From viewing the MRC instruction sheet it looks like the Genie has three zones with dual outputs 1,2, &3.  The YouTube video said all 5 zones have 20 lighting effects leaving me to assume that zones 1 through 3 can drive crossing signals.
 
You might give Customer Service a call.  They have been helpful for me a couple of times.  If you figure it out please post your findings.

I saw that Video and that is what made me ask the question.  It appears that only zone 2 contrlols flashing, which would make all devises  (Crossing gates) flash at the same time.

If you check out this MRC Video they describe how the Light Genie works.

MRC Light Genie question
Posted by hwolf on Sunday, July 3, 2016 7:56 AM

I was thinking about buying a Light Genie, but I have one question.

I have several Crossing Signal on differient locations on the layout.  Does the Genie have more then the one port for flashing simuation.  If it is only one section an they say to wire everything in Series it would light all at the same time.
