This is where it all started! The community room where the Monsignor Schnacky Community Players perform their annual show. We build the stage for three weeks a year.

They only have a couple mics and a piano player (as you can see).

Here you can see the new black background and color coded cues. Sharp eyes will pick out the radio antenna for the power control between the mixer and monitor.

The Jazz CD was our pre-show music. It was set as the first cue with auto-advance so that it just continued to play until show time. Since then, the ability to use a playlist (*.m3u) as a cue has been added.

Here I am at the Blackfriars Theater in Rochester working on the next BIG thing - video projection control! Sorry I look so serious.

The show was the musical RagTime and we used Cue Player to control the Tascam DVD player and projector you see in the following pictures. The program has since improved to be able to play video files and images by itself. A video demo cue file is here. Please use the latest Beta version to check it out.

That is the Tascam DV-D6500 under the keyboard. It has an RS-232 port that will accept commands to go to a particular title or chapter as well as Play and Pause.

If you look closely, you'll see the normal big green Play button is now smaller with a companion Play DVD button. The video cues were able to be blended in with the sound cues so it was a "hit spacebar" show. The program has improved so that you can now use .jpg and .mpg picture and video files instead of the Tascam! It also has a new look with user selectable 'skins'. Here is a link to a YouTube video of the opening of the Spitfire Grill using projections.

Here we can see the video projector as that little rectangle suspended on the right side of the picture.

The images were shown on either various panels (you can see one collapsed on stage) or the scrim when it was across.

This is the installation at Renaissance Performing Arts in Mansfield, Ohio. The computer is also running the wireless microphone control on the same screen. Cue Player will interface with the Palladium software for microphone control.

The theater seats 1402 and to my knowledge is the largest theater Cue Player runs in.

This is how Vinny Osborne set up his use in Dublin, Ireland.

His company, Sound & Music contracts to run sound at various venues and he enjoys the flexability of Cue Player Premium gives him.

Although not exactly an action shot, this is the stage at the Amato Center for the perfoming arts. They have been a Cue Player user for several years.

The technical director there has contributed many suggestions for improvements that are included in Cue Player Premium. Yours could be next!
