Rack Palette - Operators Manual - Strand Lighting

Concepts and Overview
Fade Resolution
The pecking order that the fade engine uses to resolve output channels, in order of
precedence, is as follows:
1. Parked Output levels
2. Intensities controlled by the Flash, Highlight or Lowlight Tools
3. Captured Channel attributes (on the keypad, with red levels)
4. Inhibitive Look levels (intensities only) in order of Priority
5. Additive Look levels (intensities and attributes) in order of Priority and Cue List
levels (Latest Takes Precedence or Highest Takes Precedence) in order of Priority

The affect of the Grand Master and Black Out Button can occur before or
after Captured intensity attributes based on how it is setup.
Palette's Latest Takes Precedence cue lists do not get automatically
released when other cues take full control of all the attributes used in
them. Their values are still valid and if the domineering 'more recent' cue
list gets released, the values from the original cue list will get a chance to
write to the stage again. Some may refer to this domineering behaviour
as Stomping and the behaviour of re-writing to the stage after the
release as Persist on Override.
It's interesting to note that intensities recorded in Looks (often thought of
as traditional submasters) do not always win over cue lists at the same
priority. By default, the attributes are resolved on an LTP bases unless
the Look has specifically been marked HTP. This ensures that the
recorded 'look' will appear on stage when the look handle reaches the top
of its travel, even if it must reduce the level of some Channels.
