Visual Productions - Cuelux2

Cuelux is an intuitive software controller for the entertainment lighting industry, incorporating a range of exciting features.

It is a DMX 512 lighting controller for intelligent lights, LED, dimmers, lasers and various other effects. The programme is platform-independent and available on macOS, Microsoft Windows and Ubuntu Linux. The software is shipped with a USB-to-DMX adapter box that easily fits in your laptop bag. Key to the design of Cuelux is its intuitive graphical user-interface. It is specially designed to reduce the amount of time required to learn how to operate the software.

Combined with its affordable price, Cuelux is available to a large audience of Light Jockeys, DJ’s, free-lance technicians, rental companies and tour bands. The Cuelux software is shipped with the Cuelux2 USB to DMX interface. The interface sends out 512 channels through a ESD protected 3-pin DMX-512 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.

Cuelux offers plug-and-play support of MIDI control surfaces to provide low-cost ‘hands-on’ fader control. All controls in Cuelux’s user-interface are large enough for finger control. There is no requirement for right mouse-clicks or a physical keyboard, as the software will pop up a Visual Keyboard when needed. Cuelux is shipped with a vast amount of personality files (sometimes referred to as ‘fixture profiles’) that covers all popular brands. Cuelux is accompanied by the Builder, a free-of-charge application for creating and editing personality files. Furthermore, Visual Productions offers a free service for creating any personality file that might be missing.
