As you would expect, any shapes you have set up will be saved as 

part of the cue.  
You can create a cue which contains a shape with no base reference 

values; a shape cue like this can then be fired with other cues to 

overlay the shape on the cue and give you instant effects based 

around the settings in that cue. When recording the cue, use the 

“Off” function to remove the other attributes from the programmer as 

described in section 6.3.4 on page 71. 
 

Because it’s possible to play back a large number of cues at the same 

time, the Pearl has to have rules on how it combines the output from 

different cues. These are called HTP and LTP rules. 

The Pearl treats control channels in two ways: 

• 

Dimmer or intensity channels work on the principle of “Highest 

Takes Precedence” (HTP). If an HTP channel is active at 

different levels in several cues, the highest level will be output. 

When you fade out a cue, the HTP channels fade out with it. 

• 

All other channels work on the principle of “Latest Takes 

Precedence” (LTP). The latest change takes over from any other 

values, so the most recent cue to be turned on is the one which 

is output. When you fade out a cue, LTP channels retain their 

values until changed by another cue. 

To fire (play back) a cue, raise the fader. (Make sure there are no 

values in the programmer by pressing the Clear button, because 

anything in the programmer will override the playback). 

• 

You can fire several cues at once. 

• 

The HTP levels in the cue will be mastered by the fader level; 

for example if you set the fader at 50% then all HTP levels will 

be 50% of their programmed values. 

• 

LTP channels are triggered as soon as the fader goes above 

0%. If a fade time is programmed the LTP channels will start to 

fade; if there is no fade time they will snap to position (unless 

72 for details of modes). 

• 

You can Flash the cue by pressing the grey flash button. You 

can Swop (solo) the cue by pressing the blue Swop button (all 

other active cues will turn off while the button is pressed). Flash 

and Solo only work when the key is set to Run mode. 

• 

You can Preload the cue by assigning the Preload function to 

the blue or grey buttons using Key Profiles. Preload sets the 

attributes of fixtures in the playback which are not currently
