About Single Cue List
A cue is a record target comprised of channels with associated parameter data, discrete
(channel/parameter level) timing, cue timing, and cue attributes (such as preheat, follow or
hang instructions).
When cues are created, they are stored in a cue list.
By default, recording cues will result in a single cue list, identified as cue list 1.
While other cue lists can be recorded in Eos, this section deals primarily with working in a
single cue list.
Multiple cue lists are not available on Element 2.
For more information on multiple cue lists, see
About Working With Multiple Cue Lists (on
page340)
Basic Cueing
In Setup, you determine if Eos will operate in a Cue Only or Tracking mode. See
Tracking vs.
Cue Only (on page6)
By default, the system is set to tracking, therefore this section primarily
addresses working in tracking mode. The current mode is displayed in the upper left corner of
the live/blind display. It is important to know which mode you are working in, as it impacts
how cues are edited.
If your console is set in Track mode (default), changes move forward through the cue list
until a block or a move instruction is encountered.
If your console is set in Cue Only mode, changes to cues have no impact on subsequent
cue data.
Cue Numbering
Cues can be numbered from 0.001 - 9999.999. You can have up to 10,000 cues.
Eos provides you with multiple ways to number your cues. The most common methods are
listed below:
After pressing record, enter a cue number which can be a whole number (1) or a decimal
number (1.1).
After pressing record, rather than entering a cue number you may press [Next], which
will automatically number the cue with the next sequential number in the same cue list.
For example, the current cue is numbered cue 1.1, pressing [Record] [Next] will
automatically number the new cue 1.2.
When recording decimal cues, it is not necessary to specify the leading cue number if a
cue has already been recorded. For example, if the current cue is numbered 5, when you
enter the next record command, you can just enter [.] [5] to record cue 5.5.
Whole numbered cue - [Next] increments the next whole numbered cue.
Tenths numbered cue (.1) - [Next] increments in tenths.
Hundredths (.01) numbered cue - [Next] increments in hundredths.
Thousandths (.001) numbered cue - [Next] increments in thousandths.
Recording Cues in Live
When using [Record], all parameters of any fixtures that have non-home values, either from
manual control, other cues, or submaster playback are stored in the target cue.
