Cue List Execution

Edward Updated by Edward

The “Cue List Editor” window provides convenient controls to allow you to run and test a show. The controls on the bottom right of the grid operate the same as the buttons in the Side Bar Cue List of the Main Display. If the show you are working on has only one cue list there is no reason to use any of the additional playbacks and you can run your entire show from the cue list editor window. For more about cue list playbacks, see section Cue Playbacks.

 

Go

This will execute the next cue in the active cue list. If there is no current cue active the “Go” button will execute the first cue in the list. As soon as this button is pressed, the cue will start and its progress will be displayed in the status field of the cue.

 

NEO Notes & Tips: If the cue is triggered normally by some external event, such as a timecode, then the “Go” will override this and execute the cue immediately.

Stop

This will stop the execution of the cue immediately. Any fades or waits will terminate and the current lighting state will be maintained. Also, this will stop the next cue from being executed regardless of its trigger.

 

Back

The “Back” button will execute the previous cue and terminate the current cue.

 

Reset

This button resets the entire cue list and sets the current cue to nothing. Pressing the “Go” after a reset will cause the first cue to start. Resetting the cue can be thought of as a “rewind to beginning” function. This will also release all the channels from cue control.

 

Run Cue/Goto Cue

The “Run Cue” button allows you to execute a cue out of order.  Select the cue to be run and either click the button or select from the additional options:

 

Run Cue – Same as the main button.  The selected cue will be run using the fade time(s) recorded into the cue.

 

 Goto Cue – Run the cue using the “Default GOTO Time” set in the “Show Defaults” tab of “System Properties”.  The default goto time is 1 second but can be modified.  This is a way to execute a cue that normally has a long fade time quickly.

 

Goto cues with double click or button press – This is a toggle and when set, changes the main button legend to “Goto Cue”.  In addition to running a cue by selecting it and using the button, you can double click on a cue’s Status field to start the operation.
