Software based lighting control desk
Cuelux is an intuitive software controller
for the entertainment lighting industry, incorporating a range of
exciting features.
It is a DMX 512 lighting controller for intelligent
lights, LED, dimmers, lasers and various other effects.
The programme is platform-independent and
available on macOS, Microsoft Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
The software is
shipped with a USB-to-DMX adapter box that easily fits in your laptop
bag.
Key to the design of Cuelux is its intuitive graphical
user-interface.
It is specially designed to reduce the
amount of time required to learn how to operate the software.
Combined
with its affordable price, Cuelux is available to a large audience of
Light Jockeys, DJ’s, free-lance technicians, rental companies and tour
bands.
DMX-512 + Art-Net
The Cuelux software is shipped with the
Cuelux2 USB to DMX interface. The interface sends out 512 channels
through a ESD protected 3-pin DMX-512 port.
Once the hardware interface
is plugged in your computer the DMX data is duplicated over Art-Net.
This is also useful for connecting to 3rd party visualizers.
Industry-standard cuelist system
The cuelist system in Cuelux, used for
programming light sequences, is analogous to the systems used on larger
lighting consoles like Wholehog, or GrandMa.
It features separate Delay,
Fade in & Fade out timing and comes with a shape generator and
programmer window.
MIDI Control Surfaces
Cuelux offers plug-and-play support of MIDI
control surfaces to provide you with low-cost "hands-on" fader control.
For example the Behringer X-Touch Compact is fully supported including
feedback to the motorized faders..

100% Touchscreen compatible
All controls in Cuelux' user-interface are large
enough for finger control.
There is no requirement for right
mouse-clicks or a physical QWERTY keyboard, as the software will pop up a
Visual Keyboard when needed.
4500+ Personality files
Cuelux is shipped with a vast amount of
personality files (sometimes referred to as "fixture profiles") that
covers all popular brands from Abstract to Zap Technologies and
everything in between.
Cuelux is accompanied by the ‘Builder’; our
free-of-charge application for creating and editing personality
files.Furthermore, Visual Productions offers a free service for creating
any personality file that might be missing. Please refer to the Fixture
Request forum for more details.
Sub-fixtures
Cuelux uses the concept of sub-fixtures. This means that some
fixtures consist of multiple sub-fixtures, like a 10-channel
dimmer rack is - in our terms - just one fixtures with 10 sub-fixtures.
This also works for LED fixtures with multiple segments/pixels.
In this manner the maximum of 48 will not be reached that quickly
(you can add 48 x 10 = 480 dimmer channels).
The reason behind the
concept of sub-fixtures is that it makes patching easier; you only
add the physical fixtures to your patch and you don't have to worry
about setting starting addresses per dimmer channel, or worse, per LED segment.
