Director panel
The director runs the show: calling shots, giving cues, and keeping everyone on the same page. Intercom gives the director a layout with every party and the whole crew in one place. You can direct from the Mac running the Hub, or from an iPad or Android tablet.
On the Mac
The director panel is a full intercom station on the Hub’s Mac, using its mic and headset. Open it from the menu bar with Open director panel.
Nobody needs to sign in on the Hub’s own Mac.

Cues
A cue is a short instruction to a whole party:
| Cue | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Stand by | Get ready, it’s coming up. |
| Ready | Any second now. |
| Go | Do it now. |
| Clear | Done; relax. |
Everyone listening to that party sees a banner with the cue and who sent it, and hears it spoken. You can only cue a party you’re allowed to talk on.
