CUE STACK

See the whole show before you press GO.

Each cue represents one moment in the show. Video, audio and external actions sit across the same row, so you can see exactly what every output will do before firing the cue.

One cue. Every output. Every action.

SCENE VIEW

Build what each screen plays.

Scenes make individual outputs easy to build and manage. Drop in video, images, audio and other supported sources, position them where you want them and play them individually, layered together or as a sequence.

Use a Scene for a single piece of media, a layered composition or a stack of content that plays in sequence.

ASSET LIBRARY

Import once. Use it throughout the show.

Keep videos, audio, images and show media organised in one place. Preview assets, trim them, adjust playback settings and reuse them across scenes and cues without importing the same file repeatedly.

GLOBAL COLLECTIONS

The media you use on every show.

Keep frequently used media available across every WareCue project. Company idents, walk-in music, test files, holding graphics, sponsor assets and stings can live in Global Collections instead of being imported into every new show.

MULTI-OUTPUT

Four screens. Four different jobs.

Run different content on each connected display from the same show. Your main screen can play a video while another holds a sponsor graphic, another carries presenter information and another waits on a holding scene.

Different media. Different resolutions. Different orientations. One cue stack.

Need more than four? WareCue Nodes extend the same show onto another Mac or PC over LAN, adding another four video and four audio outputs per Node.

CONTROL

Control WareCue from anything. Trigger anything from WareCue.

WareCue can sit inside the rest of the show rather than becoming another isolated playback application. Trigger cues externally and send commands to other systems from inside the same cue.

REDUNDANCY

Every Master licence includes a backup.

A WareCue Master licence includes two Master activations for the same show — giving you an active machine and a standby machine without buying another licence.

MASTER AACTIVERuns the show. Holds the playhead and drives every output.
MASTER BSTANDBYSame show file, same Nodes, licensed by the same Master key.
↓ SAME SHOW FILE · SAME NODES

Because the show should not stop when a computer does.

The two machines pair over the network and stay on the same show, with a heartbeat keeping their roles in sync. WareCue coordinates the takeover; the cut between them is made by your AB switcher.

WARECUE NODESCOMING SOON

Gain outputs with nodes. All running the same show.

WareCue Nodes extend the same cue stack across additional Macs or PCs on the LAN. Each Node adds another four video and four audio outputs without creating another show for the operator to manage.

4 VIDEO + 4 AUDIO

One cue stack. One GO button. Outputs across multiple machines.

THE RULE
Following another WareCue = Node. Running its own show = Master.
NODE → MASTER
Need the Node to run an independent show later? Upgrade it to Master and only pay the difference.

Built for shows that need more than Play.

LIVE EVENTSAwards, conferences, launches, presentations and corporate productions.
ATTRACTIONSTimed experiences, museums, immersive rooms and interactive attractions.
INTERACTIVE PLAYBACKLet apps, sensors, buttons or other systems trigger media and show cues.
MULTI-SCREEN SHOWSRun different content across independent outputs from one operator interface.
TRY FIRSTNo card, no time limitSign up, download Trial Mode and build a real show before you buy. No payment details, no trial clock — the programme outputs are simply watermarked until you licence the machine.
OFFLINEThe show machine does not need the internetLicence keys are signed and verify locally. A machine bolted into a rack with no outbound network activates exactly like a laptop.
YOUR MEDIAYour files stay on your machinesWareCue copies media into your show folder and reads it from there. Show media is never uploaded to us.
FAILSAFE LICENSINGLicensing never interrupts a running showIf a subscription expires, WareCue does not interrupt playback. Licensing changes take effect at a later launch, never halfway through an event.

Build the show. Press GO.

Download WareCue and build a real show before deciding whether to buy it. Trial Mode has no time limit — only the programme outputs are watermarked.
