Recording a Cue / Cuelist

CueLists are used to manage sequences of Cues. They keep track of the order of Cues and the options of how they are reproduced. A CueList can have a single Cue associated with it or the entire list of Cues.

When a Cue is recorded in a Playback a Cuelist is automatically generated. LightShark adds that created Cuelist to the list of Cuelists that are stored in the Cues window.
If the playback already has a Cuelist stored in it, then the new Cue will be added to the end of that Cuelist.

The CueList stores a Cue ID and a text field for each of the Cues so that all steps can be tagged. The Cue ID and text field are displayed on the Playback screen when the list is played, this allows the user to keep track of the current Cue during the show.

RECORDING A CUELIST

Below is the process for recording a Cuelist over an empty Playback:

1. Select a fixture ( or fixture group )
   

2. Modify at least one of the parameters ( or press FIND to activate all parameters )
   

3. Press the RECORD key ( illuminated )
   

4. Select the Playback where you want to store the Cue. Doing this will create a new Cuelist and assign you a Cuelist ID with the next available Cuelist ID to the general list of Cuelists. 
   
   In addition a new Cue is created that is added to the beginning of the Cuelist and it is assigned a Cue ID with the following available Cue ID with respect to the general listing of Cues. 
   

5. Press CLEAR twice to empty the programmer.
   

6. Activate the Playback to check that everything has been recorded correctly.
