- 3 - CUE LIST
A cue list (or qlist) is an organised group of cues. Each cue contains information on the status of one or
more parameters belonging to one or more xtures and the information relating to its trend in time.
Each cue list can be congured according to four dierent modes: Qlist, Chase, Sequence or Live. De-
pending on the mode, the way in which the cues are triggered and the calculation of their timing chang-
es.
3.1 QLIST MODE
The evolution of a cue in time is determined by the trigger and evolves according to the times inserted.
Delay, Fade-in, Wait e Fade-out. Cues are triggered either by pressing the playback key which controls it
or due to a predened event on one of the input ports.
• Delay: time between the trigger and actual activation of the cue
• Fade-in: fade in time of the cue
• Wait: time between the trigger and fade out
• Fade-out: fade out time
IMPORTANT: Delay+Fade-in and Wait+Faid+out times dene two time lines and are not in sequence
Time evolution of a cue which has received a trigger:
• At the Delay stage, the LTP e HTP attributes set at values other than zero, start to move towards the
nal value will reach it in a time equal to the Fade-in.
• At the Wait stage, the LTP e HTP set at zero or Empty start to move towards zero and will reach it in a
time equal to the Fade-out.
• At the Delay+Fade-in stage, the entrance stage of the cue is completed (all LTP and HTP attributes
with values other than zero and not Empty will have reached the nal value)
• At the Wait+Fade-out stage, all the HTP attributes with values other than zero and not Empty will
have completed the fade-out and will be at zero value.
• Once the fade-in is completed, if the Link next cue button is active, the next cue will automatically
receive a trigger; otherwise, all outputs remain the same until the following trigger arrives.
Wait and Fade-out times are optional; if not inserted, they are considered to be equal to Delay and Fade-
out times.
