MagicQ User Manual 62 Version 1.3.0.0

9.3 Cue Timing

When using Cue Timing, the timing of each cue is determined by individual Wait, Delay and Fade times for

each Cue in the Cue Stack. The MagicQ can execute multiple Cues at one time - for example a Cue Stack

could have one Cue that fades in MAC500s in green whilst another Cue fades in HPEs in red.

The Wait time affects when execution of the Cue is started. The Delay and Fade times affect how each

individual Cue is executed. The Wait time can be set to "Follow" - in this case the Cue is executed when the

last Cue finishes - i.e. Cues are executed sequentially.

Each Cue has a Next Cue - by default this is set up to be the following Cue in the Cue Stack. You can

change the Next Cue to be any of the Cues in the Cue Stack. This enables loops and sequences to be set up.

The Next Cue for the last Cue in the Cue Stack defaults to being the first Cue in the Cue Stack.

9.3.1 Cue Timing Example

To illustrate the above Cue Timing consider a Cue Stack with two Cues. When the Cue Stack starts

executing it executes the first Cue using its Delay and Fade times.

As soon as the first Cue has been started (regardless of whether the first Cue is in a Delay, Fade or Complete

stage) the next Cue in the Cue Stack will be examined to determined its Wait time.

If the Wait time on the next Cue is set to “Follow” then the Cue Stack will wait until the first Cue has

completely finished fading (i.e. all channels have reached their final values) before starting the next Cue.

If the Wait time on the next Cue is set to a time then the Cue Stack waits that time before executing the next

Cue. This time is completely independent of the first cue – the first cue may still be in Delay or Fade and

will continue until the Fade completes.

If the Halt field on the next Cue is set, then the Cue Stack waits for Go to be pressed before starting the next

Cue – otherwise it executes the next Cue using its Fade and Delay time.

9.3.2 Cue Delay and Fade times

The Delay and Fade times shown in the Cue Stack Window are properties of the Cue whilst the Wait time is

a property of the Cue Stack. Modifying the Delay and Fade times of the Cue may affect other Cue Stacks

that use the Cue.

The Delay and Fade time fields show the maximum delay and fade times used by any channel within the

Cue – so giving a summary of the maximum delay and fade of the Cue. To view the actual times of the Cue

move the cursor to the Delay or Fade field and press the View Cue soft button. This opens the Cue Window

for the selected Cue, automatically showing the Cue Times.

Delay and fade times can be entered directly in the Cue Stack Window – note however that this will set the

times for all attributes. If you wish to change just the times for Position, Beam or Colour then these should

be set up in the Cue Window, Simple View for general times or Cue Window, Advanced View for channel

specific times.

Split intensity in/out times can be entered into the Cue Stack Window in the Delay and Fade fields using

/. For example, 2/3 entered in the Fade field will produce an in fade of 2 seconds and an out fade of 3
