About This Manual
This “Quick Start Guide” provides basic information on patching, controlling intensity,
color & position, creating a simple animation plus recording and playback. Training
videos plus the “Genesis Operation Manual” containing full descriptions of all func-
tions are available at: www.altmanlighting.com
Genesis comes with a “Sample” show that you can load so that you can familiarize
yourself with the controls before patching your own fixtures. To load the sample
show from the “Home” screen touch: Tools/Load/SampleShow. If you don’t need the
sample show and want to patch your own fixture, go straight to section 20.
Genesis can control up to 24 lighting fixtures. The fixtures that you control might be:
• A conventional lighting dimmer.
• A multi-color LED fixture.
• A multi-color fixture with additional controls for position and/or beam shapes.
Each fixture is patched to a Yellow fader and button.
