As someone else suggested, you can build an object in the Magic Sheet 
that targets the "Blackout" console button. This works just like they 
physical button, toggling the Blackout state on then off.

If the Magic Sheet is not an option, a simple macro would be "Clear_Cmd 
Select All Intens Out"  This, however, does not toggle like the blackout 
button does, you would need a second macro to release the channels -- 
"Clear_Cmd Sneak Time 0 <enter>"

Hope this helps,

Steve L.

(I'm puzzled the Gio doesn't have the physical B/O button.  I mean, even 
my Ions have that.)
