Recording Cues in the Preview Display
Recording a cue in the Preview display allows you to create a cue without
affecting the current look on stage. It is sometimes referred to as recording
"in the blind".
It is important to realize that the [RECORD CUE] key is not used for cues
that are recorded blind; blind cues are automatically recorded as they are
made. If you do use the [RECORD CUE] key, the active stage levels will
be recorded, not the blind levels.
Cues can be created using the same attributes as when recording live.
Follow the example steps below to record a simple blind cue in Preview:
Procedure: Notes:
1. Press [PREVIEW]
2. Press (SelCue) [2] [ENTER] Or press [CUE] [2] [ENTER]
3. Press [25] [THRU] [48] Selects channels to be
recorded
4. Press [AT] [50] Cue is automatically recorded
as you enter levels
Follow the example below to record a blind cue with a single up/down fade
time in Preview:
Procedure: Notes:
1. Press [PREVIEW]
2. Press (SelCue) [4] [ENTER] Or press [CUE] [4] [ENTER]
3. Press [68] [THRU] [72] Selects channels to be
recorded
4. Press [AT] [66] Cue is automatically recorded
as you enter levels
5. Press [TIME] [61] [ENTER] Adds up/down fade time of 61
sec. (displayed as 1:01 min.)
Cues can also be created blind from the Tracksheet and Cuesheet
displays. (however, only cue attributes and not channel levels can be
recorded in the Cuesheet display.)
