Cue triggers
Each cue have a trigger. This is what makes the cue run. There are several triggers:
Go
- The cue only triggers when it gets a Go command.
Time
- When you select Time, then you need to specify the time in the Trig Time column. The time you set will
begin to count down when the previous cue is triggered.
Follow
- A follow cue will trigger when the previous cue is done with all the fades.

options in the "Trig Time" column. The options called "Snd" and then a number is different set frequencies. You

Protect a cue
You can protect your cues from tracking values changing the look of the cue.
There's a protected column in the Cue view. This will draw a white line above the cue to indicate that tracking
stops here.
A protected cue functions as a "block" or "mark" cue. This means that it will assert values (including tracked values)
from the cue, when you run it.
If you run backwards out of a protected cue, then fixtures will fade back to the values they had in the previous cues.
If this is a tracked value then it' will use the fade time from the cue where they originally got the values. E.g. Fixture
1 get s a values of 100% in cue 1 and 50% in cue 2 (fade time 5 seconds). You also have cue 3 (fade time 1
second) with no changes for fixture 1. Then you store cue 4 with fixture 1 at 0% and a fade time of 0 seconds. Cue
4 is a protected cue. If you are in cue 4 and press
2) and it'll use the fade time from cue 2. So other fixtures stored in cue 3 will use the fade time from cue 3 but
Fixture 1, that have tracked values, will use 5 seconds.

minute fade time. You just need to be in cue 10, so you would like to overwrite the cue fade:
