Before you begin

A show-enabled edition and sample media/routines.

How it works

The Shows console separates standby from live output. Pre-show checks inspect cues, dependencies, and relevant device needs.

All steps, in writing
  1. Open a sample show

    Open Shows and create or choose a rehearsal show. Review its current list and standby cue.

    Expected: You know which show and list you are editing.

  2. Add one cue

    Choose Add cue and configure a supported type. For a routine cue, choose an existing routine and review its requirements.

    Expected: The cue points to valid sample content.

  3. Review progression

    Place cues in the order you intend. Inspect timing and progression settings rather than assuming one cue waits for another.

    Expected: The sequence behaves deliberately.

  4. Run checks

    Open Pre-show check. Resolve missing media, missing routine targets, unsupported cue types, and device requirements.

    Expected: The list of issues is understood before rehearsal.

  5. Rehearse the outputs

    Advance a sample cue and compare the console with Mirror and History.

    Expected: The observed result matches the cue.

If something differs

  • A routine cue does not automatically hold show progression until the routine finishes.
  • An unavailable routine host or deleted target must be fixed in cue setup.
