CuePad is a remote control application for the CueServer series of DMX Lighting and Show Control Processors from Interactive Technologies. With CuePad you can create multiple layouts of customizable buttons and/or sliders. Each button can operate as a remote CueServer button trigger or it can run a CueScript macro. Sliders can operate DMX channels, groups, or a playback's submaster. CuePad can also provide live LED indicator feedback on the buttons as well. Each layout can control different CueServers on your local network or remotely access a CueServer on a remote network. CuePad will control a CueServer on the local WiFi network or it can connect to a remote CueServer via the cellular data network (provided that the CueServer has a publicly accessible IP Address).
