May 14th, 2009

So here is the quick start guide to getting What Cue Desktop and the iPhone/iPod Touch client working together in Demo Mode.

  1. Download the current version of the What Cue Desktop
  2. If you already have the Desktop version, Click “File->Check For Updates” to make you are running the current version.
  3. Get the iPhone Client from the Apple App Store.
  4. Check that your iPhone or iPod are on the same wireless network as the mac running the Desktop version.
  5. If you have not already done so – start What Cue on the Desktop. You should be presented with the Starter Window
  6. Click “Open Demo Show” – this will load up the demo show that comes with What Cue.
  7. If the Demo Control panel doesn’t appear automatically click “Demo” then “Show Demo Controls”

  9. Press Apple-Shift-G – this will simulate a GO from the lighting desk – the phone and the Mac should now be showing the same cue.

You should be up and running in demo mode. You can connect multiple phones – and they should all connect easily and be in sync with the desktop app. Next Post will be Importing your own show and connecting a lighting desk via a USB Midi Adapter.
