On-Air Displays
Enhanced Prompting Information Centre
The next generation in Autoscripts prompting evolution
At Autoscript we strive to bring the customer, the user, and the talent the tools to deliver the very best presentations. We are a vital connection between the audience and the talent. For organisations that recognise the value of this connection, there is no compromise. This understanding of our customers need to maintain that audience connection remains the driving force of our continuing innovation. Autoscript has led the way with major developments in prompting for both the scripting software systems and on-camera hardware systems. We were the first to offer LED prompter displays, and having the clearest, brightest and the most legible prompting display should be the first box to tick when choosing a prompter system. We were the first to offer prompters compatible with 16:9 camera applications. We were the first offer HD-SDI compatible prompters. We were the first offer on-air talent monitors that seamlessly retro fit with existing prompting systems the use of which has now become standard in todays broadcast environment to view off-air video or graphics. Reduced weight of overall system reduces counter-balance weight needs, which also broadens compatibility range for support equipment including robotics Reduced power consumption, by using the latest in switch mode PSUs, the EPIC will operate on only 75 watts Plus all the advanced features and functions of the LED prompter series including: - Built-in tally light - Opto Sensor input for tally light - Repeat output for easy relaying of tally signal to other Autoscript tally 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. Autoscript Enhanced Prompting Information Centre. Patent Pending.
The Enhanced Prompter Information Centres feature set offers unrivalled benefits to leading broadcast professionals.

Housed in a new slimline metal case and featuring 50% lower power consumption, a 20 wider viewing angle, and a 20% reduction in weight, the new ELP15Plus builds on the success of Autoscripts acclaimed ELP15 On-Camera Prompter. The unit provides a 15 inch screen with 400 nits of brightness, composite, VGA and S-video inputs and can be powered from either an external 12V DC PSU or by 12V DC from a battery for portable applications. It includes a 3.5mm 12V DC outlet suitable for the ClockPlus,TallyPlus, or CuePlus accessories.
Lightweight Systems
TFT8/HB 8" On-Camera Unit
A new High Bright LED on-camera teleprompter in an 8" screen size, the LED8TFT provides 1700 nits of brightness and offers outstanding performance under daylight conditions with both Composite and VGA inputs. The monitor also incorporates 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 CuePlus products. Other enhancements include 30% less power draw than the TFT8HB, along with a 20% reduction in weight.
Ever-alert to changing trends in television production, Autoscript has developed a new, 1lb on-camera 5.6" LED backlit flat screen monitor with all of the standard functions of its larger cousins, including connections for composite BNC and Hirose power inputs.The MiniScript 5.6 on-camera prompter recognises the increased use of handheld cameras for live and studio-based entertainment production. The MiniScript 5.6 features very low weight and power consumption, a rugged metal case, professional connectors and a scan reverse switch. Outfitting portable cameras with teleprompters provides a safety net for on-air presenters, who appreciate being able to refer to a prompter as they move freely about the set. More importantly, this style of production delivers a live feel that provides an intimacy between presenters and their audiences, increasing creative options for producers and drawing viewers into the action. Although the monitor is mounted above the lens, it is as low as possible to the eyeline, so the talent doesnt appear to be reading over the camera. Small enough to be lightweight, the prompter is nonetheless large enough for the talent to stand comfortably about six feet away from the camera.

Total control
Delivering the perfect operator experience
Smart Combiner Box 2 SCB
Much of Autoscripts advanced technology focusses on optimising the operator experience, empowering them with the control and confidence necessary to give a compelling and authoritative performance. The Smart Combiner Box-2 provides the ultimate for plug-and-play of multiple prompter controllers. It addresses the needs for complex studio environments with broad ranging production needs for scroll control and more streamlined studios where on-air talent are required to control the prompter. Up to six scroll controllers can be connected and active at any time. If more controllers are required, additional SCB-2 units (Smart Combiner Box-2) can looped from the first SCB-2 to expand the number of scroll controllers further. With its built-in intelligence the SCB-2 seamlessly changes prompt control from one controller to another based on the last controller unit used. Controllers can be located up to 300 metres away from the Smart Combiner Box-2. It supports the use of HC-1 optical desktop controller, Magno Foot Control (wired and wireless), RAT Wireless Scroll Control and VoicePlus voice activated prompter.
SCB-W
A wireless version of the Smart Combiner Box, designed to address the growing usage of multiple wireless foot and hand controllers operating in the 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 sets allowing ten channels to be used with two linked units. This feature provides the flexibility of having 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 and wireless 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 for hand and foot controls.

XBox Ultra
More power for your prompting
XBox Ultra
Autoscripts WinPlus software is a Windows-based package. It is Unicode compliant and adds the ease of point and click to an intuitive on-screen edit display. Features include a fully active run order which can be manipulated at any time during scrolling, as well as instant prompt editing. Engineers, talent, IT departments and leading newsroom vendors choose WinPlus because it delivers the flexibility and smart design a professional broadcast environment demands. Based on our successful XBox USB external box solution, the XBox Ultra provides enhanced features and capabilities making it even more ideal, especially for portable prompting. Just plug into a laptop or PC via the USB interface. The video output is standard composite PAL or NTSC and is compatible with all our on-camera units. It runs with exactly the same WinPlus versions that run with the PCI Prompt Card, so no additional operator training will be required.
Key Features (in addition to standard XBox) In screen, real time, smooth scroll preview. Integral VDA. SDI Optional feature. (If SDI is added, only one output will remain analogue). USB II allows faster response time from controllers. Next & previous story selection are instant with no lag. Faster editing and on-screen changes. The Genlock input can be used as the Opto connection. This input is self seeking with no jumper changes required on the board. In essence, you can now run 100-150 metres from the XBox Ultra to a control device or a Smart Combi via the BNC that is marked as Genlock. Anton Bauer gold mount. Graphical HC/1 scroll control on Windows desktop (the current Windows desktop scroll is also still available). Two versions of the XBox Ultra are available:
X-Lite
WinPlus X-Lite is an entry level prompting system. We have reduced compatibility issues, by handling the scan conversion with our own hardware. The X-Lite also includes the new WinPlus smooth scroll circuitry found in our premium products. Suitable for basic use, for simple pieces to camera and educational purposes. We would not recommend the X-Lite for live broadcast.
VoicePlus
Following the spoken word
No more foot or hand controllers. VoicePlus simply follows the spoken word of the talent. The winner of numerous awards including the prestigious IABM award for excellence in design and innovation, VoicePlus is sold as an add-on module to the WinPlus software, eliminating the need for talent or operator to manually control the speed of the text across the prompter monitor. VoicePlus requires no training or learning cycles, the voice recognition intelligence is built in. An on-screen message informs the presenter if Voice Activation is Enabled or Deactivated. Operation of VoicePlus is achieved by simply pressing the function button on either desk controls or the RAT (wireless hand control). Voice modules are now available in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.

ClockPlus
A more intelligent timecode display
The ClockPlus is an LED SMPTE/EBU timecode display which has the added feature of changing colour from green to red when a suitable Tally input is applied. The clock face has 2.25" tall digits that display HH:MM:SS A/P in 12 hour mode or HH:MM:SS in 24 hour mode. The timecode input is taken from either VITC embedded in the video input or from LTC. When a timecode source is connected, the clock will instantly set itself to the input time. If the timecode source is removed the display will continue to update the time under control of an internal crystal oscillator.

CountPlus
Timecode generator
The new Autoscript CountPlus is a timecode generator, timecode inserter and up/down count generator designed for use in conjunction with Autoscripts ClockPlus timecode display. The CountPlus unit embeds SMPTE/EBU Vertical Interval Timecode (VITC) into the NTSC or PAL prompt video and provides two video outputs which can be distributed to all the prompt monitors and ClockPlus units in a studio. The CountPlus will either insert VITC that is fed into the LTC input of the unit or it will generate its own count (either a count-up or a countdown). The user can preset and store ten different combinations of start and stop times. There is also a GPI input on the back which allows the START/STOP function to be triggered remotely.

Accessories
CuePlus
The CuePlus is a tally accessory that provides both a selectable colour range and multiple colour states. These features provide a solution for studios where there is a need to display not only the on-air and off-air state of any camera, but to also pre-tally the camera being cued next. The ability to select from a range of colours addresses the needs of talent with colour vision disabilities or colour blindness. The CuePlus can be mounted on and powered directly from Autoscripts LED line of prompters.
TFT 3.5"
Part of the range of TFT monitors offered by Autoscript is the TFT 3.5". It's the perfect solution for location use for either operator preview or as a straight reading monitor mounted on the camera handle.

We were particularly impressed with the high quality construction of Autoscripts on-camera units. They are robust and well engineered, which is important as they will be moved around the studios a lot. We were also pleased with the brightness of the LED TFT units, and the ease of use of the prompting software which will allow us to import and edit scripts very easily. Paul Northam, Sky Studios Project Manager, BSkyB
We needed reliable, legible systems which could be used in a brightly-lit studio as well as in natural daylight. Autoscripts tools fit the bill in every respect. Jon Bennett, Head of Studio Output, Sky News
It is exciting to see how Autoscript has established a reputation as an industry leader among broadcasters in Spain. This new provision of services to TVE is particularly significant to Moncada since we are able to supply TV with a complete automated on-camera solution. Antonio Jess Rodrguez, Sales Director, Moncada y Lorenzo
Were very pleased with the new equipment. The new hoods are lighter weight and less obtrusive, and the LED backlit screens are much brighter and clearer. In addition, the integrated tally lights eliminate the need for the stickon indicators. Autoscript has always responded to our needs quickly and efficiently, which is largely why we have had a relationship that has been built up and maintained over a period of 20 or so years. Steve Luck, Senior Team Leader, ITN Studios
