The Cueline Screen
The Cueline screen can be used for
programming, editing and playback of
the cues in the Memory Stack.
Press the SCREEN FUNCTION
BUTTON F4 or select the
Cueline
screen selection button using the
mouse to display the Cueline screen
on the monitor.
The main area of the Cueline screen
consists of a number of horizontal
tracks, with the track name down the
left hand side.
The first track is the
Cue Track
and
shows the following data from the cue:
•
MEMORY NUMBER
•
MEMORY TYPE
•
INFORMATION
•
TRIGGER
The second track is the
Special Track
and is used to show the jump, loop and
macro trigger information programmed
in the Memory Stack. For further
details see chapter 7.
The third track is the
Time Track
and
shows the duration of each cue.
The 8 tracks labelled
Part 1 .. Part 8
are used to display the timing
information for each cue in a graphical
format (essentially the delay, fade and
dwell times).
The timing information for all memory
types (except multi-part scenes) is
displayed in the
Part 1 Track
.
The timing data for each programmed
part of a multi-part scene is shown in
the corresponding track (Part 1 of the
cue in displayed in the
Part 1 Track
etc.).
At the bottom of the Cueline screen are
the following soft buttons and a scroll
bar which can be selected using the
mouse:
•
ZOOM IN
•
ZOOM OUT
•
GO PREVIOUS
•
PAUSE
•
GO
•
DISPLAY MODE
The Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons, in
conjunction with the scroll bar, allow
different parts of the Cueline screen to
be viewed at various magnifications.
The Go, Pause and Go Previous soft
buttons perform the same functions as
those on the front panel.
The Display Mode Button (equivalent
to SCREEN FUNCTION BUTTON F7),
toggles between
Stay
and
Follow
.
When
Stay
is selected - the red
Cueline will eventually move off the
right hand side of the screen as the
show progresses.
When
Follow
is selected - the red
Cueline is displayed in the centre of
the screen and the tracks move from
right to left behind it. This mode is
recommended when running the show
as the current memory is always on
display in the centre of the screen.
A green highlight bar (column) is
displayed on the cue currently being
output. The ‘Cueline’ itself (a vertical
red line), indicates the progress
through the current cue.
A yellow highlight bar (column) is
displayed on the next cue to be output.
When the Display Mode button is set to
Stay
, the selected cue can be identified
by the red boxes displayed in the
memory track(s). These boxes are
used as handles for adjusting transition
times (see later).
All the programmed cues, including
Memory Zero, are displayed on the
Cueline screen.
It may be necessary to zoom in using
the soft button to see all the cues on
the screen at the same time.
Unprogrammed cues are not displayed
on the Cueline screen.
