What it is

One cue list. Every screen.

CueSurge brings every piece of a live show under a single operator window. Pro video playback to dedicated outputs. A unified cue list that fires media, slides, audio, graphics, lower-thirds, ATEM cuts, DMX lighting, and Stream Deck actions. Independent Program 1, Program 2, and Confidence buses. A live agenda screen that follows the run-of-show. A presenter view with timer and alerts. iPad + phone remotes. Built for corporate and live event operators who work on the cart.

Stream Deck plugin · v0.2.0

Fire cues from your Stream Deck.

Official Elgato plugin — GO, transport, quick timers, output overrides, master volume, and Jump-to-cue. Live key titles pull from your CueSurge cue list, so every key knows exactly what it fires.

  • GO / GO ALL / Stop / Pause / Resume / Prev / Next
  • Black Screen · Logo · Presenter · Confidence overrides
  • Master Vol + / − with live dB, Mute kill
  • Jump-to-cue by number or name, autocomplete from your cue list
  • Auto-connects on the same machine — no config
Installs into the Stream Deck desktop app on double-click. Works with Stream Deck Mini, MK.2, +, and XL.
Elgato Stream Deck XL with CueSurge key mapping — GO, GO ALL, Stop, Pause, Resume, Restart, Prev, Next on top row; output override keys below; timers and camera cues below that.
CueSurge Teleprompter rendered on a laptop, iPad, and iPhone — the same script driven from the operator window shows on every screen a presenter can see.
Teleprompter

Prompt from any screen. Fire from the cue list.

Big readable text with section markers. Drop the prompter on a laptop at front-of-house, an iPad on the podium, or a phone in the presenter's hand — same script, same scroll, same GO.

  • Auto-jump to a cue's linked marker when the cue fires
  • Adjustable font, line height, and margins for prompter glass

Features

Built for the rig you actually work on.

Cues fire video, slides, audio, ATEM cuts, mixer scenes, DMX, PTZ, and Stream Deck — from a single, predictable operator window.

Cue-Based Show Control
Feature 01

Cue-Based Show Control

One cue list drives video, slides, audio, graphics, ATEM cuts, DMX lighting, PTZ presets, and Stream Deck actions. Sections, color-coding, target buses, and triggers — every cue lands where it belongs.

Pro Video & Slide Playback
Feature 02

Pro Video & Slide Playback

Hardware-decoded video to dedicated outputs. Per-cue crossfades, trim handles, speed, gain, loop, and independent audio routing. Slide decks import from PDF, PowerPoint, or any image.

Multi-Output Buses
Feature 03

Multi-Output Buses

Independent Program 1, Program 2, and Confidence buses. Route any cue to any output, mirror across outputs, or send to all. Side-by-side monitor wall for every bus, click-to-focus.

SuperSource Composer
Feature 04

SuperSource Composer

Drag-resize live sources, slides, and program feeds into a single composition. Picture-in-picture, 2-up, 4-up panels — save layouts as presets and recall them as cues.

VS Battle Mode
Feature 05

VS Battle Mode

Side-by-side dual-program mode for band battles, debate stages, and A/B pitch shootouts. Two independent slide decks + PREV / NEXT / STOP per side, live program feeds, and a QR-code hand-off so each team drives their own side from a phone.

QR Remote — instant hand-off
QR Remote — instant hand-off
Feature 06

QR Remote — instant hand-off

Scan a QR code from the operator window and the phone or iPad becomes a controller. Two roles — Phone (compact GO / STOP / cue list) or iPad (cue list + per-program transport + Graphics + ATEM). PIN-gated, LAN-only, no accounts, no cloud. Hand a producer an iPad and walk away.

Switcher Control
Feature 07

Switcher Control

Direct Blackmagic ATEM control over IP. Program / Preview tiles, transition style + rate, AUX routing, USK / DSK keyers, macros, and fader bar — drive it from the operator window or from cues.

PTZ Camera Control
📷
Feature 08

PTZ Camera Control

Panasonic AW-UE, Sony VISCA, and PTZOptics cameras. Joystick + 9 presets per camera, live snapshot preview, and per-camera profiles. Fire camera moves from the cue list.
