It may be useful to temporarily disable cue cross-fades (e.g., during rehear-
sals). This can be done by un-checking this item.
4.4.5.2.7 Preview
The snapshot/cue preview mode can be activated either by a hardware key or
by clicking on the button located in the top right corner of the cue list window.

is compared to the current audio settings. If there is a difference, Vistonics
shows both values at the same time, using a pink graphical indication. When
pressing the dedicated snapshot keys above the touch pad, the preview mode
is automatically activated until the same key is pressed again.

Control’ commands are supported: Go, Stop, Resume, Load, Reset, Standby+,
Standby–, Sequence+, Sequence–.

ID is set in the ‘Option: snapshot Automation’ menu.
