Remote Physical Handsets

Tactile and familiar Presenter control

2 of 7

Application

  • A presenter wants to use an Interspace Industries handset in a remote location instead of using a mobile device with GlobalCue directly ( not a touch screen).
  • This could be another room with no XLR cabling infrastructure where an RF handset is impossible (solid church walls etc...).
  • Or an external site elsewhere on the planet.
  • Both locations need to have internet access (WiFi or Ethernet cable) for this to work.
    • Of course you would not be doing this if you did not!

Control room set up

  • Ensure all machines can see a local Area Network with Internet access allowed.
  • Set up the control as normal, with a separate GlobalCue PC that is a tech machine running GlobalCue and i2Bridge as normal.
  • If using an MC3 instead of CueEther Receiver, ensure it is connected to the GlobalCue PC on Port 1. - Ensure the latest firmware is on the MicroCue3.
  • Set up your Graphics machine(s) with connected CueEther receiver(s) or a MicroCue3 (MC3) with Ports 2 and/or 3 connected to you graphics computers in the usual way.
  • Copy the link for the presenter and send to the “MC3 host device” (see later).

Presenter control -- Option “Computer ”

  • To use a standard handset you will need to convert the cues to an ethernet type communication.
  • Use a MicroCue3 (MC3) with its handset connected to a PC or Mac (MC3 Host Device) that is connected to an Ethernet/Internet connection. - Do not use Globalcue or i2Bridge on this machine.
  • Use the Webpage link that was emailed/sent from the control room GlobalCue to the presenter and open the page - ensure this page stays “in focus” (do not click off the page).
  • Use the MC3 with its physical handset and the cues will action the buttons on the webpage.
    • This action will send cues back to the GlobalCue control.
      • Turn off screen savers.

Presenter control -- Option “Mobile”

  • To use a standard handset you will need to convert the cues to an ethernet type communication.
  • Use a MicroCue3 (MC3) with its handset connected to a mobile (MC3 Host Device) device such as a mobile phone or a tablet on wifi/mobile data. Use an OTG (on the go) cable that is connected to an Ethernet/Internet connection - good wifi or mobile data.- Do not use Globalcue or i2Bridge on this machine.
  • If the host device is running off its own battery ensure it can have either a charger connected at the same time or sufficient battery for the duration of the presentation.
  • Use the Webpage link that was emailed/sent from the control room GlobalCue to the presenter and open the page - ensure this page stays “in focus” (do not click off the page).
  • Use the MC3 with its physical handset and the cues will action the buttons on the webpage.
    • This action will send cues back to the GlobalCue control.
      • Turn off screen savers.

Run you Show

  • As the Presenter clicks the button on the physical handset of the MicroCue3 the cue is sent to the MC3 host - this triggers the webpage and sends the Cue to the GlobalCue server.
  • The Tech PC running GlobalCue and the i2Bridge will receive these commands and send the cues out to the Local area network or to the connected MC3.
  • Using CueEther Receivers the ethernet commands are sent to the Graphics computers.
  • Both the MC3 and CueEther Receivers then control the connected Graphics machines as normal.
