Programming Cues
Once you have set up a look that you like, by selecting fixtures and adjusting their
parameters as described in the previous chapter, you can then record that state into a cue.
To see the cues being recorded it is recommended that the
Cue Stack Window is
displayed on one of the monitor screens.
Selecting a Cue Stack
Cues on the Frog 2 can be programmed into any of the 1000 cue stacks.
Select the required page using the PAGE+ and PAGE- buttons.
Press the Stack SELECT button above the cue stack you wish to program. The LED in
the SELECT button is lit to indicate that it is the active cue stack.
Recording a Cue
Having selected a cue stack into which to program your cues, as described above, ensure
that your stage look is correct and all the required fixture parameters have been tagged.
To record the tagged parameters into the next available cue on the selected cue stack,
simply enter the following command:
RECORD ENTER
To name the cue at the time of recording simply enter the command:
RECORD SET <enter name of cue> ENTER
If you wish to record the fixture data to a particular cue in the selected stack, rather than
the next available cue, then enter the following command:
RECORD N ENTER (N = Cue Number)
If you wish to record the fixture data to a particular cue stack and cue number, rather than
the next available cue on the selected stack, then enter the following command:
RECORD S/C ENTER (S = Stack No, C = Cue Number)
After recording a cue, the command line on the touch screen is cleared, the fixture
parameters are automatically untagged, but the fixtures remain selected.
Subsequent cues can then be set up and recorded in a similar way.
As you become more experienced with the desk, you will find the most efficient way of
programming cues into cue stacks.
Note – Programming Cues
The Frog 2 desk operates primarily as a tracking console. This means that if a parameter
is programmed in one cue, it will track through all subsequent cues until it is programmed
to do something else. If you program cue stacks sequentially, you shouldn’t have to worry
too much about tracking, as long as you ensure that you tag any parameters you wish to
be recorded in the cue you are working on.
