This window has controls for starting/stopping the stream recording and additional advanced options for controlling the length or external triggering of the stream recording.
  • Page 62 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 To start recording, press the Record button. The button will change to Stop and the time display will begin counting. Recording of DMX channel values will continue until the Stop button is pressed.
  • Page 63 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 As soon as the external console raises the trigger channel above zero, the recording will begin automatically. Then, when the trigger channel falls back to zero, recording will stop. CueServer very precisely monitors the value of the trigger channel and will begin recording a stream on the very first DMX frame that has a non-zero trigger channel value.

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 DMX Triggers CueServer offers the ability to trigger actions or events based on the live incoming value of DMX channels. DMX Triggers are configured using the DMX section of the TRIGGERS group within CueServer Studio.
  • Page 121 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 There are three types (or modes) of DMX Triggers. Each type of trigger requires different properties and exhibits a different behavior. The available trigger types include: • Enter/Exit Range – A trigger based on a DMX channel either entering or exiting a specific range of values.

  • Page 122: Enter/Exit Range Trigger

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Enter/Exit Range Trigger When a DMX Trigger is set to the Enter/Exit Range type, various rules can be added to the trigger that fire whenever the channel value either enters or exits a particular range of values.
  • Page 123 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 ◦ Channel – The channel that is being observed for the trigger. A value from may be 16384 entered into this field. The channel number corresponds to the global channel number within CueServer, not a local channel number in a single universe.

  • Page 124: Submaster Control Trigger

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Submaster Control Trigger When a DMX Trigger is set to the Submaster Control type, the incoming DMX channel value is directly mapped to control the Submaster of a Playback Fader. This type of trigger is best used when it is desired to have an external console directly control the Submaster level of one of CueServer’s Playback Faders.
  • Page 125 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 ◦ Invert Submaster Level – Normally, the DMX value is passed directly to the Submaster value. When this checkbox is selected, the Submaster value will be inverted from the DMX value. For example, when the DMX value is at zero, the Submaster will be at full.

  • Page 126: Act On Changes Trigger

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Act on Changes Trigger When a DMX Trigger is set to the Act on Changes type, any time the incoming DMX value changes, a CueScript action is executed. This type of trigger is best used to create custom actions that take the input value of a DMX channel and perform some kind of operation upon it.
  • Page 127 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 ◦ Action – A CueScript action that is executed each time the input DMX value changes. See below for examples. ◦ Delay – Each time this trigger is activated by a change in DMX value, this delay temporarily disarms the trigger from firing again.

  • Page 128: Cuescript Language

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 CueScript Language CueServer uses a command language called CueScript as the basis of nearly all of CueServer’s control and automation capabilities.

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Operators The CueScript language allows for operators to be used in expressions. Operators are symbols that appear in-between two values that “operate” on those values. Common operators include mathematical functions such as + and – for addition and subtraction, and boolean functions such as And, and Or.

CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Using Variable Values To use variables in CueScript commands, enclose the variable name in single quotes ( 'MyVariable' For example, using the variable values set from above, the following variable substitutions would be made:...

  • Page 142: Grouping

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Grouping Parenthesis are used for grouping expressions. Expression grouping is useful when multiple expressions are strung together in a line and the normal order of operations must be overridden. The CueScript, operators are always interpreted from left to right. Parenthesis can be inserted into a command string to force different groupings of expressions to be evaluated in a different order.

  • Page 143: Command Context

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Command Context CueServer keeps track of the “context” of the currently executing string of CueScript commands, which allows multiple commands which operate on a single object to be split into completely separate requests.

  • Page 144: Levels

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Levels command and several other methods set levels. Levels are an expression of a quantity from lowest possible value (zero) to highest possible value (full). CueServer allows levels to be expressed in four primary ways, by percentage (the default), or by decimal, hexadecimal or binary notation.
  • Page 145 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Hexadecimal In some instances, it may be appropriate to use hexadecimal numbers to set DMX channel values (such as when setting levels for moving lights, matching colors or adjusting a level more precisely than percentage levels allow).

  • Page 146: Strings

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Strings CueScript commands frequently contain strings. A string is a series of zero or more characters enclosed in “double-quotes”. Examples of strings include: “Hello World”, “Press Stop to Cancel Show Playback”, “button.onColor”, and “My First Show”.

    Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 Selection Commands A selection command is a type of CueScript command that is used to refer to objects in the system. Selection commands can be used in conjunction with action commands to perform actions, or selection commands can be used by themselves to query an object’s value.
  • Page 150 Interactive Technologies, Inc. CueServer 2 User's Manual - 18.5.18 For instance, by executing the command: Channel 1 CueServer will not only select Channel 1, but it will also reply with the current value of Channel 1. Being able to ask CueServer the value of an object is very useful for evaluating expressions.
