The CUE SERVER is the heart of the system. It coordinates communication among all clients, stores and retrieves data, and links all computers on the network together.

A typical install consists of 1 server and multiple clients:

Note: It is possible to run the CUE SERVER on one of the other computers on the network.

The CUE SERVER serves events to the various computers telling them to perform actions at the appropriate time. The Following event types are supported:

* Time based

* Script based

* Link based

The server is also responsible for keeping the scripts and Cue lists of all computers on the network in sync.

Data for all projects on all computers(i.e. Sound project, Lighting project) is stored on the server.

Media files are stored locally for optimal performance but can be backed up by the server for disaster recovery.
