MagicQ User Manual 60 Version 1.3.0.0
Including of Cues is an easy way to edit Cues. You can also use the Record Options to specify that
only part of the Cue should be included into the programmer – for example only selected heads or only
certain attributes. Press SHIFT and INCLUDE to get the options.
8.8.1 Including Cues at a specified level
By default Include loads the Cue into the programmer at 100%. It is possible to modify this action
using the keypad to use selected levels.
To include a Playback or Cue at a particular level (e.g. 40%), press INCLUDE, type @ 40 and select
the Playback or Cue to include.
To include a playback at its current level press INCLUDE, type @ and press the Select button of the
playback.
8.9 Editing Cues
Cues can be edited using INCLUDE and UPDATE.
First, clear the Programmer, then include the required Cue back into the Programmer. Modify the
required values in the Programmer and then use Update to re-record the Cue.
You can include multiple Cues into the programmer. When you press UPDATE, the last Cue that you
included will be modified.
8.10 Updating a Cue with the contents of the programmer.
You can quickly and easily merge the contents of the programmer into current Cue on a Playback by
holding the SELECT button for the playback and pressing RECORD.
8.11 Making changes to multiple Cues
Changes can be made to multiple Cues using the REC MERGE and REC REMOVE record options to
specify a change in the programmer which is then merged with or removed from a number of Cues.
For example, to remove all the pan and tilt information for a group of heads from all the Cues in a Cue
Stack on a particular playback.
Clear the programmer.
Select the heads and modify the pan and tilt attributes.
Open the Cue Stack Window and select the playback with the Cue Stack to modify.
In the Cue Window, use cursor keys to select all the Cues (PG LEFT, HOME, SHIFT+END).
Press and hold RECORD and select REC REMOVE record option.
Press ENTER.
