Lesson 3
Working with cues
When working with the
PSC, a cue is a look you have created and recorded, and
can replay in a timed fader
. After you select channels and set their intensity
levels, you can store the look as a cue
. You can save up to 400 cues per show.
Each show can contain up to 500 SMPTE events. You can use the
PSC’s 3.5-
inch disk drive to save shows to disk. You can record two shows per disk. See
Lesson 5 for more information about recording shows on disk.
This lesson includes instructions and examples for creating cues using several
different methods
. When you have completed the lesson, you will have five
cues recorded
. You will also know how to modify and delete cues.
