Theatrelight CUEMASTER, Quick Operation

CUEMASTER OPERATION 57
REMOTE CUE REVERSE
If you press the Reverse push-button briefly (50 milliseconds to 1 second), the Show will step backwards one cue, the new cue
introducing its own pre-recorded fade time, and any linked Chases or Fade-Scenes at the same time.
SHOW RESTART
If you hold the Forward push-button down for a period exceeding 2 seconds, the Show will step immediately forward one cue and after 2
seconds reset to Cue 1. Since the Cuemaster cycles back from the last cue to the first cue there will be a smooth restart to the Cue 1
state at the Cue 1 fade time.
REMOTE INPUT SPECIFICATIONS
The remote control input requires a stereo phone jack with the following connections as shown opposite:
TIP Forward connection
RING Reverse connection
SLEEVE Common connection (chassis earth)
The Forward, Reverse and Restart commands are given to the Cuemaster as follows:
Forward Cue Connect tip to sleeve for a period of not less than 50 milliseconds and no greater than 1 second.
Reverse Cue Connect ring to sleeve for a period of not less than 50 milliseconds and no greater than 1 second.
Restart Show Connect tip to sleeve for a period of 2 seconds or more.
The sleeve is connected to the Cuemaster chassis and is at Earth potential. The Forward and Reverse inputs have an internal pull-up
resistor of 2200 ohms to 5 volts, and hence may be safely activated by any external switch such as a push-button, relay contact, or
computer logic output including TTL, LS-TTL, CMOS, NMOS, open collector transistor output, or any other device which can sink 2
milliamps. Connection diagrams are given in the appendix at the end of this manual.
