GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual
- Add channel 'trackback' syntax: [chan list] @ TRACKBACK
[TRACK | QONLY] lev *. TRACKBACK is SHIFT TRACK. This
command tracks back changes to the source cue that set the level.
TRACKBACK can be used whereever TRACK or QONLY are
currently used.
- Show tracked intensity zeros always in multi part cues.
- [chan list] UPDATE CUE cue @ COPYFROM chan * ensures new
changes are put in the first part.
Additional software features on version v2.7.6
- Backup of deleted showfile on 300 console is now called backup.
ssf rather than showfile.bk0
- Show 'SB' as the cue type for soft blocked tracked cues.
- [chan list] @ GROUP g * updates current group so [chan list] @
GROUP NEXT/LAST works as expected by using group g as the
base for the next/last.
Additional software features on version v2.7.5
- Fix problem whereby Main & Backup wouldn't sync when a remote
console was logged on.
- [chan list] UPDATE CUE [cue range] @ + lev * no longer masters
up zero levels to lev.

sets zero levels to lev.

groups & cues.

Additional software features on version v2.7.4

tracking changes.

intensity channel only to zero.
Additional software features on version v2.7.3
- Speed up printing.
- Starting an effect via a cue now sets the effect fade up/down times
from the cue fade times.
- [chan list] @ OFF * on any part of a XF/AF cue when in tracking
sets the channel(s) to the previous cue value - previously this only
worked when on the first part.
- Super submaster text is loaded correctly from disk when those
submasters have been remapped due to the show having been
saved on a console with a different number of submasters.
- Number of Attribute Filters has been increased to 12.
Additional software features on version v2.7.2

next channel control selection.

working.

the playback.
- Completed effect step attributes show preset focus group
information.
- Effect stop after cycles with a zero fade down time stops with the
last step levels.
- 16bit attributes follow cue & effect fade time profiles.
- Default for Cue Sheet Macros is now Main Console as this is most
useful to most users.
- Same cue loaded in X playback preview after a Main/Backup
sync.
- Current Cue set to the X playback stage cue (last to complete)
available depends on the hardware performance, and is different for
various consoles. Please contact Strand Lighting for specifics.

attributes (for instance, pan and tilt), preset focus groups, and fixture
libraries. The Networker software provides remote video, remote
DMX via Ethernet, and access to all SN node ports. Console

status of all lamps on a rig and to record rack-based backup cues
simply and easily.Other software can be easily added as it is
developed.

of software lets you grow as your experience increases, or start at a
significantly higher level, all as economically as possible.

Console RAM Memory
The i version now requires at least 32Mbytes of RAM installed in the
console or PC. The non-i version still operates in 8Mbytes or more.
The more memory, the faster the console executes commands
(although mux outputs always transmit at the normal rate). Up to
64Mbytes of RAM is supported in consoles fitted with new CS
electronics or in the PC. Refer to Console Differences. See also

Password Registration
If your current version of Operating Software is earlier than version
2.0, you will need to re-register your console and PC, if fitted with a
CS card or dongle, in order to use this release. Refer to Upgrading
