net platform within ZerOS, adding RS485 alongside its existing IP-based Vision.Net support. With support for Vision.Net RS485, users can utilize one of the FLX Series console’s onboard DMX ports to receive Vision.Net commands from Vari-Lite Vision.Net Button Stations or Touchscreens. The addition of inbound DMX offers similar support for other DMX control devices in the system, such as stage manager stations. Both capabilities allow users to recall lighting cues or adjust the lighting remotely.

ZerOS 7.14 also adds several new updates that make macros in ZerOS more intuitive and flexible, with more available macros and easier ways to trigger them. Click the link to download the ZerOS 7.14 update.
