Product Description
Interactive Technologies CS-3480 CueServer 3 Flex+
Overview
CueServer 3 Flex+ is the most flexible model in the CueServer 3 family and is housed in a small ruggedized enclosure that can be DIN‐rail, panel, or desktop mounted.
All CueServer 3 Core processors are built around a high-performance quad-core CPU, custom I/O coprocessor, and Gigabit-capable Ethernet to run the most demanding projects up to 16,384 channels, generate beautiful effects, and to host your custom designed layouts to touchscreens and mobile devices with ease.
CueServer 3 Flex+ offers a top‐panel touchscreen for quick access to function buttons, system status, configuration, and diagnostics.
The back of CueServer 3 Flex+ contains an array of four smart module slots. Each slot can optionally be fitted with a range of expansion modules such as isolated DMX ports, digital I/O functions, serial ports, relays, and more. Smart modules can be used to configure CueServer to the specific needs of each project.
CueServer 3 Flex+ also includes four additional terminal‐block ports that can be individually configured as isolated DMX, Station Bus or RS‐ 485 for a total of 8 I/O ports.
Additionally, CueServer 3 Flex+ features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports to optionally separate lighting data from control data and stereo audio input/output for playing sound effects or music, or SMPTE timecode input.
For ultimate flexibility, CueServer 3 Flex+ can be powered by PoE, PoE+, or a DC input voltage. For powering external button stations or other accessory items, an auxiliary DC output is also provided.
