Cue Points
Each Title can store virtually unlimited Cue points.
CMX 3600 EDL files can be imported into the cue list from the Titles folder. When an EDL is selected, the Open button changes
to Import. If a cue point in the EDl matches one already in the Title, the cue in the Title is kept so the Cue notes are maintained.
To create a new Cue:
1 Press the Store Locate or Store Current key to use the Locate or Current Time, respectively.
2 Press the Cue key.
The Cue is placed in the Cue list sorted by increasing timecode values.
Displaying and Using Cue Points
1 Press the Cue key by itself.
The key lights when active and the Cue list displays on the TFT screen above the Master section.
2 Use the SpinKnob to scroll through the list.
The Current Cue is highlighted in the list and its value displays in the Locate Time Display.
3 Press the Loc key to locate to that Cue Point.
4 Press the Cue key to deactivate it.
Next and Previous Cues
The Next and Previous Cue keys navigate the Cue list sequentially.
Editing and Deleting Cue Points
Press the Edit key (flashes when active) to edit the Current Cue Point’s timecode and name. See “Entering and Modifying Time
Displays” on page 104 to see how to enter and modify times.
To edit the name, type the new name and press Enter on the Machine Control Panel or the keyboard. Press Edit again to exit the
mode.
To delete a highlighted Cue, press the Delete key (next to Edit) or on the computer keyboard.
If any of the Store Locate, Store Current, or Recall keys are flashing to indicate they are waiting for a destination key to be pressed,
pressing the Cue key does not display the Cue list.
