About

Cue Light

Features
Read full description

This app will need to run on 2x different instances on the same network for proper testing. It is designed to replace or offer a cheap alternative to wired theatre cue lights. The intent is to have a DSM (stage manager) able to inform the people operating lights, sound etc. to stand by to perform an action and to execute that. One device should have a name assigned in DSM mode and the other a different name in receiver mode. Enter settings on the DSM device then on the receiver press broadcast to DSM. you can then add this device and they will be linked. Click standby on the dam device and both will illuminate, then click the standby on the receiver device to acknowledge (both turn yellow) then press go on the DSM device to turn both green. No regional differences. No a highly regulated industry and no information leaves the device at all. OSC is an open standard, no external services in use.
