Recording cues with Link and Follow

When you record a cue, it automatically becomes part of the Cue List. The

Cue List is a list of all cues, organized in numeric sequence. Normally,

when you press [Go] to execute cues, Insight 2x plays them back in the

sequence in which they appear in the Cue List. [Link] allows you to modify

the sequence in which cues play back. [Follow] allows you to play back

multiple cues automatically.

Link

Normally, pressing [Go] plays back cues in the sequence indicated on the

Cue List. [Link] allows you to play back cues out of sequence by linking

them together. For example if you link cue 6 to cue 2, then play cue 6,

pressing [Go] plays cue 2.

Follow these steps to record a linked cue.

Note: You can also link cues to macros. For more information on linking

cues to macros, see page 170 in Chapter 15, Working with macros.

[Follow] allows you to play a series of cues automatically. The [Follow]

time indicates how long the console waits after the cue starts before the

next cue runs. [Follow] plays back the next cue on the Cue List unless you

use [Link] to specify a different sequence.

Follow times may be expressed in minutes and seconds, or as fractions

of seconds, up to 99:59 minutes.

Follow these steps to record a cue with [Follow].
