MagicQ User Manual 94 Version 1.4.9.0
To view a recorded Cue, press the SELECT button for the Playback, and then press CUE to open the Cue
Window.
The Cue Window is very similar to the Programmer Window - it has the same views for Levels, Timing
and FX.
10.4.1 Levels
All active channels in the programmer are transferred into the Cue. Thus if "Activation by Head" is in use
then all the attributes of activated heads will be stored.
If the channel level was set using a Palette, then that is also recorded so that the Cue can keep track of
changes to the Palette. When you subsequently change the Palette the changes will be reflected in the
Cue.
10.4.2 Timing
The timing information in the programmer is copied into the Cue. Cue timing can be set up before or after
the Cue is recorded.
Timing information for channels consists of two types:
General Times: stored for each type of attribute (Int In, Int Out, Position, Colour, Beam)
Individual Times: stored on an individual channel basis
All Cues have General Times whereas Individual Times are optional. When a Cue has Individual Times
then these override the General Times. Cues can have Individual Times set for only certain heads or
attributes – in this case Individual Times will be used for those heads and attributes, whilst the General
Times will be used for all other heads and attributes.
Timing information for the fade in and out of FX is configured in the FX view.
10.4.3 FX
The Cue stores FX information for each of the FX that is in the programmer.
10.5 Split Cue Times
It is possible to add Split Cue times (different times to different heads) both before a Cue is programmed
(in the Programmer Window) and afterwards in the Cue Window.
Split times can be added by playing back Palettes with time or by directly editing the Times in the
Programmer or Cue Windows.
In both the Programmer and the Cue Window the View Times has two views – View Simple and View
Advanced. View Simple is used for simple changes to times including entering split times across the
selected heads. View Advanced is used for editing attribute times for a particular head one by one.
