Cue Lights

Cue Lights

Cue Lights are an essential part of any live production, providing silent, instant visual signals to camera operators, presenters, directors, and crew. Cue lights communicate silently and effectively in much the same way that traffic lights do, some as basic as red for "warning", yellow for "stand-by," and green for "go, we're live!" Cue lights are vital for recording and communication in sound-heavy environments, ensuring instruction and timing coincide without verbal interruption. Cue Lights keep all your performers and crew completely in sync, with no sound required!

Why Use Cue Lights?
Cue Lights are part of the process across multiple industries! Versatile and customizable, they serve traditional on-air broadcasters and crew in TV and news studios as well as camera operators in live event streaming and presenters in corporate boardrooms. Backstage, they're used to cue performers or stagehands indicating it's safe to enter the stage and they can trigger scenery transitions or special effects perfectly for live production. If your production requires constant communication with succinct timing, Cue Lights are the perfect solution for you!

FAQ

How does a Cue Lights system work?
Cue Lights run off a master transmitter, which sends signals to individual receivers, wired or wireless. These signals tell the receiver what action to take: Stop, Standby, or Go. Master Cue Lights feature different preset options with different timings to allow you to customize cues to fit your scenario.

Why choose wired cue systems over wireless options?
Wireless Cue Lights usually have a max range of about 300 Feet, with extended versions reaching up to 400 Feet (please note that obstructions and radio interference can reduce this range). With a wired system, you can continually daisy-chain systems to send signals much further, unaffected by line-of-sight restrictions.
