If the limits of the capacity are reached then there are three different ways
to help overcome this.
Reduce the 'number of tracks' in the settings page. Note that the current
track content is lost when changing this setting.
Reduce the sample rate.
Spread the content over multiple tracks. They can be linked together later
on the Playback page (For more information go to chapter Playbacks, page
20). This way cross-fades can be generated by the CueCore2 instead of
being recorded.

Intensity map
Typically, a DMX recorder stores the values of the channels without knowing
its functions. When reducing the output level at the Playback all channels are
reduced, also the ones that contain information other than intensity/dimmer
levels. This has the undesired effect that RGB or Pan Tilt channels are also
affected, whereas ideally only the intensity levels should be lowered. This is a
challenge all DMX recorders have. The intensity map (figure 7.5) overcomes
this issue by specifying to the CueCore2 which channels control intensity.
To set up the Intensity Map follow steps below:
1. Connect an external lighting console via DMX, Art-Net or sACN.
2. Create a scene in which intensity channels are set to 100%. In case of
16-bit dimming, the coarse (or MSB) channels are set to 100% and the
Fine (or LSB) channels are set to 50%. All other channels go to 0%.
3. Press the 'Capture' button.
The recording of this lighting scene is now saved in the Intensity Map.
The capture buttons remain disabled while the CueCore2 is not receiving the ac-
tual signal from the corresponding protocol. The 'Clear Intensity Map' button is
