Any way to see Cue List in Full Screen?

[Mr_P]

Hi Tim

Hi all,

My problem is that we need to run the show in Full Screen mode on Screen 1 to see the images on the projector, but there seems to be no way to see a cue list in this mode.

no - there isn't - unless you use the web remote from another computer - or have another mac running catalyst with an identical cuelist - and 'send preset commands' - both methods require a 2nd computer....

We're discussing running the show straight off the Presets, so another question: is there any way to copy and paste presets?

no way to copy and paste presets - you can always run preset, then save it in to a new one. - There are a few workarounds if using a lighting desk....

We can plot presets in show order but inevitably there'll be cues added in between other cues and so it might all get rather messy and hard to navigate in show conditions.

in your scenario - id either use a 2nd mac to run the cuelist, or use a lighting desk to program and replay.

If budget is tight - try HogPC with a USB widget or GrandMA PC with an NSP - or ChamSys MagicQ (really good with catalyst) http://www.chamsys.co.uk/default.asp...leproducts.asp

Hope this helps - do contact me if you require further info

If anyone is interested - this was my suggestion to Tim

my thoughts would be to program using presets and cue list on the main machine, then zip up the show file. Copy this onto the second machine you have and ensure both are on the same network.

On the second machine, turn on "Send Remote Preset Commands" from the Remote options in the Catalyst Control window, and "Accept Remote Preset Commands" on the main machine.

You can then run the cue list to trigger presets on the second machine, this should send remote preset triggers to your main machine.

I hope this is clear - if not - please email me.

Nev.
