No capture card. No encoder. No rack.
Zero hardware.
Real-time captions on YouTube.
Maestro Console posts live CEA-608 closed captions straight to your YouTube ingestion URL — and the same keypress drives your surtitle projection and every language on your audience's phones.
CUE 247
One keypress. Three destinations. No drift between them.
Space fires the cue. The projection jumps to that line, the stream gets the caption, and every connected phone updates — from one action, off one script, in every language the script holds.
OSC → Glypheo
Above the stage
Maestro drives your existing Glypheo projection over OSC. It does not send "next" and hope — it sends the absolute cue number, so the screen is pinned to the line you just fired. Undo re-sends the earlier number and the projection follows it back.

On the livestream
The cue is posted as a live CEA-608 caption to your YouTube ingestion URL — several streams at once if you run them. Nothing sits in the video path, so there is no capture card and no encoder to rack. A delay dial lines the captions up with the picture your viewers actually receive.

In the audience's hands
Anyone on the house network opens one page and picks their language. Every language in the script reaches the phones — not only the two the stream can show — so the surtitles carry languages the projection has no room for. No app, no download, and nothing leaves the building.

How a performance runs
Three phases, and the only one that happens during the show is the middle one.
01 / 03
Load the script
Excel, CSV, plain text, SRT or PowerPoint. In a spreadsheet one row is one cue and each column is a language, so the languages cannot drift apart — they are the same row. Pick the one or two that go out on the stream; every other column goes to the phones.
02 / 03
Run the show
Space fires the current cue to all three destinations at once. Undo does not just step back — it re-fires the previous line, so the wrong caption is overwritten rather than left up. Escape clears the stream and the phones for instrumental passages.
03 / 03
Hand over the recording
Recording writes an SRT subtitle file for each stream language, timed from what actually happened on the night, alongside a performance log of every cue, undo and blackout that you can export when the curtain is down.

Send a scene and the languages you run, and you get it back as a working session rather than a slide deck.
