In PIXERA 25.3/26.1 we have added a new Cue type: Trigger Cues, as well as the ability to create new layers for cues to be on called Cue Layers in the Timeline.

Trigger Cues

Trigger Cues can be used to trigger some Network Command, or another timeline and are useful for triggering an action in control or an API command that you are sending out. Importantly, Trigger cues do not change the transport mode. They function like a play cue without the attached ‘play’ functionality for the timeline.

They are located here and signified by the lightning bolt on the flag in the timeline toolbar:

Trigger Cues can also be created by changing the Operation on a Transport cue (play, pause, stop, jump) to Trigger:

Here is the Trigger Cue Inspector:

A new Parameter in the inspector is the ability to Change Layers using the drop down.

Cue Layers

Cue Layers are a new type of layer that can be added by right clicking in the Layer header and adding a Cue Layer:

Cue Layers are a new place to add cues to so that you can organize and structure your timeline to group certain types of cues. For example you could have one Cue Layer that is your Projector dousing and another Cue Layer that includes all of your PIXERA Control cues.

Clicking on this icon will mute the Cue layer and won't execute any of the cues on it:

Other Features of Cue Layers

You can now stack cue flags visually:

 Cues can be moved between Cue Layers using the Inspector:
