Indication of Cue Status
The HTP go button LED will light continuously whilst the Cue is active.
A Cue is deemed to be active when:
 the Cue Playback Fader (or Digital Fader) has manual control of
HTP Channel levels and the fader is currently above zero,
 an AutoFade is in progress,
 an AutoFade is halted and not complete.
The LTP go button LED will flash whilst an AutoFade is in progress.
Swap & Add Functions
Swap and Add are two special functions that are available when one Cue
is active and is being replayed manually.
Swap
pressing the LTP go / swap button for a non- active Cue,
replaces the HTP Channel levels (including Lamp Intensities)
of the active Cue with those programmed for the non- active
Cue.
Add
pressing the HTP go / add button for a non- active Cue, adds
the HTP Channel levels (including Lamp Intensities) of the non-
active Cue to those in the active Cue. Any conflicting levels are
handled on a highest- takes- precedence basis.
Both of these functions have a temporary effect depending on the cue
flash button mode.
Cue Flash Button Modes
The Cue HTP go/add buttons can be programmed to provide Flash,
Toggle and Kill functions to selected cues. These modes function as
follows:
Flash
In this mode the button will output the cue whilst it is being held
down. This is often considered the normal mode of operation.
Toggle
In this mode the button will lock on allowing the button to be
released without the output disappearing. Subsequent presses
of the button will alternatively clear and set the output.
Kill
This is similar to toggle in that pressing any flash button will
cause it to lock on and it may then be released. When another
go/add flash button is pressed the previously locked on button
will clear and the new one lock on. This function can be
particularly useful if used in conjunction with auto fading as it
allows cross-fading between one cue and another.
Setting the Cue Flash Modes
Using the Main Keypad Control area of the console press Cue, followed by
the cue number, followed by next, next, next. The LCD will now be
