Creating a Sequence Cue

This guide explains how to create a Sequence Cue in the PV4 Portal. A Sequence Cue plays multiple cues (Single or Multi) in a predefined order.

1. Creating the Cue

  1. Log into the PV4 Portal and navigate to your current Show.

  2. Select Cues in the left-hand navigation menu.

  3. Navigate to the Cue Type where the Sequence Cue will be created.

  4. Click the Create Cue button in the top-right corner of the cue list.

  5. Enter the initial cue properties:

    • Name – The name of the sequence.

    • Number – A unique number within the selected Cue Type.

2. Set the Cue Mode

  1. Set the Mode field to Sequence.

    • The GUI will update to display Sequence‑specific configuration fields.

3. Configure Sequence Properties

  1. In the End Behaviour field, choose what the Sequence should do once all its items have completed:

    • Black (default) — Clears the entire Sequence when complete.

    • Freeze — Holds on the last cue until cleared manually.

    • Loop — Automatically restarts the Sequence from the beginning once the final cue completes.

      • Useful for rotating content lists or repeating visuals.

  2. (Optional) Add a Label to help operators identify the Sequence in the Controller's Active Cue List.

4. Add Sequence Items

  1. In the Sequence Items section, click the "+" button to add a new entry.

  2. For each entry added:

    • Select the Cue Type of the cue to include.

    • Enter the Cue Number for that cue.

  3. The system will automatically detect the referenced cue and display its Name.

  4. If a cue does not yet exist:

    • Click the arrow beside the entry to open a slide‑out for creating the new cue.

    • Refer to Creating a New Cue if needed.

  5. Repeat the steps above until all cues are added to the Sequence.

  6. Press Save when the Sequence is complete.

Reordering: You can click and drag cues within the Sequence Items list at any time to reorder how the Sequence plays.

Mixed Cue Types: Sequence Cues can include both Single Cues and Multi Cues. Sequence Cues cannot contain other Sequence Cues.

Cue Clearing: All cues inside a Sequence still adhere to Cue Clearing Rules across surfaces and cue types. If a cue in the Sequence is programmed to clear another cue (even within the same Sequence), it will clear it. Always test Sequence behaviour in a non‑live environment.
