Follow enables you to program cues to run automatically. A Follow time on a cue is the length of time the system pauses after the cue’s activation before automatically starting the next cue. A Follow uses the next cue on the Cue List, unless the cue with the follow time is Linked to a different cue number.
Follow cues are shown indented on the cue list as a visual reminder that they don't need to be executed by the board operator:
Using the Blue Box, highlight the Action cell for the cue that is going to trigger the follow and press [EDIT]
Choose a Follow type from the drop-down list box.
Wait for Go: Normal cue - runs fade and stops waiting for the operator to press Go again.
Follow After Fade: the follow will happen after the longest fade time of the cue is complete. If you change the fade time, you will not have to adjust the follow time.
Follow In Time: After pressing GO, the follow to the next cue happens after a time you specify.
Follow Immediate: The follow happens exactly as the cue is executed (follow in 0 time).
If you selected Follow In Time, enter a time in the Follow Time text box.
Click press Enter to close the dialog box and complete the action.
If you start a command line with [CUE] the softkeys change to Cue specific functions:
Typing [CUE][5] [S2 - FOLLOW] [ENTER] allow you to apply a Follow After Fade on Cue 5. [CUE][5] [S2 - FOLLOW] [10] [ENTER] sets Cue 5 to Follow In a Time of 10 seconds to the next cue. If the cue already has a Follow set (any type of Follow), typing [CUE][5] [S2 - FOLLOW] [ENTER] will clear the follow (making it Wait for Go). If you omit the Cue Number, the current cue number will be used.
