Introduction

TheatreCue provides for cueing of remote Outstations, each acting as an
interactive cuelight or as a direct controller of stage equipment. Each Main
Unit controls up to 14 Outstations and the system is designed so that up to
8 Main Units can be linked, thus providing for the control of up to 112
Outstations if required. The system is easily set up using standard XLR
(mic) cables and allows for any combination of daisy chain, star or looping
configuration.

System operators are able to quickly set-up and assign remote stations in
any preferred order, and to either of two groups for the easy simultaneous
cueing of multiple actions. Stage managers are then able to give ‘standby’
commands, which Outstation operators are able to confirm prior to the
stage manager giving the ‘go’ command. TheatreCue can be RS232
computer controlled and features numerous continuous system fault alert
functions; for the fast diagnosis of any cabling or system failures.
