Recording and Editing Cues
MIB on the Command Line
If you start a command line with [CUE], the softkeys become cue specific and [S7]
is labeled MIB. If you type [CUE][5] [S7 - MIB] [ENTER], it will toggle the MIB
check box in the Cue Actions dialog box. That is, if MIB is on, it will be turned off
and vice versa. (If the Cue List has MIB Suppressed - see below - the Use MIB
checkbox will be toggled). You can also type [CUE][5] [S7 - MIB] [5] [ENTER] to
turn on MIB and set it to a fade time of 5 seconds. [CUE][5] [S7 - MIB] [2] [/] [5]
[ENTER] would put a 2 second wait before the 5 second fade. Cue ranges are also
allowed. If you omit the Cue Number, the current cue number will be used.
MIB Global Suppression
The Channel Grid Toolbar has a MIB Global Suppression button . If you press
this button, it is like turning on Suppress MIB for each and every cue. During editing
sessions, where you may be inserting new cues, it may be desirable to turn this
option off because sometimes when you turn a light back on, it may not be in the
position you thought you left it. Do not run shows with this option set!
MIB Cue List Property
If you prefer not to use MIB, or only call for it when desired, the easiest thing to do is
adjust the Cue List Properties to Suppress MIB on the entire Cue List. If you choose
this option, the Suppress Move In Black check box in the Cue Action dialog box
becomes Use MIB and it not checked by default.
In Show Options - Cue List there is an option to turn on Suppress MIB for all new
Cue Lists.
