CALLING: Projections...how do you call it?

[Pip T]

Another UK based one here, so will be a bit different, but my cues are usually called as:

Lx - lighting
Sound
AV - Projection/video
Fly - Flies
Tab - House curtains
Stage - deck cues.
Spot - Follow spots in the rare event I'm calling them.

I have another hand raised for TAB for a Video Cue. 
Usually I do not have the luxury of a separate video op so my sound op is the one pushing the Tab Cue.  It works well for us as it sounds different from a called Sound Cue.

I've run projections for several shows and the SMs always called the cues as TABs. I've also heard it referred to as Media, but I'm one of those people that likes to say as few syllables as possible when calling...

As an update: I'm in tech for the production with the Projections and I'm using "Tabs" to great success. I even dropped a bit o' knowledge on my deck chief (Equity SM but not on contract as such for our production) who's been working professionally since 1981 who had never heard the Tabs designation before.

But it keeps the air clear with Electrics, Sound, Deck and Tabs.

I use PQ for projection cues.  My college uses PowerPoint for projections during productions.  Sound is run separately from projections.
