GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

General Introduction
Note: The Strand logo key on 300 Series Consoles is equivalent to the [SHIFT] key on 500 Series
consoles.
Differences in operation between 500 and 300 series consoles are explained at the appropriate points
in this manual
The functions performed by the trackball on a 500 series console can be performed on a 300 series
console using the Microsoft Intellimouse Trackball connected to the PS2 or COM ports on the
command module/processor unit. When a mouse, or trackball is not available, the functions can be
performed using the navigation keys on a standard ASCII keyboard connected to the keyboard
connection on the processor unit, or to the PS2 port on the back of the command module.
