Cue List Properties

To Modify Cue List Properties

There are three ways to get the Cue List Properties dialog box up:

  1. Right-click on the Cue List you want to change in Cue List Directory and select Properties.

  2. Press [VIEW] or [V] then [S9] to select Cue Lists, then [S1] to select the desired list. Press [ENTER] to display the dialog box.

  3. Press [VIEW] the [SELECT] button over the cue list playback.

Auto Run

If Auto Run is on this Cue List will execute its lowest-numbered cue automatically when Marquee starts or the show is loaded.

Reset to Start on Release

When the cue list is Released, the cue list pointer will go to the first cue.

HTP

The Cue List will act on a Highest Value Takes Precedence (HTP) basis. Intensity Attributes will use the highest level of all HTP or LTP Cue Lists attempting to write to it using equal or lesser priority.

Example: If fixture one is set 50% on Cue List 1 (HTP) and then later Cue List 2 (HTP or LTP) sets it to 25%, fixture one will stay at 50%. This is only true if both are at the same Priority.

Locked For Editing

If this is checked the Cue List may not be modified. The Cue List Toolbar will display the locked icon. Clicking this icon turns on and off this feature.

Priority

 

The topic called Priorities that explains how there are 100 different priorities (with #1 being the highest). By default, new cue lists have a priority of 10.

 

Attributes

The Attributes dialog box determine what attribute families will be recorded by default in cues on this Cue List. During each record operation, you can alter these defaults in the Record dialog box. The next time you open the Record dialog box, the attribute filtering will revert to the settings in the Cue List Properties. Selecting [None] will clear all check marks, where selecting [All] will add checks to all attribute families. If you double press any one attribute family, it will turn that one on and all others off (soloing it).

SMPTE

If SMPTE is not set to None, this Cue List can have SMPTE Time Code associated with it and will respond to SMPTE time. A SMPTE column will appear in the cue list. You can use the Blue Box to add SMPTE time stamps to cue or use the SMPTE Learn Tool. The SMPTE time from the source is displayed in the Status Bubbles when the cue list is Selected.  Two external SMPTE devices, four internal SMPTE clocks and Media Player SMPTE is supported. (note: Internal SMPTE 1 through 4 are interfaces 101 through 104 in the HC.SMPTEStart() script.

SMPTE Offset

If you pre-program a song using SMPTE, but later find that on-site the audio guy has re-stripped the SMPTE on the track (as they often do), you can offset the entire cue list using this value. For example, if you programmed your song starting at SMPTE time 1:00:01.00 and when you hear the first beat of the track the time now reads 2:00:01.00, you would enter a value of 1:00:00.00 in this field and then not have to adjust any cues.

Suppress MIB (Move In Black)

If you check this option, the Cue List will not use Move In Black. You still have the option to edit the Cue Action with the Blue Box to Use MIB.

Note:

Where by default this Cue Action check box says Suppress MIB, when the entire cue list is told to Suppress MIB, the Cue Action check box is labeled Use MIB.

Midi Show Control (MSC) Out

Check off this option if you have the optional MIDI / SMPTE Interface and want to transmit MSC so other devices follow this cue list. You may need to label your cue list so that it stars with a number (i.e. "1 - Main") as MSC uses numbered cue lists. Your console will need the optional MIDI/SMPTE hardware to use this feature. For more information, see the topic MIDI Show Control.

Override Value in Show Options

Cue Lists will inherit options set in Show Options. If you want to override specific settings, click the check box on the left hand side and set its custom value on the right hand side. For more information on each option, see Show Options.
