This powerful new module allows full programming of a complete show in a way very familiar to Theater and TV users.

  • Anything from single events to complete snapshots of the output of Status Cue® can be captured as a single Cue. Each Cue can be assigned a number, SMPTE time and comments for fully automated playback.
  • Looped events, pauses and Cue 'GOTO's can all be included, giving you full control of the system. All presets are assigned automatically for simple operation.
  • In addition full MIDI and MSC facilities are included, allowing full integration of Status Cue into any MSC system. Status Cue can act either as a master controller outputting MSC Cues or as a listener responding to other devices.
  • Cue List integrates seamlessly with the other Status Cue modules, allowing Scenes or Sequences to be inserted as cues using 'drag and drop'.
  • Cue list also has full capture facilities, allowing you to record a show in real-time, either from local control or from MSC input.

Cue List adds another dimension to Status Cue and greatly extends the use of this powerful controller.

System Overview

Status Cue is a versatile and powerful lighting control system with the ability to control Color Pro, Cyberlight, Cyberlight CX, Dataflash AF1000, EC-1, Intellabeam, Studio Color, Technobeam, Technopro, Technoray, and Trackspot fixtures. Status Cue also offers preset fixture types for numerous additional DMX controlled lighting instruments and generic fixture types. These other fixtures enjoy the same sophistication of control as High End products such as Cyberlight with the use of dedicated controls, Palettes and other advanced features.
Status Cue supports MIDI, MIDI Show Control, MIDI Time Code, MIDI System Exclusive, and SMPTE protocols. The system can be the master or the slave controller depending on your requirements. Redundant Status Cue systems are easily setup using MSC.
The Status Cue Console interfaces with a Pentium (recommended) or 486 personal computer fitted with one or more LinkCards that in turn interface with the fixtures. Status Cue for Windows runs under Windows 95 providing system functionality that includes menu and window driven displays, editing, and program storage. Fixture and Console software updates are effortlessly accomplished through the software.

Status Cue provides the designer with the controls and features associated with conventional lighting desks while offering the performance of a dedicated moving light console. The Status Cue system is not only infinitely powerful and expandable, it is comfortable to learn, featuring a control architecture hierarchy that makes sense. All of the many advantages make the Status Cue system the obvious choice for control of automated lighting in any professional situation.

Console

The Status Cue system provides up to 18 layers of simultaneous playback control of connected fixtures. Sixteen of these output channels are accessed as Fader Presets, and the currently selected Instant Preset and Live Control constitute the remaining two output channels. Each Fader Preset features a high sensitivity fader control, an indicator, and a Flash key. The fader controls may be used to playback numerous options, such as dimming, rate control, or crossfading of Scenes stored in the Fader Presets. Scenes and sequences may also be stored on one of the banks of 32 Instant Preset buttons ready for immediate recall. These 32 keys also give quick, easy access to Status Cue’s powerful Palette function (preset focus), rapid Fixture Group selection and Macros. Adjacent to the Fader Presets is a Master Fader controlling overall dimming, and a Blackout key, which enables a quick "cut to black" effect.
The Continuous Constructs control section includes a series of eight rotary wheels for precise manipulation of parameters such as strobe rate, gobo rotation, frost, mirror speed, focus, zoom, iris, and dimming. Three smaller rotary Construct wheels and Construct keys form the Console's Color Mixing section. The wheels allow exact levels of RGB (Red Green Blue) or HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) to be created.

The Console's Discrete Construct section includes the COLOR, GOBO, and ROTATING GOBO key groups. The COLOR group enables control of all parameters relating to the fixed dichroic color wheels of all Lightwave Research automated luminaires and other DMX fixtures, including single and split color selection, forward and reverse color spins, color oscillation, and their associated variable speeds. The GOBO and ROTATING GOBO groups are used to select static and/or rotating gobos, and control their indexing, oscillation, and related speed parameters.
In addition to its powerful features, Status Cue is elegantly designed and stylized. The chassis is constructed from 18 gauge cold-rolled steel and is built to ensure maximum rigidity and ruggedness. The Console also has convenient hidden storage with a compartmental tray for holding cables, floppy disks, small tools, etc.

Application

The Status Cue application program was written in the C++ object oriented programming language and runs under Microsoft® Windows 95 on a Pentium® personal computer. The software program provides the graphical user interface to the system and communicates with the Console through the LinkCard.

Because the application program utilizes the Windows operating system, Status Cue is capable of supporting high resolution video monitors, MIDI, MTC, MSC, System Exclusive, SMPTE, external trackball, CD ROMs, touch screens, storage systems, and a host of other external devices. The application program features familiar menu type commands and convenient pop-up dialogue boxes for navigation throughout the program. Fixtures and Constructs are matrixed in a dynamic window format for constant monitoring of system information.

Most importantly, the computer interface allows for programming to take on familiar computer-oriented characteristics including Click and drag editing, cutting, copying, and pasting. To move a Scene within a Sequence, simply ‘click’ on the Scene and drag it to another location. In this manner, a Show can be arranged and rearranged in no time.

LinkCard

Each LinkCard has output connectors that interface to the Console and to the fixtures providing both necessary data and power to the Console and the LinkCard output to the fixtures. Up to four cards, each with two DMX-512 / LWR protocol outputs, may be installed in the computer to expand the system to a total of 4096 DMX channels. Fixture software upgrades for Cyberlight, EC-1, Studio Color, Technobeam, Technopro, Technoray, and future Lightwave Research fixtures may also be performed through these data links.

Computer

The Status Cue computers from High End Systems are available in industrial rack-mount or desktop configurations. The rack-mount computer is designed to meet the physical demands of the touring industry and the desktop computer is ideal for permanent installations. Both systems feature a 100-MHz Intel Pentium processor and are built to order with the required LinkCards and RAM. Each computer is pre-configured and tested with all hardware and software. Standard software includes Windows 95 and Status Cue for Windows. Standard hardware includes a MIDI card, 12x CD ROM, stereo output 1/4" phone jacks, 1.6 GB IDE hard drive, 3.5" floppy drive, 2 MB PCI video, trackball mouse, and keyboard.
