Media management & show control
One cue. Every screen.
Cueford runs every projector and display in a museum or visitor experience from one browser. It schedules what plays through the day, and delivers each visitor narration in their own language, on their own phone, in sync with the image.

Platform
Three jobs, one system
Most visitor experiences need a playback system, a show controller and an audio guide, usually from three suppliers. Cueford does all three, and they share a single clock.
Schedules and cues that run themselves
- Day plans: opening, day mode, evening, close
- Cue lists with standby and go, by hand or on a timer
- Projector power and shutter over PJLink
- Touch-screen kiosks for staff and visitors
Narration on the visitor's own phone
- Scan a QR code. No app to install.
- Choose a language, then listen in sync with the wall
- Works with phone speaker, wired and Bluetooth headphones
- Any number of languages per station
How it works
One clock for every screen and every phone
The Cueford server sits on the site's local network. Players and phones keep time against it, so audio and image stay together. There is no dependency on an internet connection during opening hours.
STEP 1Install
A small server and one player per screen on the site network. The players use standard hardware.
STEP 2Program
Upload media, build the day plan and cue lists, and add narration per language, all in the browser.
STEP 3Run
The show runs on schedule. Staff see the status of every station and can take over with a single cue.
