Cue List Attributes
Cue list attributes determine how the cue list will interact with other playbacks. Cue list attributes
include:
• The cue list number
• Playback
• The cue list label
• Fader proportional or intensity master (I-Master)
• Independent On or Off (default is off)
• Intensity HTP or LTP setting (default is LTP)
• Assert
• External links
When a cue list is loaded to a fader, all attributes of that cue list are in effect. When a new cue list
is loaded, the attributes of that cue list are in effect, and any manually set behavior of the fader
(such as filter states, timing disable, etc.) are maintained.
When the cue list index is in focus, the sofkeys change to {HTP/LTP}, {Independent}, {Assert},
{Solo Mode}, {Fader}, and {Edit}.
HTP/LTP
The {HTP/LTP} softkey is a toggle state between LTP (latest takes precedence) and HTP (highest
takes precedence). For more information on HTP/LTP see HTP vs. LTP, page 7.
All parameters other than intensity are LTP.
Intensity, by default, is also LTP. Cue lists can be set with an HTP intensity override. When a cue list
is set to HTP, intensity values provided by that cue list will override the LTP value (of which there
can be only one), provided the HTP instruction is higher than the LTP value. When a cue from an
HTP cue list is executed, Ion determines if the intensity value when the cue is complete will be
higher than the current setting. If so, the intensity will begin to fade from its current value to the
required value in the incoming cue using the cue's upfade time.
Note that this behavior is relevant only to cues. If an HTP cue is going to provide a higher level than
a submaster value, Ion will wait until the value is matched before assuming control of the intensity.
The following example illustrates the use of the {HTP/LTP} softkey in the cue list index:
• [1] [/] {LTP/HTP} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between HTP/LTP behavior.
Independent
The {Independent} softkey sets a cue list to independent. Any channel parameters currently under
the control of an independent playback cannot be changed by other non-independent playbacks or
submasters. Independent status is equally shared between other independent cue lists and
submasters.
The following example illustrates the use of the {Independent} softkey in the cue list index:
• [2] [/] {Independent} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between non-independent
and independent mode.
