Cue properties

The Properties of each cue can be accessed by right-clicking on the cue and choosing

Cue Properties

.

The first page of the

Cue Properties

window is shown and described in the picture below.

Icon section

The

Icon

section of the

Cue Properties

window controls the visual representation in the Cue Grid. The

Cue Name is the name that shows up in the Cue Grid. The Preview Time is the time within the
animation that will be used to extract a single frame for the purpose of previewing in the Cue Grid.

Destination section

The

Destination

section controls the destination of the cue (i.e. where the cue will be routed once it is

triggered). Most users will have only a single FB3 and a single projection area, and therefore most users
can simply leave this set for the default selection (Zone 1: Scanner 1 Main).

Note that the

Destination

section will not be visible unless you have already setup projection zones or if

you have more than one FB3. Otherwise this section is hidden to prevent confusing beginner-level users.
