About CueApp

Each camera operator can use CueApp - CuePilot’s app for iOS or Android.

CueApp has views to display countdown to each cue, and is very customisable.

CueApp works in two modes, either in STUDIO, for use live on a production, or CLOUD, for use reviewing Rundowns and Acts away from the studio.

Camera operators can write their own notes and comments in CueApp

Studio Mode

When you open CueApp, you'll need to enter the setup details to access a Project.

In SETUP, add the IP address of the server and the Project Code, or SCAN QR, to use your devices camera to scan a code that's been prepared. To retrieve the QR code you'll find this in the CuePilot desktop application on the computer being used as the CueApp Server. It is under Setup > 'QR code and Project Code'.

In STUDIO mode, CueApp is connected to a CueApp Server locally, either through a wifi network, or networked directly to the server. Some camera units provide network connection through the triax cable.

Always select STUDIO if you are using CueApp if you are in the studio on a live production. CLOUD mode is for use reviewing Rundowns and Acts when you are away from the studio.

If the CueApp server is active and accessible, there will be a blue dot next to it. If it is not available it will be grey. You need to be on the same network with the correct IP address for the CueApp Server for it to work. Is there is no blue dot, check if you are on the correct network and that the CueApp Server active on that same network.

When you are in STUDIO mode, the Act you are in is controlled by the director, CueApp will always follow the Timeline that the director is playing back. When an Act is played, the Cues will advance.

At the top right, lit up in red, is the 'On-Air' indicator that shows that the CueApp is following the CuePilot.

You can go 'Off-Air' temporarily by tapping on the red signal symbol, should you need to stop and add camera notes, however ensure you re-enable it for your CueApp to follow the CuePilot. Learn more in the video tutorials linked to below.

Adjust your Views

Select the menu icon, then 'Views' to choose the layout.

You can customise the layout and display up to four views in split screen.

A recommended layout would be to have 2 Views, with the View 1 showing All Cameras Cues, and the View 2 displaying Cues for just the camera you are operating.

Cloud Mode

When you are away from the studio, you can use CLOUD mode to open the Project's Rundown, and open specific Acts. You can review your Cues and add camera notes. If media has been uploaded you can review the Act whilst playing the audio or video track. Learn more in the video tutorials linked to below.
