About scheduling a cue

Scheduling automatically starts cues that need to be played on a regular predictable time frame. Time frames depend on a configured time source that is either on the network or configured in the unit. For more information on time settings of a unit, see “Time setting”.

How to schedule
  1. Select the time source from the drop down after Time Source (reference 19).

    Note: If the Time Source is ‘Off’, then scheduling cannot be used.
