MagicQ User Manual 97 / 355
12.4.1 Levels
All active channels in the programmer are transferred into the Cue. Thus if "Activation by Head" is in use then all the attributes
of activated heads will be stored.
If the channel level was set using a Palette, then that is also recorded so that the Cue can keep track of changes to the Palette.
When you subsequently change the Palette the changes will be reflected in the Cue.
12.4.2 Timing
The timing information in the programmer is copied into the Cue. Cue timing can be set up before or after the Cue is recorded.
Timing information for channels consists of two types:
General Times: stored for each type of attribute (Int In, Int Out, Position, Colour, Beam)
Individual Times: stored on an individual channel basis
All Cues have General Times whereas Individual Times are optional. When a Cue has Individual Times then these override the
General Times. Cues can have Individual Times set for only certain heads or attributes – in this case Individual Times will be
used for those heads and attributes, whilst the General Times will be used for all other heads and attributes.
12.4.3 FX
The Cue stores FX information for each of the FX that is in the programmer.
12.5 Split Cue Times
It is possible to add Split Cue times (different times for different heads) both before a Cue is programmed in the Programmer
Window and afterwards in the Cue Window.
Split times can be added by playing back Palettes with time or by directly editing the Times in the Programmer or Cue Windows.
In both the Programmer and the Cue Window the View Times has two views – View Simple and View Advanced. View Simple
is used for simple changes to times including entering split times across the selected heads. View Advanced is used for editing
attribute times for a particular head one by one.
12.5.1 View Simple
The View Simple shows both General Times and Individual Times. The General Times are the times that are applied by default
to attributes in the Cue – i.e. if you do not specify any Individual Time for an attribute on a head then the General Times will be
used. The Individual Times lets you enter times for specific heads and for specific attributes.
