Cues and Sequences
Overview
MENU SYSTEM : CUES AND SEQUENCES 4
The luminaire has the ability to store and playback cues independent of a console.
Cues are stored as numbers from 1 to 99 by using the Cue (Cue Processing) functions
available in the menu system. This also allows you to create your own test sequences
to be played back on a group of luminaires.
Refer to “Menu System Functions” on page 57 for a complete breakdown of Cue and
Man (Manual Commands) functions.
Storing
The luminaire is able to store its current position into a cue; this information can be set
via a console or by using the menu system Man (Manual Commands) function.
Playback
Cues can be joined into a sequence to be played back without a console. However,
only one sequence can run at a time.
A sequence can either replay the cues stored in each luminaire or replay the cues
stored in a master luminaire. Playing a cue sequence for all luminaires in the data link
is triggered by a “master” luminaire using the PSEQ (Play Sequence) command. The
cue follow time (FLTM) is taken from the luminaire that is running the sequence (it is
possible to view the follow time of each cue by playing the cue PCUE and then
viewing the cue follow time FLTM). A playback sequence can be set to start
automatically after power up by setting the Auto (AutoPlay) feature to ON.
Note: Up to 32 luminaires can be linked together to run a sequence if they are data
linked together. Refer to “Connecting Data and Power” on page 19.
Hardware Requirements
Data cables used in the multi-luminaire playback feature must have two twisted pairs
and a shield. It is also recommended that cables meet all other USITT DMX
specification requirements. Refer to “Data Cables” on page 12.
Loopback and termination connectors are used in this process. Refer to page 14 for
more information regarding the construction of these connectors.
