GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

General Introduction
520 Series Differences
Apart from the number of submaster faders, the 520 and 520i have a number of mechanical
differences from the other consoles as follows:
● 520 and 520i does not have an On/Off button and Stop button at the top of the console. An On/
Off switch is fitted at the rear of the console.
● 520 and 520i does not have Grandmaster faders. You can assign submasters as Grandmasters
faders
● 520 and 520i does not have a separate Rate Wheel (the Level Wheel doubles as a Rate Wheel)
● 520 and 520i does not have a centre LCD
● 520 and 520i has only four centre softkeys
● 520 and 520i has 14 direct macro keys rather than 7.
● 520 and 520i has the floppy disk drive fitted below the front of the console.
520 Series LCD Softkeys
520 series consoles have no centre LCD. The soft menus which pop up on the centre LCD on other
consoles for [BUMP MODE], [FX TIME] etc. use the right LCD on 520 series consoles.
[CUE], [GROUP] and [SUB] no longer pop up {INTS ONLY} and {ATTS ONLY} soft keys on 520
series consoles. To access these keys, press the [REC MODE] key when required during [CUE],
[GROUP] and [SUB] commands.
300 Series Differences
A special version of the GeniusPro/Lightpalette operating software and the application software
packages has been developed to run on 300 series consoles. While all of the functionality available on
the 500 series consoles is also available on 300 series consoles, a number of keys on the 500 series
consoles are omitted from the 300 series consoles. Specifically the [REC TIME] [SUB PAGE] [BUMP
MODE] [FX SEL], [FX DIR], [FX TIME] and [FX LOAD] keys are not available on the 300 series
consoles. The 300 series consoles have an intellimouse in place of the trackball and rotaries and have
only one LCD display.
It should be emphasised, unless specifically stated otherwise, that all software functions described in
this manual are available within all consoles. Where keys are omitted, there are other methods of
achieving the same result, e.g., Edit Mode, by using an ASCII Keyboard and PC Emulation Template,
by creating a macro to simulate the key function, or by key remapping.
