GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

Recording Cues
With dual playbacks, each playback keeps track of loops separately. There are a number of
error conditions with Loops. If any of these occur, the playback will not run any more cues until
explicitly reloaded.

A cue is linked to a non existent cue.
A loop is nested more than 4 levels. This can happen if loops call themselves, since this
will nest infinitely.
A subroutine return is linked to another cue.
A cue is looped to a cue assigned to the other playback in one of the dual playback
modes.
Within the above restrictions, links and loops can be intermixed and used in any way.
Note: Remember that you can also record cues as effect steps. You may be able to implement
some of your loops as effects, thus effectively increasing the number of looping levels in a cue
sequence.
Fade (Cue) Types
When you are initially setting up cues, you simply change the levels as necessary for each
lighting state and then record the cue. When you start running cues, or go back to make
changes or add new cues, you need to know how the console treats unchanging levels.
Unless explicitly overridden, GeniusPro records all cues as Cross Fades (Cue Tracking field in
Show Setup Screen Off - Default). With Cue Tracking On, GeniusPro records all new cues as
Move Fades (shown as blank in Cue Type field). To record a cue which only changes the
channel levels that change in the cue, you must record a Move Fade cue.
Unless explicitly overridden, Lightpalette records all cues as Tracking Cues (shown as blank in
Cue Type field).
Note: Cue Tracking cannot be set to Off when using Lightpalette)
