Millbank Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Am with small theatre in Dublin and none of us unfortunately lighting experts. Have a strand 300 series lighting system and have a problemWe recently radn a 200clean on the system and reloaded a show, but the Blackout CUE0 is no longer function. Tends to go to the first cue on the show. Am reading manual but not very helpful, sayin CUE0 is a protected cues that can not be edited or deleted. Any body got any ideas for this. Show opening in 10 days and starting to wonder where to go. Thanks Millbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but Cue 0 isn't really a 'cue' at all - it's just a means of clearing all channels quickly by hitting "CUE 0 GO".You can't edit it, and, as far as I can recall, it doesn't appear in the cue list at all. What precisely do you want to do, or what do you expect to be able to get from Cue 0...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's not possible for 'cue 0' to cease to exist - it can't be deleted or edited in the same way that other cues can. There must be some other underlying problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanhill Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 If you wish to replicate the function of Cue 0, just set up a macro (something like 1 THRU 200 @ 0 (or whatever your highest dimmer/control channel is) and assign it to a P button). If you have the original operating software, you could try re-installing it. I seem to recall that there is an OS disc and an applications disc. It is worth saving the password for the desk before you attempt this, and if you are even a little unsure DO NOT ATTEMPT as you could be left with an expensive door stop.

JohnMac Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Cue 0,as others have said is a special state, If you need a blackout as your first cue, suggest you record cue 0.1 as a blackout. Normally I start at cue 0.5 for house / tab warmers /workers, cue 0.9 fade everything out, allowing cue 1 for first cue for show.I can't recall the playback stacks starting at cue 0, Hope this helpsregards John Mac. (p.s. if you need to know Cue 0 go, cue 0.1 record will set a blackout as your first cue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be other gremlins at work etc. 01-6773044. Cheers eamon Thanks eamonn, even the bold Pat stuck on this a little. Will keep trying. Don't think theres too many strand 300s out there Sean A concurrent post has been automatically merged from this point on. Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but Cue 0 isn't really a 'cue' at all - it's just a means of clearing all channels quickly by hitting "CUE 0 GO".You can't edit it, and, as far as I can recall, it doesn't appear in the cue list at all. What precisely do you want to do, or what do you expect to be able to get from Cue 0...? Ye but it isn't doing even that. he internal command cue 0 GO isn' doing a blackout as it used to. Will keep trying a post a reply if I find the reason. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Edwards Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Can you reload a show that did work correctly and see if that solves the problem? What does happen? My suspicion is that it won't and that your software has some how become corrupted, in which case reloading the OS may be the only solution. [Rem Dim] [Rem Dim] is my preferred way of creating a black out, especially when programming since it doesn't lose the place in the cue stack. This may be a possible temporary fix / work around to your issues. HTH Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazeja Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Try going to "Archive", "Clear " and select everything for deletion, whole show, setup etc and clear it out. When complete, select live. Bring up some circuits manually and select CUE 0 GO. If that fails, then after the clear out, reboot the console and then manually bring up etc. Please advise what happens and also (I may have missed it) what version of software you're running.
