Cues

In this section you can make modifications, import or export cuelists.

Creating a Cuelist

In the Cues > Groups section enter a new cuelist name in an input field and press Create button.

Creating a new cuelist

Each cuelist has following options:

Option	Description
Name	Cuelist name
ID	How many cues inside
Picture	Cuelist thumbnail
Play/Stop	Playback control buttons
Multi/Single	Work simultaneously with other cuelist(s) or not
Repeat	Loop playback or not
Scheduler	Time-based scheduling
Speed/Brightness	Playback parameters
Delete	Remove cuelist

tip

Cuelist name may be edited afterwards by clicking on the pencil icon.

Recording a Cue

Now you have your own cuelist, but it is still empty. You need to record data from any ArtNet source. Select your Cuelist by clicking on its name or image.

Select a cuelist by clicking on its name or image

Press Record button to setup new cue. Name your cue, and click the Grab button on the right of your cue. FPS will be grabbed from your source by default.

Click the Grab button to start recording

In case you would like to specify custom FPS, please uncheck Custom timings switch and specify FPS. It should be the same as a source provided by the device. PPF is usually equal to universes count.

Custom FPS and timing settings

You can see the "Waiting for data" message after pressing the Grab button, which means that no data received and the Recorder is in a waiting state.

After ArtNet sequences reach the Recorder, you will see a message "Recording in progress"

Recording in progress indicator

You need to send ArtNet data from your software / hardware to the Recorder by broadcast or unicast address (2.255.255.255 / 2.0.0.230 accordingly) UDP port 6454 or use Auto node discovering.

ArtNet sequences recording may be stopped by clicking the Cancel button. Repeating the previous steps, you can record as many cues as you need.

info

If ArtNet DMX Triggering is enabled, recording will be started/stopped by triggering events only.

Recording Limits

Total amount of cues and cue lists limited only by SD flash size. The provided SD card has a capacity of 4 / 8 / 16 GB and may be increased in size on demand.

Maximum recorded length for one cue for 64 universes (30fps) is 10 min.

If you need to record a very long cue for more than 10 min, please split it into two or more parts.

Cue or cuelist can be removed with the help of button delete

Cue Output Filtering

Filter recorded cue output by universe and specify IP for each universe or broadcast.

Cue output filtering settings

If you need to filter universes to different IP(s), please follow the syntax below:

Universe:IP:UDPport

Parameter	Description
Universe	Allowed characters [0123456789*]. Universe starting from 0 (e.g. in case of 64 universe first universe will be 0 and last 63). Wildcard character means all universes.
IP	Any allowed IP addresses
UDPport	ArtNet UDP port (usually 6454)

Examples

0:2.0.0.100:6454   # Send universe 0x00 to IP
1:2.0.0.101:6454   # Send universe 0x01 to IP
2:2.0.0.102:6454   # Send universe 0x02 to IP
3:2.0.0.103:6454   # Send universe 0x03 to IP

warning

For backward compatibility reasons, universe numbering starts from 0.

Universe filtering configuration example

Universe Duplication

Universe duplication is allowed. You can send the same universe as many times you like to different IPs.

tip

Please check if IP exists before sending data to it. In case of sending data to non-existing IP, the overall sending process would return an unexpected result.

Example of sending one universe to two different IPs:

0:2.0.0.100:6454   # Send universe 0x00 to IP 2.0.0.100
0:2.0.0.101:6454   # Send the same universe to IP 2.0.0.101

info

If the filtering box is empty, the Recorder will send universes to address specified by default, depending on your unicast settings. So if you specified two universes out of four, two universes will be unicast and two by default depends on your unicast settings.

Universe / IP / port filtering in cuelist settings will have a universe range starting from 0 (not from 1) if user inputs 1:0.0.0.0:1234 it will mean universe 2 is filtered to IP 0.0.0.0 on UDP port 1234.

Cuelist Import and Export

Import and Export buttons for cuelists

You can import or export your cues onto external device, such a PC, with Import and Export buttons.

tip

If cues are long, for example, longer than 5 min, the process can take some time. Please be patient.
