  • Page 3: Introduction

    System The Cuety system consists of the LPU hardware and the Cuety App running on your iPad. In order for the LPU and the App to communicate you would need to provide a Wi-Fi access point yourself. You can expand the system by also running the Remote App on your iPhone.
  • Page 4 Apps The main App is the Cuety App for the iPad. This App allows you to create a patch (the list of 4xtures you are controlling), program cues and FX and operate the playbacks like a live lighting console. In some situations you might not need the ability to modify all the details of your light show; sometimes you just want a simple way of choosing between the pre-programmed cues.

  • Page 5: Quick Start

    Quick Start This chapter gives you brief step-by-step instructions on how to get your Cuety system up and running. All steps are explained in further detail in the subsequent chapters. In this Quick Start example we are using a simple 3- channel RGB 4xture that is set to start-address 1.

  • Page 6: Setting Up

    Setting up This chapter discusses the steps to set up the Cuety system. Mounting The LPU can be placed desktop or it can be DIN rail mounted DIN Rail The device is prepared for DIN Rail mounting by using the 'DIN rail holder TSH 35' from Bopla (Product no.
  • Page 7 When using static IP addresses you have to make sure that all equipment on your network have unique IP addresses. You can also change the IP settings inside the Cuety App. By pressing the reset button on the device for 3 seconds or more, you will recon4gure the unit to the factory default IP address and sub-net mask.

    Cuety App. It is possible to import a show 4le made in Cuelux, another lighting software package made by Visual Productions. After copying the Cuelux show 4le to the iPad using iTunes it will become visible in the show 4le listing. The Cuelux...
  • Page 9 show 4les remain read-only. Opening this 4le will import the patch and some playback settings. The cues, however, will not be imported as Cuelux saves this information in di@erent style.
  • Page 10 The way how to add a 4xture with multiple dimmer channels in Cuety is to add several 'Generic - Dimmer 01x' 4xtures. You can control multiple-pixel lights by adding several 'Generic – RGB 01x' 4xtures.
  • Page 11 Playback The Playback view presents you with 64 playback buttons. Each Playback can contain one or more cues. Cues are explained in more detail later on. You can directly access all the playback buttons to start and stop them. To start a playback just hit the playback button one time.
  • Page 12 You can also use multiple cues to create a 'chase' for example for a disco party. To build a chase you just make a cue for each step of the chase and tell Cuety to run through the cues automatically. You can use the 'Add' and 'Remove' buttons change the number of cues inside this playback.
  • Page 13 Programmer The view at the bottom of the Edit page is called the Programmer. The Programmer contains a lighting 'look' i.e. it can contain levels for various attributes for various 4xtures. Basically, you build up your lighting 'look' inside the Programmer and then save it to a cue by using the 'Record' button.

  • Page 14: Remote App

    Remote App The Cuety Remote App is a small tool for remote controlling the LPU. The Remote App does not allow you to edit the settings inside the controller. It is assumed that you would have already programmed the contents of the LPU by using the Cuety App.

  • Page 15: Creating Personalities

    Cuety has a large library of personality 4les built in. It is possible, however, that a lighting 4xture you wish to control does not exist in our library. If you like to add a new personality 4le to Cuety then you can request via our forum at www.visualproductions.nl/forum.

  • Page 16: Vmanager

    A special software tool called vManager has been developed to manage the various network-based lighting controllers made by Visual Productions. This tool is available on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux and is available via our website, free of charge.
