Cue Programming
The Basic Procedure
A Cue may include any or all of the following elements:
 HTP Channel Levels,
 Lamp Settings,
 Up to three Sequences.
As each of these elements is stored separately within the Cue, it is not
necessary to program all of them at the same time. To start with, you may
wish to create a basic Cue, which can then be added to at a later stage.
For this reason, there are two different procedures — ‘Creating a New
Cue’ and ‘Modifying or Adding to an existing Cue’ (Lamps and HTP).
There are 2 modes for programming cues; Program and WYSIWYG (What
You See Is What You Get). You can switch between these modes by
changing the console mode (see page 98). The active mode is shown in
the root menu screen (upper right corner).

Program
All channels of controlled and included lamps will be stored
in the cue except channels with “none” value (---). The
channels can contain strait levels, a colour index, a beam
index, position index or effect index.
WYSIWYG
All channels of controlled and included lamps will be stored
in the cue as strait levels (a none value get its latest dmx
level). The channels contain strait levels or an effect index.
You’ll program a complete “look” independently of the
order of playback.
REMARK: Effects will always be stored as a reference to the effect plus its
base level.
HELPFUL HINTS
Use the program mode if you don’t want to store everything in the cue.
(E.g. If the colour has to stay, set in the cue or setting before, than store
the colour channels as “none” (---) values.
Use the WYSIWYG mode to make a snapshot of what you see on the
stage (required lamps has to be selected). Very useful in theatre.
Use the lamp view screen on the HUD monitor to view what you’re
programming and to preview your cue. (see HUD screen page 107)
Creating a New Cue
 Set-up the Lamps and/ or HTP Channels as required:
For Lamps... refer to the
procedures on pages 24 to 28.
Remember that all selected
Lamps, whether in Controlled or
Included mode, will be stored in
the Cue.
Also, remember that you need
not program all Lamp Attributes
at this stage. For example, you
may wish to just set Positions
and Intensities for now, and
decide on Colours and Beams
later on.
For HTP Channels... refer to
the procedure on page 14.
Remember, that only ‘controlled’
HTP Channels will be stored in
the Cue.
 Choose the mode you want to program in (Program or WYSIWYG)
 Decide on which Cue you wish to save these settings to, and
ensure that this Cue is available on one of the Cue Playbacks.
If not, select the appropriate Cue Page or Bookmark Page (see
page 44).
