Controlling Fixtures from Cues
Cues contain recorded parameter values. Cues can be played back from the playbacks or from the intensity faders
when in cue mode. (Press the [CUE] mode button) or from a combination of both. The fader will control the
intensity of the instruments between a zero level and the maximum level that was recorded into the cue.
The select buttons at the bottom of the fader now act as Flash Buttons and will instantly apply the maximum
recorded intensity and activate the cue on the fader when pressed.
Highest Takes Precedence and Latest Takes Precedence
Cues can be played back by raising the faders from either of these locations. If two separate cues are playing back
intensity for the same fixture then the highest intensity being played back will be visible on the stage. This is
known as Highest Takes Precedence.
If two separate cues are playing back any of the other attributes for a fixture, Colour, Beam, or Position, the latest
one to be activated will have its contents output on the stage.
Activating Cues and Releasing Cues
Cues can be started and stopped from playing or outputting by raising and lowering the playback faders or the
cue faders. When playing we consider them "active", when not outputting we say they are "released". Cues can
released one at a time by returning their faders to the bottom of their travel or all at once from the (Action) menu
and then (Release All). This does not affect values captured by fixtures directly selected.. These, if being output,
will only stop being output when (Clear) is pressed.
Controlling Intensity
Intensity for a selected fixture can be controlled directly from the instrument or group faders, from the intensity
window or from the home screen 0% and 100% buttons.
Using Instrument Faders
As we have seen, moving one or more of the multifunction faders while in intensity mode will set intensity to a
level. The intensity level of a whole group can be adjusted or set, when in group mode (press the [GRP] mode
button).
Intensity Window
Intensity can also be controlled from the Intensity window. Go to the Home Screen and select the Intensity
button.
