Show Cue System

SCS 11.9.1 is now available on the Download page of the Member Area.

New and Changed Features in SCS 11.9.1

• In Production Properties / Video Capture devices you may now select the video format, eg 'MJPG 1280x720 (5 to 30 fps)', and Frame Rate. Setting these may improve video capture performance.
• In Options / General, the maximum values for 'Max. No. of Audio Files to Pre-Open' and 'Max. No. of Video/Image Files to Pre-Open' have both been increased to 99. The default values remain unchanged, at 40 and 20 respectively.
• In the Editor's display of Audio File Cues, there are now '+' and '-' buttons under Audio Devices to enable you to easily insert or remove audio devices from the cue.
• A new type of Hotkey has been added: 'Step'. This enables you to have multiple cues assigned to the same hotkey, and SCS will 'step' through those cues one at a time for each press of the hotkey.
• The 'Page Up' (PgUp) and 'Page Down' (PgDn) keys may now be used for Hotkeys as they are the only keys supported by some wireless presenter clickers. However, if you use PgUp or PgDn for a Hotkey then this will override the corresponding action on the main cue list.
• The number of cue entries supported in a single Enable/Disable Cue has been increased from 5 to 10.
• Animated images (eg animated GIF's) may now be faded in, faded out, and cross-faded.
• The Operational Mode (Design, Rehearsal or Performance) can now be changed from the main window using a new menu item under the 'View' toolbar button.
• Chinese is now available as a language choice in Options / General.
• In 'Print Cue List' you may now choose 'Manual Cues Only'. This can be useful if the printed cue list is to help you run the cues for the show.
• When using Cue Markers, 'Prev Cue Marker' and 'Next Cue Marker' are now available via a MIDI Cue Control device.
• The 'Test Tone' feature in Production Properties / Audio Output Devices now supports pink noise as well as sine wave. The feature also now enables you to pan the test if the device is assigned two channels.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a bug in 11.9.0 that affected the creating and editing of MIDI Show Control (MSC) Control Send Cues.
• When editing an Audio File Cue, the Trim control was not processed correctly.
• When editing an Audio File Cue that uses a WAV file that contains embedded cue points, it was not possible to move the end marker back before the first embedded cue point.
• In the VST Plugins window, trying to insert a new plugin could cause a memory error.
• Rotating a still image could fail, resulting in a black image.
• Importing Lighting Devices from another cue file could cause a memory error.
• A Playlist Cue set to repeat would not repeat if the run mode is non-linear.
• Cues set to auto-start relative to a previous cue may run more than once if the run mode is non-linear.
• If a MIDI Time Code (MTC) sub-cue is linked to an Audio File sub-cue, then under some conditions the MTC sub-cue may not start when the linked Audio File sub-cue starts.
• An Audio File sub-cue or a Playlist sub-cue with a sub-cue start time of 'on cue marker' would start as soon as the cue itself was started.
• Fixed a bug in 11.9.0 that caused MIDI Control Send messages for Message Type 'Program Change (1-128)' to be processed incorrectly.
• A Recall Scene Control Send message to be sent to an Allen&Heath SQ series 'MIDI Remote Device' would always recall scene 1.
• Fixed some display size issues with Video/Image Cues.
• Fixed a bug in 11.9.0 that failed to ignore keyboard auto-repeats for commands like 'Go' and hotkeys.
• When two or more sub-cues of a cue display images simultaneously to separate screens and fade-in times are specified, then the fade in times of the second and any subsequent image sub-cues may be ignored and the image be displayed immediately.
• A Video sub-cue linked to an Audio File sub-cue may not play the video, even though the progress slider tracks apparent progress.
• Fixed a bug in 11.9.0 related to Audio File cues with cross-faded loops and also with a set number of times for the loop to execute. The loop counter would be incremented twice per loop.
• The Editing Option 'Max. File Length for Audio Graph File Scan' was not fully implemented.

Some features may not be available in all license levels. Please check the 'Feature Comparison' section of the Help for details.

Important! SCS 11.9.1 has been re-uploaded (build 2022/05/10) to fix an issue in the original build that failed to handle the 'ignore these devices' button in a message that may be raised during checking a device map.

Please re-download 11.9.1.

SCS 11.9.1 has been re-issued again (build 2022/05/14)!

The new feature for changing the Operational Mode from a menu item under the View button in the Main window did not reload the cue list in the main window, which is necessary if the change of Operational Mode resulted in a change of Cue List columns.

Also, SCS Lite and Standard users could get a memory error on accessing the Production Properties in the editor.

Please re-download 11.9.1.
