Linking and Timings
Cues can be linked together. A link is a simple way to connect multiple cues into a list that are
executed one by one.
With the Links Menu it is also possible to define the fade time for a cue and the hold time until the
next cue is started.
Links are assigned to the source cue, for example Cue 1 has a link to Cue 5, Cue 5 has a link to Cue
8 and Cue 8 links back to Cue 1 (at which point the list starts from its beginning)
Press Enter to confirm.
Browse to the Cue number that needs to be modified.
The arrow indicates what is being modified.
Fade Defines the fade time it takes to fade up the current one
Hold Defines the time a cue waits before the next cue is triggered
Cue Indicates the next Cue to follow after the current one
-- indicates that no cue will be triggered (ending the cuelist)
Both times are added together:
First the cue fades with the defined time (12s), then the cue holds for the defined time (3s).
This is a total of 15s for the current cue, at which point Cue 5 is triggered.
With linking it is possible to create multiple such loops.
Examples
Cue 1,2,3,4,5 Link back to Cue 1
Cue 5,10,15,16
Cue 51,52 Link back to Cue 1
With some smart linking there are many useful possibilities.
Playing Back Cues
Play back of cues is started from the RUN Menu.
