CUEMASTER II OPERATION

OVER-RIDING CUE FADE TIMES
During a cue fade you can move the Scene Fade master to a new time—the fade will continue at the new rate. You should then reset the
fade time to Auto for the next cue.
HOLDING CUE FADES
While the Hold key remains down, the action of the Show fade timer is halted, and the current output lighting state will be held until the
key is released. This is useful if a slow fade is progressing too fast for the action on stage.
SKIPPING CUES
If you need to skip a cue or two, or go back several cues, keep the Hold key down while you press the Cue Go or Cue Back keys.
Alternatively you can move the Scene Fade master to say 50 minutes until you have found the right cue, and then move the lever to a
suitable fade time to introduce the new levels. You should then reset the fade time to Auto for the next cue.
COMPLETING A FADE
During rehearsal, you may need to go to a new cue state without waiting for the auto fade to complete. You can do this by moving the
Scene Fade lever to Instant, or by using the Hold and Latch keys as follows to complete the fade instantly:
> Hold down [HOLD], then press [LATCH]: the lighting will snap instantly to the new cue state.
