Recording the Output

When you have adjusted the intensity and color of your fixtures and possibly created

an animation(s) and or shapes you can record the current output of the Geneis onto a

Red Playback fader.

To record the current output onto a Red Playback fader, tap [Record] then tap the

button below the Red Playback fader of your choice [1-10]. All of the attributes of any

fixture with an intensity level greater than 0% will be included and the recording is

called a cue.

To include fixtures with no intensity, after taping [Record], tap [Select], then

tap (and light) the buttons of any fixtures with no intensity that you want to include in

the cue.

The look on stage can now be played back from the recorded cue (see Playback be-

low). This frees up the yellow faders ready for you to create another lighting look and

to record it into another cue.

If you record a cue to a Red Playback that already contains a single cue you are

offered 2 choices

• “Overwrite”. Replaces the existing cue.

• “Add”. Creates a “Cue-list” with the new cue following the existing cue. See Page

14

If you record a cue to a Red Playback that already contains a Cue-list the new cue is

added after the current cue in the list.

The Red “Playback Master” fader has overall intensity control of the Red playbacks.

Pages

There are 10 red playback faders and 10 pages of memory giving a total of 100 memo-

ries. Each memory can contain either a single cue or a “cue-list” which can contain up

to 250 cues.

• Repeated taps of the [Page] button will step through the 10 pages of memo-

ry.

• To switch directly to a page number; HOLD [Page] and TAP a red fader button

[1 to 10].

The current page number is shown in the top left corner of the “Home” screen and the

contents of the red playback faders are shown along the bottom.

Playback

To playback a recorded cue, fade up the Red Playback Master to full and fade up

the Red Playback fader where you recorded the cue (remember to select the correct

page). You might want to fade down the Yellow master (or all of the yellow fixture

faders) after you bring up the Red playback, so that you only see the recorded look on

the output.
