Cameo DVC CUE - Professional USB to DMX Interface

The Cameo DVC CUE interface, paired with software developed by the renowned company Daslight, offers a comprehensive solution for controlling DMX-compatible lighting devices. The device allows for convenient programming and playback of lighting scenes from a PC or Mac, as well as standalone operation without the need for a computer connection. It is a reliable tool for lighting technicians, DJs, stage crew, and anyone involved in professional lighting operations on stages, in clubs, theaters, or during outdoor events.

Product Features

The interface offers 1024 DMX channels in live mode and 512 channels in standalone mode, which can be expanded to four DMX512 universes, totaling 2048 channels. The device operates on a plug-and-play standard, ensuring rapid installation and immediate readiness upon connection. 10 backlit buttons allow for direct playback of saved scenes, while the ABC button enables navigation through 5 zones, where a total of 99 scenes can be stored. The interface also supports calendar triggering, available with the optional ESApro 2 software, allowing for automatic scene activation at specific times of day.

Full Control Over Stage Lighting

Thanks to the Cameo DMX software created by Daslight, users gain an intuitive and easy-to-use tool for programming lighting scenes. The software is available for free download for Windows and Mac OS X systems, and fully supports Cameo D 4 / Daslight D4 software mode. The interface is also compatible with iOS and Android systems, providing even greater flexibility in daily work and allowing lighting control from mobile devices.

The USB-C port serves both for power supply and communication with the computer, while four 3-pin DMX outputs ensure connection to a wide range of lighting devices, such as moving heads, lasers, strobes, and LED spotlights. Additionally, the Ethernet port enables external control, which is particularly useful in more complex stage and studio installations. Smart Update Technology (SUT) allows for easy firmware updates, ensuring the device always operates with the latest features and fixes.

The standalone mode is a major advantage of this interface. Scenes programmed earlier on a computer can be saved to a microSD card (SDHC cards up to 32 GB are supported) and then played back directly from the device. For standalone operation, a standard 5V USB power supply is sufficient. This makes the interface ideal for locations where connecting a computer is not possible, such as clubs, theaters, churches, or outdoor parties. The ability to save 99 scenes in 5 zones offers extensive creative possibilities and allows for quick switching between different lighting settings during a performance.

Furthermore, the ability to expand from two to four DMX512 universes means the DVC CUE interface is suitable for both small and large installations. Initially supporting two universes, the system can be expanded to a full 2048 DMX channels as lighting needs grow, allowing control over very extensive lighting setups. This makes the investment in this interface future-proof and cost-effective in the long run.
