Cue List Attributes

Cue list attributes determine how the cue list will interact with other playbacks. Cue list attributes
include:

• the cue list number

• the cue list label

• intensity HTP or LTP setting (default is LTP)

• Independent On or Off (default is off)

When a cue list is loaded to a fader, all attributes of that cue list are in effect. When a new cue list
is loaded, the attributes of that cue list are in effect, and any manually set behavior of the fader
(such as filter states, timing disable, etc.) are maintained.

When the cue list index is in focus, the sofkeys change to {HTP/LTP}, {Independent}, {Move To} and
{Edit}.

HTP/LTP

The {HTP/LTP} softkey is a toggle state between LTP (latest takes precedence) and HTP (highest
takes precedence).

All parameters, other than intensity, are LTP. When a cue is executed, all parameters get their
starting levels from their current setting, regardless of the playback providing that instruction. In all
instances, the parameter moves from its current setting to its new setting in the time of the cue
providing the move instruction.

Intensity, by default, is also LTP. LTP implies that a channel parameter has only one value - the last
one it was given. Cue lists can be set with an HTP override. When a cue list is set to HTP, intensity
values provided by that cue list will override the LTP value (of which there can be only one),
provided the HTP instruction is higher than the LTP value. When a cue from an HTP cue list is
executed, Eos determines if the intensity value when the cue is complete will be higher than the
current setting. If so, the intensity will begin to fade from its current value to the required value in the
incoming cue using the cue's upfade time.

Note that this behavior is relevant only to cues. If an HTP cue is going to provide a higher level than
a submaster value, Eos will wait until the value is matched before assuming control of the intensity.

The following example illustrates the use of the {HTP/LTP} softkey in the cue list index:

<Cue> [1] [/] {LTP/HTP} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between HTP/LTP behavior.

Independent

The {Independent} softkey sets a cue list to independent. Any channel parameters currently under
the control of an independent playback cannot be changed by other non-independent playbacks or
submasters. Independent status is equally shared between other independent cue lists and
submasters.

The following example illustrates the use of the {Independent} softkey in the cue list index:

<Cue> [2] [/] {Independent} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between non-independent

and independent mode.
