Autoscript was the first prompting manufacturer to apply LED technology to its TFT (thin-filmtransistor) display range, bringing significant advantages over fluorescent backlit monitors.

Alongside increased display longevity and lower energy consumption (particularly important forteleprompter monitors powered from the camera head), Autoscript’s LED TFT-Plus delivershigher contrast levels for greater clarity, and smooth, fast refresh resulting in less strain on theeyes. More detailed text rendering is particularly important for languages that don’t use thestandard alphabet, while the 4:3 format is essential for reducing scanning movement in thepresenter’s eyes.

Features include: Eco Plus – saving power when no active video is present • Preset lowconsumption modes for use with camera utility power outlets • Built-in dimmable tally lightwith Opto Sensor input and repeat output • Illuminated control panel for easy visibility in darkstudio conditions • Optional HD-SDI input • Intelligent, silent cooling.

Enhanced Prompting Information CentreThe next generation in Autoscript’s prompting evolution

At Autoscript we strive to bringthe customer, the user, and thetalent the tools to deliver the verybest presentations. We are a vitalconnection between the audienceand the talent. For organisationsthat recognise the value of this

connection, there is no compromise. This understanding of ourcustomers’ need to maintain that audience connection remains thedriving force of our continuing innovation.

Autoscript has led the way with major developments in prompting forboth the scripting software systems and on-camera hardwaresystems. We were the first to offer LED prompter displays, and havingthe clearest, brightest and the most legible prompting display shouldbe the first box to tick when choosing a prompter system.

We were the first to offer prompters compatible with 16:9 cameraapplications. We were the first offer HD-SDI compatible prompters. Wewere the first offer on-air talent monitors that seamlessly retro fit withexisting prompting systems – the use of which has now become standardin today’s broadcast environment to view off-air video or graphics.

The next stepThe Enhanced Prompting Information Centre (EPIC) is an all-in-oneAutoscript prompter display and on-air talent monitor. The on-air talentscreen is built into the prompter display and simply flips down to offerthe perfect viewing angle.

The major benefits are:

• One piece of equipment doing the work of two

• Simplified camera setup and installation, which also makes it morepractical to bring on-air talent monitors into the field

• Simplified cable management – one power cable for the prompterand on-air monitor, while ClockPlus and TallyPlus are powered via12v DC from prompter; the video signal loops through prompter

• Reduced weight of overall system reduces counter-balance weightneeds, which also broadens compatibility range for supportequipment including robotics

• Reduced power consumption, by using the latest in switch modePSUs, the EPIC will operate on only 75 watts

• Plus all the advanced features and functions of the LED prompterseries including:

- Built-in tally light

- Opto Sensor input for tally light

- Repeat output for easy relaying of tally signal to other Autoscripttally devices

- Mounting points for Autoscript tally devices, ClockPlus, TallyPlus,CuePlus

- 2 x Accessory 12v DC power outlets on 3.5mm mini-jack sockets

- CVBS output for ClockPlus VITC signal.

MiniScript 5.6"LED On-CameraPrompter

Ever-alert to changing trends in televisionproduction, Autoscript has developed a new, 1lbon-camera 5.6" LED backlit flat screen monitor withall of the standard functions of its larger cousins,including connections for composite BNC and Hirosepower inputs.The MiniScript 5.6 on-cameraprompter recognises the increased use of handheldcameras for live and studio-based entertainmentproduction.

The MiniScript 5.6 features very low weight andpower consumption, a rugged metal case,professional connectors and a scan reverse switch.Outfitting portable cameras with telepromptersprovides a ‘safety net’ for on-air presenters, whoappreciate being able to refer to a prompter as theymove freely about the set. More importantly, thisstyle of production delivers a ‘live’ feel that providesan intimacy between presenters and theiraudiences, increasing creative options for producersand drawing viewers into the action.

Although the monitor is mounted above the lens, itis as low as possible to the eyeline, so the talentdoesn’t appear to be reading over the camera.Small enough to be lightweight, the prompter isnonetheless large enough for the talent to standcomfortably about six feet away from the camera.

A new High Bright LED on-camera teleprompter in an 8" screen size, theLED8TFT provides 1700 nits of brightness and offers outstanding performanceunder daylight conditions with both Composite and VGA inputs. The monitor alsoincorporates a built-in tally light and illuminated control panel for easy viewing,and a 12V DC accessory power outlet and mounting for our TallyPlus or CuePlusproducts. Other enhancements include 30% less power draw than the TFT8HB,along with a 20% reduction in weight.

The Autoscript Executive systems have been designedwith knowledge gained within rental divisions over thelast 25 years. The Rise & Fall Motorised Robotic Standsoffer the ability to adjust the height of the standsautomatically. This can be performed by eitherprogramming the stands or using the Autoscript WinPlusConference software. The Rise & Fall stand offers theflexibility for all variations and scenarios when used atawards ceremonies, conferences and presentations.Stand position control data is transmitted via BNC 75Ohm cable. Prompter video can be shared via an on-board video distribution amplifier with termination.

Conference Plus Robotic stand controller software

The Conference Plus software can control up to eightstands. It has an intuitive ‘drag and drop’ interface withgraphical representations of the available connectedstands. The settings for each of the stand heights canbe saved in a database which can contain up to 500speaker positions.

When integrated with WinPlus, marker triggers cansimply be dragged into the script from the ConferencePlus database; the stands will then automatically moveto the desired position when this marker is scrolledover. No additional control is required, the operator canconcentrate on prompting the script while the Standsmanage themselves.

A running order of speakers can also be constructedusing saved information from the database.

The Conference Plus package includes the ConferencePlus software, Coax-USB converter box and USB Cable.

Total controlDelivering the perfect operator experience

Much of Autoscript’s advanced technology focusses on optimising the operator experience,empowering them with the control and confidence necessary to give a compelling andauthoritative performance.

The Smart Combiner Box-2 provides the ultimate forplug-and-play of multiple prompter controllers.It addresses the needs for complex studioenvironments with broad ranging production needs forscroll control and more streamlined studios where on-airtalent are required to control the prompter.

Up to six scroll controllers can be connected and active at anytime. If more controllers are required, additional SCB-2 units(Smart Combiner Box-2) can looped from the first SCB-2 toexpand the number of scroll controllers further. With its built-inintelligence the SCB-2 seamlessly changes prompt control from onecontroller to another based on the last controller unit used.

Controllers can be located up to 300 metres away from the SmartCombiner Box-2. It supports the use of HC-1 optical desktopcontroller, Magno Foot Control (wired and wireless), RAT WirelessScroll Control and VoicePlus voice activated prompter.

A wireless version of the Smart Combiner Box, designed to address thegrowing usage of multiple wireless foot and hand controllers operating inthe same studio environment.

The SCB-W allows up to five separate wireless controllers to be used in a single studio.Additional SCB-W units can be integrated to increase this capacity: two channel setsallowing ten channels to be used with two linked units. This feature provides the flexibility ofhaving multiple wireless foot controllers and/or wireless hand controllers in the same studio.

The SCB-W can also be used with non-wireless Smart Combi units for a mixture of wired andwireless controllers. It is fully backwards compatible with existing RAT Wireless controllers.

The SCB-W uses RF technology on the license-free range (400MHz in Europe/900Mhz in US)and streamlines studio automation by replacing the need for individual wireless receivers forhand and foot controls.

From the world of advanced automotive engineering comes yet anotherinnovation from Autoscript. Known as frictionless magnetic technology,it employs a Hall effect encoder to provide a smooth and sensitiveresponse to gentle foot pressure, giving the talent easy and instinctivecontrol over their own prompting. Autoscript has now integratedfrictionless magnetic technology into its new Magno Foot Control andcompanion Desk Pad, both of which provide an ultra-responsive userinterface for control of prompting systems.

The repeated pushing and twisting action normally applied tomechanical foot controllers inevitably weakens the tension springsused in these devices over time. With Autoscript’s magnet-baseddesign however, there is no spring to weaken or break. In fact theMagno Foot Control is virtually 100% service-free.

Using intuitive desk pad keys while connected directly with the WinPlusprompter software, the presenter can immediately assign specificcontrollers, view which ones are live, personalise them, and enable ordisable them. Whether seated or in a standing position, presenters canuse the Magno Foot Control and companion Desk Pad with equal ease.

Unlike less precise technologies, the Magno interfaces with broadcaststandard coax, enabling a hassle-free connection to the studio’s matrixfor swift, practical set-up and reassuring reliability. The Magno alsooffers a longer life span than conventional technology.

The Magno Foot Control features environmentally sealed speed controlelements that have no moving contacts – good for more than 10million actuations – proven Autoscript Control Net technology, very lowpower consumption and rugged all-steel case construction.

The Wireless Magno Foot Control simplifies the installation of scriptcontrollers into studio environments without the need to runspecialised cabling onto the studio set, and can be added seamlesslyto existing Autoscript installations. Ten channels provide flexibility tohave multiple wireless foot controllers and/or wireless hand controllerswithin the same studio setup. The MFC-W uses RF technology on thelicense-free range (400MHz in Europe/900Mhz in US). The Magno FootControl will not interfere with any other devices and can be used up to100 metres from the receiver module.

The Magno FC and Desk Pad are powered from Control Out connectoror from external 12V DC power supply if using Control Net.
