I want to have one remote advance a presentation on two seperate computers. One computer will be on stage and the other will be backstage (100ft away). Can I set both the units to the same frequency, so one remote advances both cpus? |

That's correct. The transmitter can broadcast to all units that have the same channel settings. As long as the cue lights are not hard-wired connected, they will not interfere with each other. If you hard-wire them together, you'll want only one unit (the one closer to the transmitter) to receive the wireless command. Set it to "MASTER" and the other to "SLAVE." In Slave mode, the unit will not re-send the trigger command down the wire.

So Just where is the SLAVE MASTER Switch as per this in Features
7 Slave-Master Switch
When two or more cue lights are connected by wire (Cat-5 or XLR cable, set one cue light as "Master" and the other(s) as "Slave." Only the Master cue light receives the trnasmitter's signal. |

The Slave-Master switch is a feature of the current PerfectCue model PC-433BP. The switch is located on the upper right of the back side.
For older models, you must change the RF channel of one of the hard-wire connected units so that it does not receive the RF signal from the transmitter.

Is there a way to use the output port to control GPI function on a switcher? Would a relay be needed? |
| |
The previous model of the PerfectCue (PC-433-SYS) had a special port that provided dry-closure switches corresponding to the Forward(Green), Back(Red) and Blank(Yellow) triggers. This was removed from the new model.
If this feature is important to you, please let us know. We have some of the prior models in stock.

Is there any way to disable the blank button on the transmitter? |
| |
Easy. Reprogram the keystroke corresponding to the yellow link with nothing. Then, nothing will happen when the user presses the blank button.
Don't forgot to program both A and B USB ports.

Any plans for a remote antenna on the receivers? I always try and place any type of receiveng antenna above my equipment to minimize possible electrical interference. I realize it could only be a couple feet as to maintain signal strength through line loss. I also see your transmitters operate at 433 mhz; do you feel these frequencies to be superior to the 2.4 gig range that competitors are presently using? |

Our cue lights are popular among other reasons because of their exceptional RF performance. You probably would not be able to improve reception by placing a unit above other equipment. If you feel you would, you can use another cue light and connect them via Cat5 or XLR cable – set one as the receiver the other as the slave.
No one has reported interference from these 433 mhz radios except with another D'San Cue light – but then you have the option of using 16 (and on the new transmitters, any of 256) channels. We found that the higher mhz radios did not perform as well through walls or people. And we could detect no improvement in speed of the reaction to the transmitter's signals. |

Does the programmer work with an AMX Control System?
If so, how? |

Reply will be posted soon.

There is an XLR connector, RJ45 connector and a four position dip switch that I have no idea what any of them are for. Could be something we could make use
of..... |

Use these connectors to connect two or more cue lights. Put one cue light down stage. Place the second in the back of the room for the projectionist. In this configuration, the speaker sees that his "Next Slide" signal has been received. Although the wireless actuator will communicate with the receiving cue light over 200+ feet, placing the receiving cue light down stage ensure a shorter and more solid wireless link. By the way, the connecting cable carries power as well as the data so the downstage cue light need not be plugged into AC.
The Unit ID dip switch should be set if you want to activate or isolate multiple cue lights tied together on one cable. The Channel dip switch setting must be matched to the channel dip switch on the actuator. You'll want to change the Channel if you are operating two cue lights in proximity to one another, but independently. |

Can you tell me what the differences are between the Perfect Cue and the Do Cue? |
| |
Do-Cue IIW is a small cue light that may be powered by a 9V battery or by a supplied wall-plug transformer. The performance response to the supplied 2-button wireless actuator is equivalent to the PerfectCue. Do-Cue may be connected to a second Do-Cue via Cat 5 cable. Only one unit needs power. Do-Cue IIW-PC contains a male pigtail EBY plug that interfaces with Kodak Carousel or Ektographic slide projectors to remotely advance or go back.
PerfectCue has dual USB jacks that emulate keyboard commands "Right Arrow", "Left Arrow", and "B" that correspond to the green, right and amber lights. A supplied four-button actuator includes a laser pointer. Range exceeds 200-feet in a variety of RF environments. |
