Visual Productions CueCore 2 Solid State Lichtsteuerung

The CueCore is a lighting controller for permanent installations. The device is completely solid-state, with no moving parts; it is an extremely secure and low-maintenance installation control solution that has only a minimal power consumption. All operating and programming is done through its dynamic web 2.0 interface.

In fixed installations, often the computer running the lighting software proves to be the weakest link. Failing power-supplies, hard-disks, fans or dust-filled CPU heatsinks are notorious for bringing PCs to a full stop.

The CueCore is designed to operate without a computer; thus lowering the cost of the control system and greatly reducing the need for maintenance.

Lighting Console

Connected to a browser, the CueCore unfolds itself into a 1024 channel lighting controller, complete with a industry-standard command-line interface for fast programming. It features 256 scenes with programmable fade and hold times.

DMX Recorder

With its exceptional value-for-money, the CueCore also features a DMX and Art-Net recorder with a capacity for storing 16 individual tracks. Each track has 1024 channels and is compressed for maximum duration. Multiple tracks can be played back, each with individual master levels.

Show Control

With lighting projects becoming more complex every day, the CueCore features a powerful Show Control logic for advanced system integration. This allows for interaction with other types of equipment and controllers. The Show Control editor enables you to program triggers and actions based on events from scheduled dates or times, time-code, contact-closure or any other incoming signal.

Protocol Conversion

The Show Control editor also allows for powerful protocol conversions between any physical port, like DMX or MIDI and any Ethernet based protocol like Art-Net or OSC.

Scheduling

Features a battery backed-up Real-Time Clock that can trigger events on date, time, weekdays and sunrise or sunset.

Time-code

Trigger events or synchronise playback by time-code. The CueCore can also act as time-code master or convert between SMPTE and MTC.

VisualTouch

For the ultimate stand-alone playback, the CueCore is compatible with the VisualTouch software. VisualTouch is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac & Linux) touch screen user-interface. In the CueCore you can program any combination of buttons and faders that will be available to the operators using VisualTouch. VisualTouch is password protected to insure minimum support or maintenance is required, especially where the interface is for use by the public or non-technical users.

Monitors

Intuitive monitor screens for analysing incoming and outgoing DMX, Art-Net, MIDI and OSC data.

DMX-512

Two DMX outputs and one DMX input. All optically isolated.

Ethernet

Rugged Ethercon connection with support for HTML, Art-Net, OSC and proprietary protocols.

MIDI

MIDI input, through and out ports.

GPI

The GPI port features 4 dry contact-closures, which can trigger any event within the CueCore. The number of contact-closures is expandable by connecting to the Visual Productions' GPI module.

Din-Rail ready

The enclosure is prepared for Din-Rail mounting with an optional adapter.

Power Cable Retainer

A special feature to secure your power cable to the enclosure.
