How To

Web Remote

CueStudio 2 has a built-in web remote server. Run the show from a phone, tablet, or any computer on the same network: no app required.

#Turn it on

  1. Open Tools ▸ Remote Server… (⇧⌘R) and press Start Server.
  2. The window then shows the connection URL (this Mac's IP and the port) and a QR code.
  3. On any device on the same Wi-Fi network, scan the QR code with the camera, or type the URL into a browser. The default port is 8082; change it in the same window before starting the server. If nothing connects, check System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Local Network and make sure CueStudio 2 is enabled.

#What you can do from the remote

  • See the full cue list and which cue is currently playing or armed.
  • Press GO, Stop, and Pause.
  • Switch between cue lists (when the show has multiple lists).

The remote always mirrors the active cue list. Any change on the main machine (cue fires, list switches, cue edits) is reflected on the remote within a heartbeat.

#Multiple operators

Several devices can connect to the web remote simultaneously. Only one at a time should press GO in a live show to avoid double-fires, but multiple observers (stage manager, ASM, director) can watch the cue list at once.
