At ProLight+Sound, TTA and Figure 53 will announce the introduction of The Stagetracker Cue to the QLab package. Controlling one audio input in the Stagetracker Matrix, the new Stagetracker Cue in QLab can take a sound effect and fly it around onstage or anywhere else in the auditorium, using the Stagetracker Matrix for localization effect. The Stagetracker Cue also opens up options for controlling live audio inputs, making it easy to localize live audio from wireless microphones in QLab. All this is fully integrated in the QLab play list.
In addition to tracking the actors and the audio from their microphones precisely, now the sound designer can create advanced sound effects in QLab and have them follow the performers' movements, or fly between performers on stage. At any time, Stagetracker Cues can be fired from QLab to control performers' localization outside the tracked stage area, exploiting all the benefits of a complete Stagetracker matrix using controllable delay, level and EQ.
QLab with Stagetracker can be seen in the UK at the OpenStage event in London on 12 May.
