Director and crew

CueProX is built around a clear split: one person runs the show, everyone else follows along. The interface reflects this distinction in the two kinds of surfaces it provides.

The director view

The director view is where the show is controlled. Cues are advanced here. Alerts are sent here. The message panel is here. Q&A moderation happens here. Everything that requires a decision goes through the director view.

It's designed around one decision-maker. There's no co-pilot mode, no shared cursor — one person is in control at a time. That person is typically the director, though an associate director or a technically experienced team lead can step in if needed.

Output screens

Output screens are read-only displays. Each team has its own: the sound team's output shows their cue notes, the lights team sees their timing, the stage manager sees what's active and what's next. The presentor view is a full-screen confidence monitor for whoever is on stage. The Q&A public page is where audiences submit questions.

None of these require a login. They're accessed by URL — keyed to a specific room and team — and they update automatically as the director advances cues. You open them on whatever's convenient: a laptop at the mixing desk, a tablet on a stand in the wings, an old phone propped up at a podium.

Who sits where

In a typical production setup:

• Director view — the director, running the show from a laptop or tablet with the interface open
• Sound team output — sound engineer's laptop at the mixing desk
• Lights team output — lighting operator's screen in the booth
• Presentor view — a screen or tablet on stage, visible to the host or speaker
• Stage roster — a monitor at stage left for the stage manager
• Q&A public page — displayed on a congregation-facing QR code or screen

There's no limit on how many devices can show a given output. Two sound engineers in different positions can both have the sound output open. A stage manager and an assistant director can both watch the roster.

It's not a hard wall

The distinction between "director" and "crew" is a useful simplification, not a strict rule. Certain crew roles get additional capabilities inside the director view.

A Q&A Moderator, for example, can approve, reject, and answer questions through the moderation panel — without having access to the cue list or any other director controls. An Associate Director can step into the director seat if the primary director needs to step away. Team coordinators can manage their team's notes directly.

Permissions in CueProX are role-based and per-room. You assign them in the room's Access settings. The system scales from a two-person operation where one person does everything, to a large production with a full crew and dedicated roles for each function.
