Broadcast Prompting for the IP Age:
Autoscript's Intelligent Prompting Solution
With the IP revolution, media companies are rethinking their
approach to virtually every aspect of production...

T

hey're sold on the potential benefits of
migrating to IP, but they know it's only
going to succeed if all production elements
can work together in a tightly integrated and
seamless way. And that goes right down to the
prompting systems.
Until now, prompting has relied on USB,
video, and serial cables to connect the
controller to the prompting engine and deliver
prompting output to the monitor. An IP-based
operation, however, requires prompting
that can take maximum advantage of IP's
connectivity, flexibility, ease of use, and cost
efficiencies.
Vitec Group brand Autoscript has turned this
vision into reality with Intelligent Prompting,
the broadcast industry's first teleprompting
solution designed to take maximum advantage
of IP's connectivity, flexibility, ease of use,
and cost efficiencies. At the Vitec Group
stand 6J2-08, Autoscript is showcasing

new products in the IPS range for Intelligent
Prompting - including EVO-IPS, the world's
first all-IP prompting monitor, and WinPlus-IPS
software, a simple but powerful prompting
application for smaller productions.
The combination of WinPlus-IPS and
EVO-IPS packages the power of Intelligent
Prompting in a cost-effective, easy-to-install,
and easy-to-use solution that's perfect for
smaller IP-based studios as well as corporate,
educational, and government productions.
Connecting over an IP network to a single
controller, WinPlus-IPS employs many of the
features of WinPlus-IP, Autoscript's premier
prompting software - including a modern,
customisable user interface, super-smooth
scroll preview, and live script editing.
As the world's first IP-only prompt monitor,
the EVO-IPS offers a simple and flexible
workflow, connecting directly to the user's
choice of WinPlus-IP or WinPlus-IPS software

over an IP network and displaying smooth
scroll prompter video without the need for an
additional scroll engine. Users can connect
any number of EVO-IPS monitors and XBox-IP
scroll engines.
Intelligent Prompting takes maximum
advantage of IP networks to support
geographically disperse production facilities,
creating endless opportunities for broadcast
operations to collaborate across geographies
and allocate resources cost-effectively.
A single operator can control the script,
speed, and other prompting attributes in
multiple locations and instantly switch control
to another operator anywhere in the world
when necessary.
For instance, an operator in Hong Kong
can control a prompter in Singapore and
then, from the same workstation, begin
operating a prompter in Tokyo. Likewise, IP
connectivity provides powerful redundancy,
since a second master WinPlus-IP software
application can be installed and then take over
control seamlessly as required.

EVO-IPS is an
all-IP prompting
monitor
