SKU# CS-STATIONPlease Note: The CueStation Mystique and Ultra series come standard with White plastic housing and no LEDs. If you would like to customize your CueStation, please specify your color choice from this chart and include it in the "Order Notes" section at checkout or call us at (281) 324-0908 The CueStation family of button stations are attractive, sophisticated and customizable – perfect for use in projects that require a small panel of buttons that can control automated lighting, audio, show playback and other similar actions. Choose from digitally networked stations or simple passive switches, different button styles, LED options, housing colors, engraving options and much more. Use CueStations as a remote control accessory for our CueServer lighting automation processors or your own custom projects. Mystique Series The Mystique series features 1/2″ (13mm) square buttons available in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 button configurations. This station provides a soft touch and allows the keycaps to be engraved. Each button has an indicator LED next to its top-right or top-left corner (depending on which side of the station the button is located). Individual key caps may be engraved or the top of each column may be engraved on the cover plate. Ultra Series The Ultra series features high-tech horizontal buttons with LED indicators on the left side of the buttons. This station provides a designer style with tactile button response. The Ultra series is available in 1 through 6 button configurations. Engraving is available on the Ultra series on the housing area above each button. Passive Wire Network Passive CueStations simply provide dry-contact switch closures for direct connection to devices that are expecting a contact closure to activate an event. There is a single terminal for each switch plus an extra terminal which is the "switch common" on the back of the station. For example, on a six button station, seven conductors would be needed (the six switches, plus one common). The Passive CueStation is designed to be directly connected to the contact closure inputs and digital output ports of a CueServer processor, however, these stations can be used in a wide variety of custom applications as well. Digital 2-Wire Network This technology uses a topology free and polarity free simple 2-wire network to connect the individual stations together so that any combination of home-run and daisy-chained connections can be made without regard to the polarity of the two conductors. The 2-Wire button stations are controlled by the Universal CueStation Hub, which can power up to 10 individual 2-Wire stations, for a total of up to 80 buttons (and indicators). For systems requiring more than 10 stations, additional Hubs can be used and/or a combination of the 5-Wire stations can be used. The Hub can be connected to the host system by either RS-232 or Ethernet protocols (which are fully documented). Digital 5-Wire Network The Digital 5-Wire Network type of CueStation was designed to provide an increased number of stations on the same network with greater cable distances. This technology uses a 4-wire network to connect the individual stations together in a daisy-chained topology. The 5-Wire button stations are controlled by the Universal CueStation Hub, which can power up to 50 individual 5-Wire stations, for a total of up to 400 buttons (and indicators). For systems requiring more than 50 stations, additional Hubs can be used and/or a combination of the 2-Wire stations can be used. The Hub can be connected to the host system by either RS-232 or Ethernet protocols (which are fully documented).

SKU# CS-NET-HUBSThe CueStation Universal Network Hub is a multi-purpose interface for controlling button stations that use either 2-Wire or 4-Wire network technologies. The Hub acts as both a power supply for the stations as well as a gateway for allowing host systems to receive button events and instruct the button indicators to illuminate in various ways. The Network Hub is not used with Passive stations. The Network Hub communicates with the host system by RS-232 messages and/or Ethernet messages. Note: Alternate power supply options are available for this product. If you would like to order this product with an Australian Plug Set or a UK/European Plug Set, please include that request on the "Order Notes" section at checkout.

SKU# DMX-RJ45-SPLITTERThe IT-SP8R is an ultra-compact 8 Port RJ45 DMX512 Splitter for use with DMX installations wired with Category 5 (CAT5) cabling. Each output port of the IT-SP8R is an independently protected DMX signal that can be run up to 1,500 feet (500 meters). Since DMX signals cannot be wired in a star network configuration without being re-created by an active splitter, use the IT‑SP8R to branch DMX signals out to DMX devices in multiple locations or to extend the 1,500 foot (500m) maximum distance from the DMX source.The IT-SP8R includes DMX Input and Pass-Thru ports with a handy line termination switch. It also includes a polarity inversion switch that allows the IT-SP8R to internally convert between DMX512 standard wiring and inverted wiring used by Color Kinetics® devices. IT-SP8R| North American DMX 8-Way RJ45 Splitter Includes North American power supply IT-SP8R-AUST| Australian DMX 8-Way RJ45 Splitter Includes Australian power supply IT-SP8R-EURO|UK/Euro DMX 8-Way RJ45 Splitter Includes UK/EURO power supplyFeatures:
- RJ45 Ports for easy connection in DMX systems that use Category 5 cables
- DMX Input and DMX Pass-Thru Ports for daisy-chaining multiple splitters
- 8 Independently generated and protected output ports
- Each port can drive a DMX line an additional 1,500 feet (500 meters)
- Port protection circuitry includes Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) and Self-Resetting Poly-Switch Fuses to prevent a fault on one port from affecting the Input or other output ports
- Can be used in systems wired for DMX512 or Color Kinetics® devices
- User-selectable polarity inversion for converting between DMX512 and Color Kinetics® wiring schemes
- User-selectable input line termination switch
- Ultra-compact design provides 8 DMX ports just 14in2 (90cm2)
Configuration:
The IT-SP8R has two user-selectable configuration switches.
Termination:The DMX standard recommends that the last device in a DMX chain be properly terminated. If the IT-SP8R is the last DMX device on the DMX network coming from the Lighting Controller, the DMX Termination Switch should be ON.
Polarity:
There are two primary wiring schemes used for DMX data being carried on CAT5 cabling -- the “standard” DMX wiring, and a different scheme used by Color Kinetics® products. The IT-SP8R has a switch that can be used to invert the polarity of the data from the Input port to the 8 Output ports. If DMX wiring is used on both the input and outputs, or if CK wiring is used on both the input and outputs, then the Polarity switch should be set to Normal. If the wiring on the Input side of the IT-SP8R is the opposite (DMX-to-CK or CK-to-DMX), then the Polarity switch should be set to Invert.
CAT5 DMX Wiring:
The following chart shows the standard DMX512 usage of each conductor on a CAT5 cable, plus how Color Kinetics® products are wired, and how the IT-SP8R is internally wired in order to accommodate both types of wiring.
When the Polarity switch is set to "Normal", the Data +/- signals are passed to the output ports unchanged (as shown in the chart). When the Polarity switch it set to "Invert", the Data +/- signals are reversed when passed to the output ports to effectively convert from the DMX wiring style to Color Kinetics® or vice-versa.
