Any way to see Cue List in Full Screen?

[Mr_P]

That's is what I suggested - albeit less succinctly...

The other way is to set the remote mac (stage) to mimic the 'control' mac (foh) by using the remote 'mimic' button in the layers HUD.

This means that you need not program ANYTHING on the remote mac (stage) and everything can be done on the 'control' mac FOH.

This relies on 'broadcast to remote preview' being enabled on the 'control' mac - and a network conecton between the two.

Obviously - content has to be the same on both macs - but the setup can differ between macs, if required, to make programming easier.

Both methods have their pitalls...

Personally - I'd always use a lighting desk!

Sorry Simon - didn't read through your post in detail, just copied and pasted from my email.

It seems that shows not using a dedicated lighting desk for Catalyst as budgets get squeezed - I have found more and more that for long theatre runs, a desk maybe brought in for initial programming, but then taken out for the run.

The interaction between servers, dedicated sync ports, having the ability to view and navigate a cue list from full screen and a more comprehensive Preset system would be very welcome.

Try using OmniGraffle.

I have built dozens of templates in OmniGraffle which run html scripts. The are very easy to write and the interface is so easy to manipulate.

I trigger cues with OmniGraffle as well as presets directly. I have even written scripts in OmniGraffle which call timing specific events and even chases between presets.

It's a little odd to get the hang of at first but I've actually started doing this on shows where in the past I would have had a lighting desk or even as a replacement to a few shows which were run with Medialon triggering MIDI.
