Show Cue System

Quick update on Toolbar issue: Looks like it is solved! Both Dell and Laptop computers do not show the toolbar on second screen...for last 5 shows! Techs performed "disable" on laptop as shown in prior post video. Note: Dell never showed this issue...only laptop. Show has been run 3 times with Dell ...

Brian, Just found this on YouTube: How to Disable the Taskbar on a Secondary Monitor (for Windows 8) . hth. Thanks Mike! This looks like it will for the trick. Sounds like Win 8 added this capability and that's why I never saw this issue on Win 7 or XP. Funny thing is, I did go to task bar properti...

Thanks Eric for the advice. Yes, we are using extended screen on laptop. Resolution has been matched using duplicate screen. Both computers are set up this way. Video drivers are updated on laptop....just performed upgrade yet tool bar still pops up on second screen. Still looking for what is differ...

Sorry for late response....just saw this. Yes, we run DPro and SCS on same computer (either win 8 or win 7 machine on either laptop or Dell desktop...i7 quad core, with NVIDIA GEForce video cards). I have SCS fire MIDI cues to DPro via loopbe (MIDI interface utility...free online). Or some techs use...

I finished upgrading Win 8 with latest updates on both Dell and ASUS laptop. Then uninstalled McAfee antivirus. We are now using Windows Defender for anti virus protection...but disable it for show time. WiFi is also disabled for show time....as well as during off hours. I then upgraded latest SCS 1...

Mike, Thanks for quick response. If I understand correctly, I should make sure each computer is switched through to the Eiki projector upon start up of each SCS. That way both computers will be initialized correctly. I agree with you on the toolbar...SCS has been very reliable in not showing the too...

Can Windows Media Player (WMP) and SCS run simultaneously without clobbering each other? In one of the theaters I advise, some techs are running preshow music on WMP while SCS is invoked and waiting for show to start. Once stage manager gives go ahead, they stop WMP and trigger first SCS cue for sho...

Occasionally, I see the windows toolbar at the bottom of the second screen (Projected image on screen at theater). I am running an ASUS i7 Quad Core laptop with NVIDIA GEFORCE video card, 64 bit Win 8 as a backup computer to the main show computer. The main show computer went down the other night an...

Mike, Another one of my theaters is using SCS 11.2.3 with 15 video WMV cues. They have experienced the same restart of a cue.... (manual cue). I investigated the Video cue carefully, restarted SCS and it worked fine. Then a little later after a few edits, the same issue occurred again.... it would g...

I have used multiple USB external sound cards to increase channel count successfully. For example, I use the Creative Labs Xfi dongle as they are small and provide excellent quality audio...also cheap...~$20 to $30 depending on sales. You will need to define your audio channels in the Editor/Product...

Upgraded theater computer with 11.2.3 a few days ago and all is well. Rehearsals went fine this week and the show last night was "perfect" per the tech running SCS.

Thanks SCS team... job well done.

Lightman

I have just been through 2 weeks of install in a new theater where we have selected SCS as the cuing software of choice. I am happy to report that SCS 11.2.1 rc6 is up and running with 6 channels of audio and an HD EiKi projector. We are running SCS on a Dell i7 Quad Core Desktop with 2 external Cre...
