Working with a Single Cue List 167
Recording and Editing Cues from Blind
When you press blind, the selected cue will be displayed. You can make changes to cues in the
blind display using either the summary, table, or spreadsheet views.
If changes are made in the blind display to an active cue, these changes will not impact the current
stage state. To make blind changes active you can press [Assert] & {Load} button for the fader
associated with the cue.
Move instructions can be removed from a cue by selecting the channel and pressing [At] [Enter].
This allows all values from the previous cue to track into the current cue. You can also use this
command for specific parameters as well.
For Example:
Suppose you are in blind cue 5 and you make changes to channels 1-5:
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> [Iris] [3] [5] [Enter]
Intensity goes to 50% and Iris to 35%. You decide to remove the Iris instruction:
• [Iris] [At] [Enter]
The Iris value from the previous cue tracks in. Then you remove the intensity change as
well:
• [Intensity] [At] [Enter]
All values from the previous cue track in.
Instead of using multiple commands, you can, in one command, return the channels to their
values from the previous cue:
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [Enter]
The impact of blind edits on subsequent cues is determined by the default setting of Track/Cue Only
mode. Obviously in track mode any changes will track forward until the next move instruction,
unless [Cue only] is pressed. In cue only mode any changes will apply only to the selected cue. If
you want values to track forward, the [Track] button will allow it. The track/cue only instruction must
be applied when a value is entered.
N o t e : Edits in blind take effect immediately. [Record] or [Update] commands do not work
in blind. Therefore, editing in blind is a fast and effective way to make specific
changes to show data.
