Show Control

CueServer is all about flexibility. By combining a powerful virtual lighting console and a host of I/O devices (such as RS-232, contact closures, digital outputs, MIDI and more) with a flexible scripting language (called CueScript), the show programmer can coordinate all of these features to work together to manage automated shows.

Simple Example:
A retail customer has built an interactive storefront display. A simple pushbutton in front of the window allows guests to press the button to change the color of the lights in the display. CueServer is scripted to handle contact closure inputs by advancing one of its Cue Lists that has several lighting color schemes recorded in it.

Museum Exhibit Example:
A room in a museum sits idle running colorful light patterns on the wall. As soon as a motion detector signals that people have entered the room, CueServer sends a command to an audio playback device to welcome the guests. CueServer then lights up 3 buttons on a display panel that allows the guests to choose what language they wish to view the program in. Then, when CueServer receives the button press, it sends a command to the video player to start the appropriate show. CueServer begins to receive timecode from the player and coordinates the lighting in the room with the video playback. After the video, the room returns it its idle state.
