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

Where TriCaster tally falls short
TriCaster has robust built-in tally support for hardware tally systems on the local network. What it doesn't cover:
Remote guests
Anyone on Zoom, Teams, or Skype can't receive TriCaster's hardware tally signal. Cue Light reaches them via a browser link.
Multi-site feeds
Remote campus or overflow room not on the studio network. Cue Light works over any internet connection.
Greenroom talent
Waiting talent needs to know when they're on deck. A phone with Cue Light costs nothing to add.
Floor managers
Mobile staff who need situational awareness — Cue Light on their phone covers them without cabling.
Setup on a TriCaster production
- Open Cue Light at the operator positionGo to cuelight.io/app alongside TriCaster software — on the operator's workstation or a dedicated phone at the switcher.
- Distribute display links before the productionFor large productions, copy the display link and distribute via production call sheet, email, or Slack before doors open.
- Signal alongside TriCaster switchingWhen cutting cameras, tap the matching state in Cue Light. A second operator can handle Cue Light if the TD is focused on TriCaster.
