SCENEMASTER RECORDINGS
The Cuemaster has 10 pages of 24 memory playback masters called Scenemasters, giving a total of 240 Scenemasters. Each of the 240
Scenemasters can hold any one of four types of recordings<197>a Manual Scene, a Fade-Scene, a Chase, or a Show, each of which
can be used for a variety of lighting applications.
RECORDING TYPES
Each recording under a Scenemaster is composed of one or more cue states. Each cue state lists all Channel levels, and may also
include a Fade time, and a Link descriptor. Manual Scenes and Fade-Scenes are one Cue long, while Chases and Shows must have a
minimum count of two Cues. The maximum Cue count of a Chase or a Show is limited only by the memory capacity of the desk.
MANUAL SCENE: A Manual Scene is a single Cue recording of all Channel levels under a Scenemaster. Manual Scenes fade at the
same speed that the fader is moved and are are not affected by the Scene Fade timer.
FADE-SCENE: A Fade-Scene is a single Cue recording of all Channel levels with an fade time recorded under a Scenemaster. Fade-
Scene playback is affected by the setting of the Scene Fade timer, and if this is set to Auto position, raising a Fade-Scene fader loads the
timer with its recorded fade time and then executes the fade.
CHASE: A Chase is a number of Cues recorded under a Scenemaster. Each Cue lists all Channel levels. In addition each Chase can be
recorded with a separate Chase Speed, which automatically cycles the Chase through all the Cues. Chases fade up and down at the
same speed that the fader is moved. Chase playback is not affected by the Scene Fade timer.
SHOW: A Show is a number of Cues recorded under a Scenemaster. Each Cue of a Show lists all Channel levels, a recorded Fade time,
and a Link descriptor. Show playback is affected by the setting of the Scene Fade timer, and if this is set to Auto position, each Cue loads
the timer with its recorded fade time and then executes the fade. The Link descriptor of each Cue of a Show in Scenemasters 17 to 24
can be programmed to drive any or all of 16 Chases or Fade-Scenes under Scenemasters 1-16 on the same page.
