GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

Recording Cues
Creates a new cue numbered 26 as a Tracking cue (blank) and copies the field values of the
cue alongside the cursor position.
[CUE] [2] [7] {HARD BLOCK} [RECORD]
Creates a new cue numbered 27, changes the Cue Type to Hard Block (BL) and copies the
field values of the cue alongside the cursor position.
[CUE] [2] [8] {SOFT BLOCK} [RECORD]
Creates a new cue numbered 28, changes the Cue Type to Soft Block (BL) and copies the
field values of the cue alongside the cursor position.
[CUE] [2] [9] (ALL FADE} [RECORD]
Creates a new cue numbered 29, changes the Cue Type to Soft Block (BL) and copies the
field values of the cue alongside the cursor position.
When in the Live Screen or any of the Preview Screens (Cue, Group, Effect or Sub) you can
copy the levels of a cue to another cue using the {COPY FROM} softkey, e.g.,
[CUE] [5] [@] {COPY FROM} [CUE] [2]
You can expose the record mode soft keys at any time by using the [REC MODE] key. This
key is a toggle, and switches the centre LCD (consoles with 3 LCD displays) or the left LCD
(consoles with 2 LCD displays) or the LCD (Consoles with one LCD) between its normal
display and the record mode soft keys.
Level Tracking
Since Cross Fades and All Fades (Block Cues) record all channels, whether they change or
not, to change levels in a series of Cross Fades or All Fades (Block Cues) you must re-record
each one of the cues.
Move Fades (Tracking Cues), on the other hand, are easy to modify. When the Cue Tracking
field in the Show Setup Screen is set ON (Lightpalette default) all level changes track through
subsequent cues to wherever the channel level is next changed. Also when Cue Tracking is
set to ON all cues are automatically recorded as Move Fades (Tracking Cues) unless another
type is explicitly selected. If you want to avoid level tracking when you subsequently modify
cues, you can set the Cue Tracking field to THIS CUE ONLY. In this mode level changes are
recorded into one cue and do not track through to subsequent cues.
For GeniusPro, when the Cue Tracking field is set to OFF (GeniusPro default) cues are
recorded as Cross Fades unless explicitly recorded as another type.
