Cues - Martin Ether2DMX8 User Manual

Cues

The Ether2DMX8 router has the ability to store 99 cues. A cue is a snapshot of the current levels
(4096 channels) on all 8 DMX ports.
It is not possible to record streaming DMX data.
However the router allows to assign fade and hold times to the cues, and multiple cues can be linked
to each other to create a simple cuelist.
Only one cue can be played back at any given time. Playing back a cue will block any other DMX
processing until the cue is stopped.
Switch Inputs can be linked to cues, allowing the Ether2DMX8 router to function as a simple playback
device for installations, trade show booth or a simple retail environment.
It is also possible to assign a cue to be run on startup of the router.
Cues have many different uses. Some examples are:
Standalone playback
Backup Cues in case of controller failure
Emergency Lighting Cue for a fire alarm via the switch inputs
Automatic Lamp Strike during system power on
Lighting cue without the need for a lighting console to be turned on
Lighting cues triggered by standard light switches
