6.1 Principles
The term ‘Cue’ traditionally refers to a set lighting pattern that is
‘faded in’ by moving a Cue Fader. On a conventional lighting
console the Cue Fader fades in a pattern of preset channel levels.
The Navigator console takes this concept further, by also
supporting Cue Sequences — also known as ‘Chases’ — and Cue
Preset Focuses: these topics are covered in the next two sections of
this manual.
6.1.1 Cue Scrolling
Although the Navigator console has 240 Cues it only has 12 Cue
Faders on the Preset. To allow all the Cues to be controlled a
technique known as ‘scrolling’ is used; this operates in a similar
manner to Channel Scrolling — see section 5.1.1. Scrolling can be
thought of as moving a small ‘window’ over a ‘picture’; only a
small part can be viewed at a time, but by moving the ‘window’
the whole ‘picture’ can be viewed, albeit piece-by-piece.
When controlling Cues the scroll ‘window’ is the Cue Faders, and
the ‘picture’ is the 240 Cues. The position of the ‘window’ over the
‘picture’ is set by the Cue Scroll, which is rotated clockwise or
anti-clockwise to increment or decrement the position. This
determines the number of the Cue controlled by the left-hand Cue
Fader; the other Cue Faders control Cues that are sequentially
numbered from this number.
The number of the Cue controlled by the left-hand Cue Fader is
displayed on the bottom-line of the left-hand LCD panel:
Note If any of the Cue Faders are up when the Cue Scroll is operated,
they continue to control their current Cue, indicated by the LED in
the Cue Flash button flashing. Once a Cue Fader is moved to off
the Cue Fader then controls the Cue as determined by the Cue
Scroll.
