A change, not a rumour.
The rundown the caller works from is the same record the deck, the shop and the producer are reading. When it changes it changes for all of them at once — and only one person is able to move it.
- Blocks and segments with the department named on every cue, so whoever has to do the thing can find their own line
- Crew mark themselves ready from their phone and it lands on the board the show is being called from
- Standby arms the cue and warns the room; a separate GO is what puts it on air — two acts, because one act is how a cue goes early
- Insert, hold or reorder while it runs. The change is the live document, not a note somebody promises to pass on
- Every other screen works its display out from the server's live state — none of them advances the cue on its own
- Show CallThe caller's console — standby, GO, hold, step back, on the keyboard
- Director modeThe call sheet view, with the program feed and the call-out
- Crew ViewThe rundown filtered to one department, on a desk
- PrompterTalent script, armed from the on-deck cue, on a display that checks in separately
- Ops AlertsRanked on the dashboard while the room is live
- Emergency OpsThe plan the building was handed, and the incident somebody has to write down afterwards
Who is on it with you
Nothing here fires a device
This is a calling surface, not a show-control system. It reads no timecode — no LTC, MTC or SMPTE — and speaks no MIDI, OSC or GPIO. It does not drive a switcher, a media server, a lighting desk or playback, and it is not an intercom. There is no cue automation of any kind: no auto-advance, no follow timers, so every GO is a human pressing a key. A cue that has to fire a device still fires from the desk that owns that device; what changes is that the whole room is looking at the same list while it happens. And anything the app pushes to a phone is a browser notification, which needs push keys on your deployment and each person to have turned them on for that device — so it reports how many devices took it rather than telling you the room has been told.
