Recording a Theatre style Cue Stack
Theatre Mode
When the console is in "Theatre" mode (settings, theatre mode) recording conservative cues to a playback will
result in a cue stack of cues with a default fade time of 3 seconds. Additionally:
 Playback 1 will default to a theatre style cue stack with fade timing between each cue (default 3).
Consecutive cues recoded to the playback will be numbered sequentially.
 Playback 2 will become a manual Crossfader. Cues can then be run by moving playback fader 2 up and
down and the fade time of the cue will follow the time it takes to move the fader from one end of the
faders travel to the other.
 The physical master go button in the lower right of the console will only operate on playback 1, in this
mode and will run any fade timing assigned to the cues on playback 1.
 The go button in the cue stack window can also be used. All other cue stacks in theatre mode will need to
be run from this go button location as the master go button will be dedicated to playback 1.
 The pause button will not work in this configuration.
 The release button on the cues stack screen is the only way to release a theatre cue stack on playback 1
with the console in theatre mode. Lowering the playback fader will not release the playback, unlike other
cue stack or chase faders.
Changing a Chase to a Cue Stack
If you are not in theatre mode recording multiple cues to a cue stack will create a chase. To change a chase to a
cue stack of individual cues, select the option "change to cue stack" from the main menu. Additional cues
recorded will now result in individual cues with a default fade time of 3 seconds.
