The Followspot Cueing System

The spot plot that
follows the console.

Spotlight Maestro retires the paper followspot plot. Every operator gets a live cue sheet on their own screen. It tracks your ETC Eos console, scrolls itself to the cue you are actually in, and keeps every spot, the caller and the production desk on exactly the same page.

  • Tracks your ETC Eos console
  • Up to twenty followspots
  • Any device with a browser
  • Runs offline

What it does

Everything the paper plot could not.

Built for live production. One master plot, up to twenty spots, and a room full of devices in sync and always up to date.

Follows Eos, cue by cue

The app follows the active cue on your ETC Eos console and scrolls every device to the matching spot cue, centred and ready. Toggle tracking off and drive it by hand, by keyboard or by foot pedal whenever the moment calls for it.

One plot, every operator

The master plot lives on one machine on the Eos network. Operators join from any device with a browser and pick their own spot. Multi-user and edits sync live, so a change made at the production desk is on the spot plots before the next cue lands.

A calling script, written for you

Every cue becomes a spoken line: “Spot 1, pick up Max at 100% in half body, over three seconds”. The wording comes from an editable lexicon of your own shorthand. Read it live or print the whole script.

Roles that match the room

Author, Admin, Operator, Operator (can edit) and Touring Operator. Everyone sees what they need and only authorised users change what matters. Every edit is logged against a name and a time, with an undo history behind it.

Built for the show network

Fixed IPs, no DHCP, no internet. Devices reach the plot by name in any current browser window. No software to download to each device. Nothing loads from the web while it runs: the app carries everything it needs, and every device on the network accesses the same plot data.

Paper when you want it

Import the plot you already have from CSV and export it back out. Produce operator sheets, the master plot or the full calling script as clean PDFs for backup documentation or printing.
