Cue List Display
A Cue is a combination of a desk snapshot, various types of events and some text notes. The list allows
the snapshots to be combined with transmitted events and arranged into a running order.
The Cue List is stored in the current Show. The list comprises columns for Cue Number (or Timecode),
Cue Name, Desk Snapshot status (DESK), MIDI event status (MIDI), and GPIO, HiQnet and Blackout event
status (GPIO/misc).
The oversize entry with a yellow border, in the centre of the list, represents the currently selected Cue (this
cue is not necessarily the currently recalled cue). Within the selected Cue is also an additional space that
displays text notes that can be entered to give information about what the Cue does.
The columns of the list are able to display various icons that represent the various types of event that are
possible to trigger, or be triggered by, the cues:
Snapshot icon: this is displayed in all Cues to represent the presence of the desk snapshot in the
Cue, but is greyed out if the desk snapshot is disabled locally within the Cue. It also appears greyed-out if
the Desk column has been globally disabled.
MIDI IN & OUT Icons: these icons indicate the presence of a valid MIDI event in the cue. The
blue icon represents a MIDI In event, where a MIDI message can be used to recall the cue. The red icon
represents one or more MIDI out event(s). These icons will be greyed out if the MIDI column is globally
disabled, or if the MIDI IN and/or MIDI out have been switched off in the MENU\MIDI page.
GPI/GPO/Blackout/HiQnet event icons.
Displayed in the relevant column, these icons indicate whether an incoming or an outgoing event has been
set for the Cue. If no event has been set the icon does not appear. Icons appear greyed-out if the column
is disabled. In general, blue icons indicate incoming events, and red or yellow icons indicate outgoing
events.
Global Enable/Disable control using Cue List Column heading buttons
These column headings can be touched to disable an event column (all events of that type are disabled
for the whole list) or the whole Cue List can be completely disabled by touching the Cue #/Cue Name
column heading. Pressing the column headings has a toggle disable/enable action. As with all other
parameters on the Cue List page, the states of these buttons is stored with the current Show.
<Cue List> column heading button: Enables/disables the recall of entire Cue List. If set to Off, the Cue
List is locked and Cues cannot be recalled. The scrolling of the list, and editing of events is still allowed:
only the [NEXT], [LAST] and [RECALL] keys on the surface are disabled.
<Desk> column heading button: Enables/disables the recall of desk snapshots for all Cues.
When set to off, no desk snapshots will be recalled, even if desk snapshots are switched On within
individual Cues. If a new Cue is created (e.g. by pressing STORE) whilst the Desk column is disabled, a cue
will be created which does not include any desk snapshots.
<MIDI> column heading button: Enables/disables both incoming and outgoing MIDI events for all Cues.
When set to off, no MIDI messages will be sent or received, even if the MIDI events are switched On within
individual Cues.
<GPIO/Misc> column heading button: Enables/disables both incoming GPI and outgoing GPO events
for all Cues. When set to off, no GPIO messages will be sent or received, even if the GPI or GPO events are
switched On within individual Cues. For HiQnet, no HiQnet messages will be sent, even if the HiQnet events
are switched On within individual Cues. Any blackout events set within cues will also be disabled.
