Importing from Cuelux
It is possible to import a show file made in Cuelux, another lighting software
package made by Visual Productions. After copying the Cuelux show file to the
iPad using iTunes it will become visible in the show file listing. The Cuelux
show files remain read-only. Opening this file will import the patch and some
playback settings. The cues, however, will not be imported as Cuelux saves this
information in different style.
5.2 Patch
After successfully connecting to the hardware the logical next step would be to
create a patch. A patch is a configuration in which you tell the Cuety which
DMX fixtures you are using. Cuety supports a maximum of 64 fixtures. These
fixtures can be of many different types and brands.
5.2.1 Adding fixtures
To add fixtures to your patch first select one or more fixture cells. Then press
the ’Personality’ button. This will popup a dialog (figure 5.5) that lets you tra-
verse through the library of personalities (also known as profiles). Personalities
are descriptions of a DMX-512 capable apparatus. Cuety is equipped with a
large library of approximately 3.500 personalities. It includes popular and even
obscure brands, it ranges from moving lights to special effects.
