Pre-order the Latest Technologies from Zero 88

Posted on: 15th September 2020

Cwmbran, Wales – UK lighting control manufacturer Zero 88 presented “Live from the Congress” a dynamic live stream highlighting the latest technologies in its control, data and power product ranges and announced that key products like the ZerOS Server, Splitter 8, Gateway 4 & Gateway 8, Betapack4 and RigSwitch are all shipping now. Call our team on 01525 850085 or email sales@leisuretec.co.uk to place your order today.

The 30-minute broadcast was hosted at the Congress Theatre in Cwmbran, the nearest theatre to Zero 88’s manufacturing facility, and was presented by general manager David Catterall, supported by Jon Hole, Tyler Holpin (who also works as a technician at the venue) and Edward Smith. The stream was broadcast live on Zero 88’s YouTube and Facebook channels. Watch on demand below.

The stream announced that the latest version of ZerOS software has entered its “Public Beta” phase and will be launched officially later in the year, which brings a whole new library to ZerOS, providing more detailed control, improved macros, better gobo previews and enhanced colour information, etc.

Product manager Jon Hole walked viewers through a complete refresh of Zero 88’s networking products made up of “Splitter 8”, a DMX/RMX splitter that includes a “Fix Switch” - an invaluable “Get out of jail free card” for systems with compatibility issues or poorly designed fixtures causing flickering!

Gateway 4 and Gateway 8 both support Art-Net and sACN, along with new protocol “LLRP” so the stream featured a short video explaining what this is … and why you need or want it!

Edward examined the new Betapack 4 unit which supports both dimming and hot-power connectivity in a single portable box that can be toured or installed. The new variants include a 15a / 16a mixed and a Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1, together with the ‘classic’ 15a, 16a, Schuko and Swiss options for which Betapack is famous! Can’t wait for the Betapack 4? Why not make the most of our Betapack 3 clearance pricing and score some extra margin on your upcoming projects.

Tyler highlighted the usefulness and practicality of RigSwitch, a remote-controlled power switching solution for any size of venue or space. It supports the same button panels, touchscreens, sensors etc. as the ZerOS Server. Along with 8 standard variants, RigSwitch is fully customisable, providing up to 34560 different bespoke configurations. 

Zero 88 Supporting the Industry

The presentation also emphasised the support work in which Zero 88 has engaged for the National Health Service (NHS) that has included lighting up three local hospitals for the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB).

The company has also participated in the #LightItInRed campaign throughout the summer to draw attention to the live music, events, and performance industry’s need for special sector support from the government during Covid-19.
