CUEING
07 CUEING
Figure 7.1: Cueing screen
This module works with cues. Cues are commands for
the Vortek hoists to carry out. The most common cue
is to move a motor or group, but there are others as
well. A set of cues for a show is called a cue sheet.
Each cue sheet is named for the show. For example,
the set of cues for a production of Annie is called the
Annie cue sheet.
The first menu for cueing is similar to the main menus
in the Grouping and Presets module. These choices
manage cue sheets (Figure 7.1). Touch CREATE
CUE SHEET to create a new show, or touch LOAD
CUE SHEET to work with an existing one. Touch
DELETE CUE SHEET to remove a cue sheet entirely.
On-screen assistance can always be found by touching
HELP in the lower right corner.
