Hey guys this is Martin again from SIRS-E.
Today I am going to talk to you about the Cue Server.
And also the Cue Server triggers options.
Like the Cue Station and the Cue Station Hub.
Basically this is a great alternative to trigger cues.
And different stuff or scenes that you may have recorded.
On your Cue Server in a very simplistic manner.
You know, if you have a job that you are doing for a customer.
And they want a very basic way to trigger off.
Certain cues and themes and lights.
This makes it real simple for the end user.
So simply click a button.
And it will trigger off that certain light or certain show.
Whatever that they are trying to do.
So this is great like I said for simplistic installations.
Or if your end user is not a technician.
Or not a tech savvy at all.
So basically the components that you need to.
Under carry this type of application.
Is going to be your Cue Station.
Here we are using an 8 button mystique.
It is a 2 wire system.
The 2 wire system is the most basic system.
There is also the 5 wire and the passive.
But the 2 wire is great because there is.
No polarity between the two wires.
And it works pretty well for what it is.
The other thing you’ll need is the Cue Station Hub.
The Cue Station Hub is where the cue station itself connects to.
With this hub you can connect up to ten 2 wired system.
8 buttons ones so it can be a total of.
8 button cue station pads per hub.
And then you also need a network switch or a network hub.
Basically what the network hub is going to do.
Is going to connect everything together.
If you try to connect the hub directly to the cue server.
It is just not going to work.
I am not exactly sure why that is.
But it is just not going to work.
It is not really stay it in the.
Manuals but at least that is what I saw.
So you know, I am sure there are a lot of.
Other people that ran into this issue.
But yeah just make sure that you have a.
Network hub setup for this system.
So I am going to show you some basic things.
And way to setup your triggers and all that.
So here on my screen I have connected.
My cue server and to configure everything.
And if I go to my cue list.
You’ll see that I already have cue setup.
And I actually already have some buttons programmed.
So I am going to show you guys.
Real quick.
Where to go.
So you go to triggers.
Up here on the corner.
And then you go to function buttons.
Ok these are going to be your buttons.
The cool thing is that the buttons that you are setting up.
Work here as well as here.
So basically this, the Cue Station is like an.
Extension of the buttons here on the Cue Server.
So if you see here I have a whole bunch of buttons programmed.
So for example.
I am going to delete one of them.
I am going to delete this one button.
And I am going to reprogram it to show you guys.
Ok so you go to add new button.
And first of all you got to realize and.
Think about what you have available.
Obviously here on the Cue Server usually it sets everything for you.
So you are going to go to.
The type of function.
But for right now we are just going to do the preset toggle.
Which is a very simple function.
Which means that once you press the button.
It will toggle down to that certain cue or scene.
So we go to the type of function.
And we are going to select Preset Toggle.
And then, I already have some scenes written here.
And we are actually going to trigger a DMX string scene.
And that is my cue 8.
So we are going to set the cue number that we want to pre-set.
And then there is all this stuff like fade time.
The fade time means from the moment you press the button.
How long does it take to dim on.
That certain cue.
So we are going to do maybe like 2 seconds.
Just to give it a little bit of snags there.
And then On Action mean when you press a button.
What is going to happen next.
The Cue Server works by inputting commands.
So there is a list of commands.
That when you set them up in a certain manner.
Trigger different functions and different thing like that.
So basically here we are going to set.
What we want it to do when we press a button.
So the list of commands are all in the manual.
But for now I am going to skip to it.
And it is actually very simple.
We are going to tell it to.
Say a Cue, 8, Go.
Ok, simple as that.
When you go to the function here on the bottom.
You want to make sure the preset is active.
And now you save that.
Ok, so now we have button number 7.
Ok, we go button number 7.
And it is a preset toggle.
And it says preset 8.
And basically tells you all the information.
Now, if you go to button number 7.
So we count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
It should actually trigger off our stream.
Which is a color changing stream.
So that is pretty much all there is to it.
You know it is not very complicated.
But it does takes a little bit of getting use to it.
So you know you can create a bunch of different ones.
Here I got like one that releases and turns everything off.
I got this one that goes to red.
I got this one that does blue.
But if notice it actually fades.
So I programmed it to were when you go from one.
To the other it will fade in between.
So you get that cool fade effect there.
That one is supposed to be green.
And this one here it is like the still multi-color one.
This is another stream. Which is like a scrolling color effect.
And then lastly the one we just programmed.
So remember you are going to need.
A network switch.
You need your Cue Station Hub.
Obviously your Cue Station.
A keypad here.
And this works pretty much with any cue server.
