An Overview of Cues
What is a Cue?
In theatrical lighting, the term ‘Cue’ traditionally refers to a set lighting
pattern or scene.
VENTURA has the ability to memorize the levels of its 1000 Channels as a
Cue, thus allowing a set pattern of Lamp Intensities, Attributes and/ or HTP
Channels to be stored. In addition, up to three Sequences can be assigned
to a Cue.
Each Cue can then be recalled or ‘played back’ by using the Playback
Control Area.
HELPFUL HINT
You may find it helpful to understand the principles of recalling and
previewing Cues before starting to learn about a Cue programming. Please
read ‘Previewing A Cue’ from page 50 onwards.
Cue Numbering
Cues in VENTURA’s memory are held in a sequential ‘list’ with each
‘position’ in the list being identified by numbers.
