6.4 Copy, Move and Link

6.4.1 Copying or moving a cue

Using the Copy/Move/Link button you can make a copy of an existing

cue, move it to a new playback, or create a new playback which is

linked to the existing playback. You can copy, move or link multiple

playbacks (which may be cues, chases or cue lists) in one operation.

Move is useful for tidying up the console. Linked cues are handy if

you want a cue to appear on more than one page for ease of

programming; also the linked cue will have the same cue information

in it, but can have different timings and playback options.

1> Press the blue Copy button.

2> Select [Copy], [Move] or [Link]. Pressing the Copy button again

will also toggle these options.

3> Press the Swop button of the cue you want to copy/move/link.

You can select a range of playbacks by holding the first button

while pressing the last in the range.

4> Press the empty Swop button where you want it to go.

• The Menu Latch button latches the Copy/Move/Link menu, so

you can keep copying, moving or linking things without having

to keep pressing the Copy button. Press Exit to unlatch.

• [Retain Layout] or [Bunch Up] is used when copying a group of

cues with empty playbacks in the group – you can either keep

the empty playbacks, or bunch up the used playbacks together.

• When in Copy mode, option [Copy Legends] can be changed to

[Don’t copy legends] so that the copied cues are given default

legends.

• When in Move mode, [Swap Items if Required] will attempt to

reposition any existing playbacks which are in the way of the

move. This is useful when rearranging playbacks on a page

which is nearly full.

6.5 Delete

6.5.1 Deleting a cue

To delete a cue:

1> Press the blue Delete button.

2> Press the Swop button of the cue you want to delete.

3> Press the Swop button again to confirm the delete.

• Press ML Menu to keep the delete mode active. You can keep

deleting using steps 2 and 3 without having to keep pressing

the Delete button. Press Exit to leave latched delete mode.

6.6 Timing

The Pearl allows a wide variety of timing functions to be set.
