Chapter 7 Session Management
To set Cue Points ‘On the Fly’
To set a cue point ‘on the fly’, roll the tape and press
{CUE} on the Control Keyboard, in readiness for
setting a cue point.
At the appropriate time, press {ENTER} and a cue point
will be added at the time {ENTER} is pressed. A pop-
up will then appear to prompt for a name entry. Either
press {ENTER} for the next default Cue Number or
type in an appropriate name and press {ENTER}.
Repeat as necessary for any subsequent cues.
The cues scroll automatically with reference to
timecode. The current cue is displayed in the central
white bar surrounded by black lines. Any commands
which specify Start and End times, such as {CYCLE},
will cause green highlights to be displayed on those
cues.
Cues List Scrolling
The CUES list scrolls through automatically as the
tape is rolling. The current Cue is placed in the middle
of the list by default but the SCROLL BAR, to the left
of the CUES list, can be used to place the current CUE
at the most convenient position. It may be preferable
to see more of the approaching CUES than those
already passed, for example.
If there is a long list of CUES, some of which are
above or below the section being displayed, the
SCROLL BAR can be used to view them whilst the
tape is stopped. However, the current CUE will
always be in view when the tape is rolling. If it is out
of view (the tape is stopped) and then the tape is
rolled, the current CUE will immediately jump into
view.
Click on the CUES list header to reset the list so that
the current CUE resides in the centre of the list, which
is the default.
To edit a Cue name
Highlight and click on the name or press {EDIT} on the
Control Keyboard to display a pop-up dialogue box.
Type in a name using the QWERTY keyboard and
press {ENTER} or click on OK.
To re-order a Cue entry
Click on its number in the left hand column for a pop-
up. Overwrite the current number using the numeric
pad on the Control Keyboard, and press {ENTER} or
click on OK. The list will re-order itself.
To Delete a Cue
To delete a cue, highlight that cue in the CUES field,
then on the Control Keyboard select:
{DELETE} {CUE} {ENTER}
or without highlighting it:
{DELETE} {CUE} # {ENTER}
Entering Notes for a Cue
Click on the middle column, or highlight and press
{EDIT} on the Control Keyboard, for the NOTES pop-
up related to the cue on the same line. Use the
QWERTY Keyboard to enter notes and press {ENTER}
or click on OK. The icon appears only if there is a
Notes entry.
Command Dialogue
At the base of the screen, the User Command Dialogue
Line bar displays commands from the dedicated
Control Keyboard and QWERTY Keyboard for
confirmation before {ENTER}.
