Your presenter needs to know when they're live. Your camera operators need to coordinate silently. Cue Light gives you professional tally signals at any venue — free, no hardware to ship or configure, works in 30 seconds.
The corporate video problem: You're shooting at a client's office, a conference centre, or a hotel ballroom. You've never been in the space before. Hardware tally requires pre-rigging and local network access you may not have. Cue Light runs on cellular — venue infrastructure is irrelevant.
| Situation | Hardware Tally | Cue Light |
|---|---|---|
| Unfamiliar venue | Need local network access | Works on cellular — no venue network needed |
| Executive presenter | Hardware unit on their desk | Their own phone — scan QR, done |
| Multi-camera coordination | Hardware per camera position | Each operator's phone — free |
| Remote executive (hybrid) | ✗ LAN only | ✓ Browser tab anywhere |
| Setup time on shoot day | 30–60 min hardware config | 30 seconds |
| Cost per shoot | Hardware amortised + transport | Free |
