Playback Control Buttons

Edward Updated by Edward

Each playback has a set of buttons to control the execution of the assigned cue list.

 

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 starting cue number specified. As soon as this button is pressed, the cue will start, the cue progress time will start counting down the execution, and the progress indicator will show the cue progress.

 

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

 

Stop / Back

If a cue is presently executing, the first click will stop the execution of the cue immediately. Any fades or waits will suspend and the current lighting state will be maintained. This will also stop the next cue from being executed regardless of its trigger. Clicking “Go” will resume the execution. A second click will terminate the current cue and execute the previous cue.

 

If no cue is executing, the first click will execute the previous cue.

Reset

“Reset” resets the entire cue list and sets the current cue to the starting cue. Pressing “Go” after a reset will cause the start cue number to be executed.

 

Fader

The box above the playback controls contains a slider that acts as an inhibit. When a cue list is assigned to a playback, this control defaults to 100%.

Global Buttons

Select Master

Only one cue list at a time may be loaded into the master playback. However, cues from any playback may be run. Clicking this button will select the cue list currently loaded into the master playback.

This button also has a pulldown list of options as described below:

 

Set number of playbacks visible per page

The default is 5, but this may be adjusted by entering a new value in the dialog box and clicking “OK”

Execute cue lists exclusively

Click this option to only run one cue list at a time. When you click Go on a playback, any currently active cue lists will be stopped the current cue used as the outgoing cue for the new playback.

 

Disable Reset Buttons

To avoid accidentally executing the reset function in the middle of a show check the “Disable Reset” option at the bottom of the window.

 

Go Next

This button will do a “Go” on the last used playback. If no playback has been run, then the first cue of the first playback will run. When the cue list reaches the last cue in the cue list pressing the "Go Next" button will automatically advance to the next playback and start the cue list assigned to it. At any time, the order can be changed by running a cue in a different playback.

 

NEO Notes & Tips: The “Link” field of the last cue in each cue list must be set to “Stop” in order for this function to work.

This functionality allows for the setup of a playlist based on several cue lists to be run as one continuous cue list. A "special shortcut" can be assigned to this button for quick access.

 

Go All

Pressing “Go All” is the equivalent of pressing all the Go buttons for all cue playbacks at the same time.

 

Reset All

Click “Reset All” to reset all of the playbacks.

 

NEO Notes & Tips: The Go All and Reset All do not affect effects playbacks.
