The save background cue dialog

Click the save to re-save an existing background cue or the save new to save the current

background cue as a new background cue.

Loading background cues

Click to open the list of background cues

Previously saved background cues are also selectable from the selection drop down box in the lower

right hand corner of the background cue control. In order to restore the sequence slot state (on or off)

that the background cue was saved with, make sure that Preferences -> Restore Sequence On/Off

State is enabled. If disabled the background cue will always load with all slots enabled. A background

cue may also be automatically as part of a cue.

Deleting background cue files

Click to delete the current background cue file. To delete multiple background cue files, use

deleting multiple data files or select and right-click in the list of background cues and select Delete

background Cue Files from the popup menu.

Selecting sequence trig mode

Right-click the sequence slot to access the Sequence Mode dialog to set the sequence mode. The

following trig modes are possible for sequences in the background cue:

Auto trigged - default mode. Uses the preprogrammed scene and fade times.

Audio trigged - using trig information from the Audio Analyzer and the sequences preprogrammed

scene and fade times.

No-Loop Mode - same as auto trigged but the sequence doesn't loop after the last scene.

When sequences are set to Audio trigged or No-Loop mode, an indication (A and -L respectively) will

appear in the mode column of the background cue control.

The Sequence Mode dialog

Transparent background cues

Like the ordinary cue the background cue implements transparency. Normally, when loading a

background cue, each of the background cues slots will be overwritten by the contents of the loaded

background cue - even if the slots in the new cue has no sequence assigned. However, when a

background cue is saved as a transparent cue, on reloading, empty slots will not overwrite existing

sequences. To save a background cue as transparent - check 'Save as Transparent BGCue' in the

save dialog. In the background cue drop down list, transparent background cues display a (T) in front

of the background cue name.
