Tally Light for ATEM Constellation — Internet-Native
ATEM Constellation productions are large enough to have remote talent, multi-site campuses, and crew who aren't on the studio network. Cue Light gives all of them a tally signal — over the internet, on any device, free alongside your existing tally hardware.

Where ATEM Constellation tally falls short
ATEM Constellation productions are complex enough to have dedicated tally hardware — Blackmagic MultiView, third-party tally boxes, or Tally Arbiter installations. These cover the camera operators on the studio floor. What they miss:
Remote talent and guests
Anyone connecting via Zoom, Teams, or Skype can't receive a hardware tally signal. Cue Light reaches them over the internet.
Multi-site events
Remote campus or overflow room not on the studio network? Cue Light works over any internet connection.
Floor managers and producers
Staff who need situational awareness but aren't at a fixed camera position — Cue Light on their phone costs nothing to add.
Talent in greenrooms
Waiting talent needs to know when they're about to go on. A phone with Cue Light display costs nothing and requires no cabling.
Setup on a Constellation production
- TD opens Cue Light at the control deskOpen cuelight.io/app alongside ATEM Software Control on the TD's workstation or a second device. No install.
- Distribute display links before the eventFor large productions, copy the display link and send it via email, Slack, or the production call sheet before doors open. Anyone can bookmark it.
- Signal alongside ATEM switchingTD taps Cue Light states alongside ATEM cuts. Keyboard shortcuts: 1 = Live, 2 = Preview, 0 = Off. A second operator can handle Cue Light if the TD is too busy.
