Cuescloud

Cuescloud is a cloud-based software platform designed to manage cues for live performances, broadcasts, and other timed events. It centralizes the creation, storage, and execution of cue data, enabling designers, stage managers, and technicians to plan and execute complex cue sequences across lighting, sound, video, and special effects.

Key features commonly offered include cue scheduling and sequencing, real-time collaboration with multiple users, a cloud-based cue library, remote triggering through mobile apps or hardware interfaces, status monitoring, and audit trails. Many implementations provide role-based access control, version history, and templates to standardize workflows across venues and productions. Integration options often include APIs and compatibility with common lighting consoles, media servers, and show-control systems.

In operation, cuescloud typically stores cues, cuesheets, and timing metadata in the cloud, synchronizes changes across devices, and provides live status updates during performances. It is used by theatres, touring productions, broadcast studios, and corporate events to coordinate cues, rehearsal notes, and run orders.

Advantages include centralized cue management, improved collaboration, and the ability to maintain a single source of truth for show data. Potential drawbacks include reliance on reliable internet connectivity, latency considerations, data security, and permissions management.
