Live Cue & Message System
Director to talent. Real-time. No radio. No hand signals. No interruptions.
The SyncedCue cue system is a real-time messaging layer on top of the teleprompter. Connect any device via QR code and it becomes a cue controller — type a message or tap a quick cue, and it appears instantly on the reader's screen, stage monitor, or green room display.
The connection runs over your local network. No cloud, no internet required for sync.
