System Overview

Status Cue is a versatile and powerful lighting control system with the ability to
control Color Pro, Cyberlight, Cyberlight CX, Dataflash AF1000, Intellabeam, Stu-
dio Color, and Trackspot fixtures. Status Cue also offers preset fixture types for
numerous additional lighting instruments. These other fixtures enjoy the same
sophistication of control as High End products such as Cyberlight with the use of ded-
icated controls, palettes and other advanced features. A library of supported fixtures
from many manufacturers is supplied and is constantly expanding. The console also
features standard MIDI and MIDI Show Control protocol capabilities. The many
advantages afforded by the Status Cue system make it the obvious choice for control
of automated lighting in any professional situation.
The Status Cue Console interfaces with a Pentium or 486 microprocessor based per-
sonal computer fitted with one or more LinkCards which in turn interface with the fix-
tures. Status Cue for Windows runs under Microsoft Windows 3.11 or Windows 95 on
a desktop PC 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 con-
ventional 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
also comfortable to learn, featuring a control architecture hierarchy that makes sense.
Status Cue has four levels of system configurations. These configurations
allow you to use the Status Cue system to control and operate fixtures in a
rehearsal or performance situation. The configurations are:
• Basic Setup
• Expanded Setup
• Redundant Setup
• Performance Only Setup
