Playback Control Speed

Control the relative speed of cues running on a playback.

How Playback Speed Works

When you adjust the Playback Speed, machine movements scale proportionally. For example:

• Original movement speed: 8 inches/second

• Playback Speed set to 50%

• Actual movement speed: 4 inches/second

Key Features

• Adjust speed before or during cue execution

• Dynamically change sequence velocity mid-move

Note: Only machine movements adjust speed. Delay Triggers maintain their original programmed timing.

Compatibility

Supported Stagehands

Playback speed control works on:

• Stagehand Pro 5

• Stagehand Apprentice 2

• Stagehands with Unipolar V6 Card

These models support "live" speed adjustment during cue execution.

Legacy Stagehands

For Stagehands with earlier card versions, playback speed adjustment will not affect movement speed.

Verify your Stagehand's card version before attempting speed control.
