Block
When this option is selected, all the cues in the cue stack are
changed into block cues, ie programs and tags all the parameters at
the values they would normally be output at when the cue is played
back. For example:
Block
Cue 1
Cue 2
Cue 3
Cue 4
Cue 5
Cue 6
Cue 7
Cue 8
Before
Red * * Green * Blue * *
After
Red Red Red Green Green Blue Blue Blue
Unblock
When this option is selected, any parameters that are recorded at
the same value as in the previous cue are untagged, ie turns block
cues into tracked cues. For example:
Unblock
Cue 1
Cue 2
Cue 3
Cue 4
Cue 5
Cue 6
Cue 7
Cue 8
Before
Red Red Red Green Green Blue Blue Blue
After
Red * * Green * Blue * *
Intensity Mixing
This option determines whether the intensity parameters
programmed in the cues are mixed HTP (highest takes precedence)
or LTP (latest takes precedence).
Blank Cue
It is possible to insert a Blank Cue at the beginning of a cue stack
by setting the Blank Cue option to Enabled in the Cue Stack Setup
Window.
A Blank Cue is the same as the first programmed cue in the cue
stack, but with all the fixture intensity parameters set to zero. A
blank cue is referred to as Cue 0 (zero).
Master Fader
The operation of the playback fader for a cue stack is defined in the
Cue Stack Setup Window and may be one of the following options:
•
HTP Master
– Simply controls the maximum level of the
programmed HTP channels. Cues are triggered via the GO key.
This is the default option.
•
Manual Fader (2 Way)
– Press the GO button to activate the
playback. The next cue in the cue stack is automatically loaded
when the fader reaches either end of it’s travel (0% or 100%).
Moving the fader creates a dipless cross-fade between the two
cues. The fader controls the HTP levels; the LTP channels are
triggered when the fader is moved from the end stop and then
fade according to the times in the incoming cue.
•
Manual Fader (1 Way)
- Press the GO button to activate the
playback. The next cue in the cue stack is automatically loaded
when the fader reaches zero. The fader controls the HTP levels;
the LTP channels are triggered when the fader is moved from
zero and then fade according to the times defined in the
incoming cue.
