What Is a Cue?
A cue stores a predefined combination of luminaire parameters such as focus, color,
beam, timing, etc. which will be recalled when the cue is played back in a submaster.
By playing back a series of cues, a show can be created.
Cues are stored with numbers which enable random access for modification or
playback at any time. The Virtuoso console can store up to 10,000 cues, numbered
from .01 to 9999.99. Cues can also be given alpha-numeric labels for identification.
The cue store process is basically a “what you see is what you get” operation based on
the intensity state of the luminaire. In other words, the parameter values
corresponding to the “stage look” are the values stored in the cue when a store
operation takes place. Which parameters are stored is determined by the current
intensity state of each luminaire and the filter settings.
