Unican Open Cue Driver

The Unican Open Cue Driver receives position data from Unican Open Cue (OpenPosIP) automation systems over UDP. Each packet carries multiple drive IDs with their position values (in millimetres); the driver decodes each as a tracking axis inside Designer.

In most setups, the default settings are suitable; adjustments are only required when your Unican system uses non-standard ports, IP filters, or multicast addressing.

Uses

Section titled “Uses”

Use this driver when you need to:

  • Receive position data from Unican Open Cue automation hardware over UDP.
  • Map drive positions to PositionAxis objects for content alignment or stage motion synchronisation.
  • Integrate Unican-controlled motion into a Disguise workflow.
  • Support both unicast and multicast network configurations.

Driver Properties

Section titled “Driver Properties”

Unican Open Cue Driver

This driver listens on UDP port 16000 by default.

Port

The UDP port on which the driver receives data. Set this to match the port configured on the sending device or controller.

IP filter (optional)

Restricts incoming data to a specific source IP address. Useful when several sources are present on the network, or to isolate a single sender. Leave blank to accept data from any IP.

Multicast address (optional)

The multicast group address used by your system. Only required when the sender is configured for multicast — enter the exact multicast address used by the emitter. Leave empty for unicast or broadcast configurations.
