Recording a Cue Stack (Chase or Theatre Stack)
Recording a Cue Stack is the same as recording a Cue - you simply record multiple Cues onto a Playback and you end up with a
Cue Stack.
So, for example to record a stack of two looks, the first yellow dots, the second blue triangles:
• Generate the yellow dots look.
• Press RECORD and press the S button of the playback.
• Generate the blue triangles look.
• Press RECORD and press the S button of the playback.
To test the Cue, clear the programmer by pressing CLEAR then raise the Playback fader or press the Playback flash button.
View the Cue Stack by selecting the Playback and pressing CUE STACK to open the Cue Stack Window.
When you record more than one Cue onto a Playback the Cue Stack controls the transition from one Cue to another. In Normal
mode by default the Cue Stack operates like a chase - i.e. each Cue is executed in turn, with timing being handled by a Chase
Speed for the whole Cue Stack.
In Theatre Modes the default timing is Cue Timing – individual Fade times on each step with GO stepping from one step to the
next.
