    Control/Dimming Zero 88's New Console

    Nick,The screen layouts on ORB can be customised using the VIEW syntax key - VIEW {SIZE} and VIEW {SCREEN} can be used to resize and relocate the currently selected window. Using this it is quick and easy to create a full screen channel view and use the second monitor as your cue lists, etc...

    Control/Dimming Zero 88's New Console

    This will be coming - the to-do list is getting ticked off quickly. Flash Memory - the only moving part inside the desk is a cooling fan for the processor, as well as the wheels and trackball. No hard disks to go wrong. Another neat idea to add to the mix - we've also talked about giving...

    Control/Dimming Zero 88's New Console

    I can see where you're coming from, and have passed your comments onto our R&D team. We'll look at doing something along these lines - our Frog 2 offline has a lot of keyboard shortcuts which work in the same way as the 500 series one, so it shouldn't be major to add some keyboard shortcuts to...

    Control/Dimming Zero 88's New Console

    First of all the Element isn't really comparible with ORB feature wise - it has no fixture wheels and doesn't support multiple cue stacks and is really closer to the Jester TLXtra in many ways, or to our Leap Frog range. The Ion is a close comparison but what ORB has against Ion is the...
