CueSync speaks Pixera's Native API over TCP — start, pause and stop timelines, move the playhead and apply cues, addressed by timeline name so a show file survives a project rebuild.
Commands go to a Pixera API Access slot as JSON-RPC 2.0 over TCP. TCP returns replies, so a wrong timeline name is reported to the operator instead of being silently ignored.
Play, pause and stop a timeline, set its current time, apply a cue by index, or start the first timeline — each fired from beat drops, energy changes and phrase transitions.
CueSync addresses timelines by name through Pixera's Compound namespace, so a show file survives a project rebuild — handle-based addressing changes whenever the project is rebuilt.
Timeline moves land on the downbeat — CueSync locks to beat phase, not just BPM.
Drive Pixera alongside lighting consoles, projection and lasers from the same audio triggers.
The Pixera connection state and health are always visible, and a failed send CueSync can detect raises an operator notification.

Integration details
What CueSync's AV Stumpfl Pixera integration sends, which ports to open and how it behaves — the things you can check before the show.
CueSync drives Pixera through its Native API: one JSON-RPC 2.0 object per command over TCP, using the Compound namespace so timelines are addressed by name. Commands follow AV Stumpfl's published API examples.
CueSync times cues to the beat phase of the music and is designed for live production. What you see and hear end to end also depends on your network, console or media server, and fixtures, so confirm the whole chain on your own rig before a show.
CueSync ships 15 output protocols from a single desktop application: grandMA2 (Telnet), grandMA3 (TCP OSC and UDP OSC), Avolites Titan, ETC Eos, ChamSys MagicQ, Resolume, disguise (d3), VIOSO Player/Show, AV Stumpfl Pixera, TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine 5, QLab (TCP and UDP), MIDI Show Control, Pangolin Beyond, and Custom OSC. Every CueSync edition includes every protocol.
