Resolume Arena/Avenue Setup

Supported Versions

CueSync drives Resolume Arena 7 over OSC (Avenue is untested) — clips, columns, layer and master levels, effects, decks, tempo and fades.

Step 1: Enable OSC Input in Resolume

1. Open Resolume → Preferences → OSC.
2. Enable OSC Input.
3. Note the port number (default: 7000). You can change this if it conflicts with another application.
4. Open Preferences → Web Server and switch it on (default port 8080). CueSync uses it to check the output's health; with it off, the output shows as down shortly after it connects.

Step 2: Configure CueSync's OSC Output

1. Open CueSync → Network → Outputs and click + (Add Output).
2. Under Category pick Video, then Resolume Arena.
3. Enter the Host / IP Address — 127.0.0.1 if Resolume is on the same machine, or the Resolume machine's IP if on a separate computer.
4. Port fills in as 7000; change it only if you changed Resolume's OSC input port.
5. Click Add Output, then open the output again and click Test Connection. The status turns green when Resolume responds.

Step 3: Fire Resolume from Your Cues

CueSync addresses Resolume by number — layer, clip, column and deck, counted from 1 — and sends the matching OSC address for you. Common mappings:

On the Cues screen, click +, choose a trigger (a beat, a phrase, a hotkey…), then Add Action → your Resolume output → Resolume. Pick the kind — Clip, Layer, Master, Effect, Deck, Tempo or Raw — and fill in the numbers. A Fade (OSC ramp) action moves a layer's opacity or volume over beats. To let Resolume follow the deck's tempo, add it under Settings → Auto Pilot → BPM Sync (Add Sync Target).

Step 4: SMPTE Timecode for Timeline Sync

SMPTE LTC output is available in every edition. Frame-accurate timeline playback in Resolume works like this:

1. In CueSync → Settings → Timecode → LTC Output, switch on Enable LTC Output and pick your audio interface's output device.
2. Route that channel to Resolume's audio input (a loopback cable or virtual audio device).
3. In Resolume, enable LTC input in the timecode settings.
4. Resolume will chase CueSync's timecode for frame-accurate clip playback.

Tips

• Use Auto Pilot (with a Pioneer deck or Local Audio) and beat or phrase cues for DJ sets — no pre-programmed timeline needed
• Use SMPTE Timecode for corporate events or theatre with a fixed run order
• Cues to a Resolume with OSC input switched off still read green (OSC is UDP) — fire a harmless layer opacity and watch Resolume's layer before doors
