The pecking order that the fade engine uses to resolve output channels, in order of precedence, is as follows:
Parked Output levels
Intensities controlled by the Flash, Highlight or Lowlight Tools
Captured fixture attributes (on the keypad, with red levels)
Inhibitive Look levels (intensities only) in order of Priority
Additive Look levels (intensities and attributes) in order of Priority and Cue List levels (Latest Takes Precedence or Highest Takes Precedence) in order of Priority
Note:
The affect of the Grand Master and Black Out Button can occur before or after Captured intensity attributes based on how it is setup.
Marquee's Latest Takes Precedence cue lists do not get automatically released when other cues take full control of all the attributes used in them. Their values are still valid and if the domineering 'more recent' cue list gets released, the values from the original cue list will get a chance to write to the stage again. Some may refer to this domineering behaviour as Stomping and the behaviour of re-writing to the stage after the release as Persist on Override.
It's interesting to note that intensities recorded in Looks (often thought of as traditional submasters) do not always win over cue lists at the same priority. By default, the attributes are resolved on an LTP bases unless the Look has specifically been marked HTP. This ensures that the recorded 'look' will appear on stage when the look handle reaches the top of its travel, even if it must reduce the level of some fixtures.
