Cuelux is a DMX 512 lighting controller for intelligent lights, LED, dimmers, lasers and various other effects. The programme is platform-independent and available on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. The software is shipped with a USB-to-DMX adapter cable, compliant with the new DMX512-A standard.
Key to the design of Cuelux is its intuitive graphical user-interface. It is specically designed to reduce the amount of time required to learn how to operate the software.

DMX512A + Art-net
The Cuelux software is shipped with a USB to DMX interface. The interface sends out 512 channels through a ESD protected 3-pin DMX512-A port.
Once the hardware interface is plugged in your computer the DMX data is duplicated over Art-Net. This is also useful for connecting to 3rd party visualizers.
Industry-standard cuelist system
The cuelist system in Cuelux, used for programming light sequences, is analog to the systems used on larger lighting consoles like Wholehog, Compulite, GrandMa, etc. It features separate Delay, Fade in & Fade out timing and comes with a shape generator and programmer window.
MIDI Control Surfaces
Cuelux offers plug-and-play support of MIDI control surfaces to provide you with low-cost 'hands-on' fader control. For example the Behringer BCF-2000 is fully supported including feedback to the motorized faders.

iPhone Remote Control
Cuelux comes with a Remote Control application that runs on your iPhone and other mobile devices with a modern Internet browser. This cool web-application currently offers two features: a patch list and a playback button page.
The patch list in the Remote Control displays - in real-time - all fixtures in the Cuelux patch and their settings like mode and starting address. The address is shown in decimal and dipswitch manner. The patch list feature allows the Cuelux operator to go on stage and conveniently set the address on each fixture having all the information shown on his iPhone.
The Remote Control also features a playback button page that can trigger cuelists. Do you need a break from your long gig? This feature enables you to go and get a drink and cue your lights from the bar or dance floor!
100% Touchscreen compatible
All controls in Cuelux’ user-interface are large enough for finger control. There is no requirement for right mouse-clicks or a physical QWERTY keyboard, as the software will pop up a Visual Keyboard when needed.
1500+ Personality files
Cuelux is shipped with a vast amount of personality files that covers all popular brands from Abstract to Zap Technologies and everything in between.
Furthermore, Visual Productions offers a free service for creating any personality file that might be missing. Please refer to the Fixture Request forum for more details.
Sub-fixtures
Cuelux uses the concept of sub-fixtures. This means that some fixtures consist of multiple sub-fixtures, like a 10-channel dimmer rack is - in our terms - just one fixtures with 10 sub-fixtures. This also works for LED fixtures with multiple segments/pixels. In this manner the maximum of 24 will not be reached that quickly (you can add 24 x 10 = 240 dimmer channels). The reason behind the concept of sub-fixtures is that it makes patching easier; you only add the physical fixtures to your patch and you don’t have to worry about setting starting addresses per dimmer channel, or worse, per LED segment.
Multi language
You can choose your own language from the Options menu. The choice of languages includes English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Dutch.
Clipboard & full undo
Cuelux is equipped with clipboard and full undo functions. The Cut, Copy & Paste functionality can be used for any element in the application.
The multi-level undo/redo system, also applies to the programmer window, patch, cuelist system, etc.
Globals
Direct-access buttons for controlling fog machines, strobes and audience blinders. These buttons do not need to be programmed by the user; it works automatically.
