Working with Multiple Cue Lists 293

Using Record Only

[Record Only] can be used to create a new cue list instead of [Record]. [Record Only] stores only

manual data to the specified cue.

To record to a new cue list press:

[Record Only] <Cue> [2] [/] [5] [Enter] - this will create cue list 2 and will record all manual data

to cue 5 in that cue list.

The cue list display will change to show only data from cue list 2. Any cues recorded after this will

automatically record to cue list 2 until another cue list is specified or the selected cue changes the

cue list.

Make Manual

This softkey can be used to convert live cue or submaster data into manual values, allowing them to

be included in the [Record Only] operation. Therefore data from other cues or lists can be selectively

converted to manual data and then stored to another cue/list using [Record Only].

For more information on {Make Manual}, see Using {Make Manual} (on page303).

Using Assert

Note: There are two [Assert] buttons. This section uses the [Assert] button that is located

in the main control keypad.

By default, channel parameters only respond to move instructions during playback . The [Assert]

function allows tracked or blocked data from a cue to be replayed, even when another cue list has

taken control of that channel/ parameter (see Cue List Ownership (on page16)).

Assert can be applied to cues, cue parts, channels, channel parameters, or to entire cue lists. Asser-

ted channels will play back their tracked and blocked values, regardless of cue list ownership, when

the associated cue is replayed.

At a Cue Level

When applied at a cue level, [Assert] ensures that alldata in the cue, both moves and tracks, will be

played back at their stored values.

To place an assert on a cue:

[Cue] [x] [/] [y] [Assert] [Enter] - the cue will assert all of its channels upon playback. An “A”

will be displayed in the “A” column of the cue attributes (cue index, playback status, and so

on); indicating the cue has been asserted.

Assert can also be used from the command line to manually replay portions of a cue without having

to replay the entire cue. Assert in this mode can only be used with cues that are currently active.

To place an assert on a portion of a cue:

[Group] [6] [Assert] [Enter] - asserts the instructions for the channels in group 6 in cue 4.

This would then need to be stored using either [Record] or [Update].
