General

The Power Cue Store is suitable for use as a backup to any DMX lighting controller,
storing up to 64 scenes of all 512 DMX channels. Install it as the first device in the
DMX chain after the controller.

Alternatively, it can be used as a stand-alone playback unit, once it has been loaded
from a controller or from a memory card.

The Power Cue Store is designed to be rack mounted. It takes up one rack unit of
space, is 7.3 inches (186 mm) deep, and weighs 7.7 pounds (3.5 kg). The 5-pin XLR
DMX connectors and the mains input are mounted on the rear panel. There is also a
25-pin sub-D connector on the rear panel for optional external control by a 10V/12V
analog controller.
