Timecode and cuelists

Hi everyone,

Having a bit of hard time trying to understand f somethng is possible.

Essentially, I want to have a showfile with 4 timecode inputs (response gateways) to operate multiple rooms for an exhibition. In each room they all have their on cuelists for multiple cues running in there.

Is it possible to have multiple cuelists running from timecode without affecting any of the outputs from other cuelists?

In my experience, when using timecode for a single cuelist, the command is effectively "go" on a nominated cue which changes the overall output. Is there a world where multiple timecodes can run multiple cuelists and not interfere with eachother?

thankyou in advance

    There is no technical reason why this would not work from a playback perspective, but great care is required during the programming part, because it would be easy to accidentally program information into the wrong cue list and/or source the wrong timecode generator. One way to help with this is to setup a separate user for each area, and then be sure to be in the right user while programming, using partitioning to ensure that you're only programming the correct channels. But that still doesn't prevent other problems -- again, it works, but I can see a dozen ways where user error can cause havoc.
