The Future of unlimited Prompting
The development of the Fully IP-Enabled Workflow by Autoscript has fundamentally revolutionized prompter technology, opening up completely new possibilities for a modern production workflow.
On this page we offer a comprehensive insight into the new world of IP-based prompting.
Fully IP-Enabled Workflow
Autoscript’s Intelligent Prompting technology offers professional users access to a fully IP-based teleprompter solution for the first time. Each element of the IP teleprompter ecosystem has been specifically designed for the intelligent IP workflow, allowing it to operate with unlimited flexibility in today’s dynamic production environments.
The Intelligent Prompting components offer the flexibility to easily integrate over an IP network, pool resources globally and easily implement fail-safe redundancy measures for live broadcasts.
WinPlus-IP - The beginning of a new era
Autoscript has been the leading provider of professional teleprompter software for decades and sets the gold standard in this field. The software developers at Autoscript have opened a completely new chapter in modern teleprompter software with the WinPlus IP software, which has been developed from scratch.
The new ergonomic user interface of WinPlus-IP is modern, clear and allows the user to customize each WinPlus-IP individually to his needs. The Device Manager allows the operator to keep an eye on the status of all connected IP devices at all times, while the absolutely fluid real-time preview ensures precise and fatigue-free working.
Despite numerous improvements and many new functions, WinPlus-IP is easier and more intuitive to use than previous versions.
WinPlus-IP Voice - The voice of a new generation
WinPlus-IP Voice is a major innovation in the world of teleprompter systems and probably the most important innovation since the transition from paper tape to software prompter systems.
With Voice for WinPlus-IP, presenters can use their voice to control their script in real time by simply speaking their text. Autoscript engineers have worked closely with a major US television broadcaster over a three-year period to develop a reliable voice control system that meets the most demanding real-world workflows.
WinPlus-IP Voice uses revolutionary offline speech recognition technology with proprietary algorithms and advanced pattern matching to recognize the spoken words in the prompter text.
Developed from practical experience, WP-IP Voice automatically processes all news and show formats, supports multiple presenters and can even understand regional accents without the need for foot or hand controllers.
Through active listening, it continuously monitors the audio feed of the production and automatically scrolls the script as the words are spoken. Even adlibs are no problem for the WinPlus-IP Voice Add-On, as it simply pauses until the moderator reads the script again.
It is the simplest and most reliable way to control a prompter.
IP Desktop Control, IP Foot Control + IP Wireless Control
The IP concept, which was developed at the time of its creation, aimed from the outset to focus development not only on the technology but also on the user. For this reason, great importance was attached to ensuring that the WinPlus-IP software is easy and ergonomic to use. This focus on usability made it possible to make the IP concept usable for a broad user group with completely new possibilities.
…ergonomic.
In collaboration with physiotherapists, an ergonomic desktop hand control was developed that supports the wrist in a neutral position. The symmetrical design makes the HC-IP user-friendly for both left- and right-handed users.
This has created a controller that is fundamentally different from all previous Prompter hand controllers in terms of ergonomics.
Two freely programmable function keys allow the operator to customize the IP Desktop Hand Control. The Powered over Ethernet connection simplifies system integration and frees up space on the workbench. With the HC-IP, a controller has been created that is fundamentally different from all previous Prompter hand controllers in terms of ergonomics and comfort.
…easy and safe to use.
At home in the world’s news studios, Autoscript not only listens to the technicians and prompter operators, but also to the presenters who control their own text with a foot control.
The FC-IP, the foot controller in the Intelligent Prompting family, was also designed with ergonomics in mind.
The main pedal has a completely new shape designed for use when standing or sitting. The pedal’s finely adjustable sensitivity range further contributes to comfort and safe operation.
…unrestricted freedom up to 100m.
The intelligent, wireless hand control gives the presenters a completely new freedom to move around and control their own text.
Small and inconspicuous, the WHC-IP fits in the palm of your hand and thus remains hidden from the viewer. With the IP Wireless Hand Control, text speed and text direction of the prompter are conveniently controlled by moving a small joystick with the thumb. The IP Wireless Hand Control is suitable for every presenter thanks to the uncomplicated sensitivity setting.
The long range of 100m gives presenters an unprecedented radius of movement.
Xbox-IP, EVO-IP, EPIC-IP, iEVO, HDMI & NDI
The IP workflow does not end with the teleprompter software and the IP controllers. This includes the innovative image output of the text image.
Whether a classic HD-SDI signal, which is often still used in many studio environments, an IP signal path embedded in the optical fiber, a reliable wireless or even NDI signal path is used. IP prompting technology can handle all image transmission paths.
…speaks all SDI formats up to 1080/60p.
As a compact HD-SDI prompter video generator, the Xbox-IP can be easily integrated into classic production environments. The Xbox-IP speaks all SDI languages from SD to 1080/60p fluently in PAL and NTSC.
As a member of the IP-Prompting family, it receives your data via the network, no matter where the computer with WinPlus-IP is located, as long as they can communicate directly with each other.
…the first real IP-capable teleprompter on the market.
Camera prompters, the teleprompter display devices par excellence, are not deprived of their classic inputs such as CVBS and HD-SDI by IP technology, but are extended by future-proof and modern IP signal paths.
This gives studio operators the opportunity today to implant the future-proof technical standards of tomorrow. While classic and still widely used prompter/camera setups are still based on proven video technology, future camera heads will primarily speak IP.
The familiar video triax cable is increasingly being replaced by fiber optic triax, as modern cameras increasingly speak IP.
Autoscript’s innovative IP technology has once again set a standard with its data-saving network technology based on a regular IP protocol.
The data stream of the Intelligent Prompting technology is so small that it never runs the risk of interfering with the camera’s video signal despite the shared fiber optic cable.
EVO-IP and EPIC-IP monitors can therefore be easily connected to the network socket of the camera head, while the IP prompting signal is simply fed into the CCU via TCP-IP.
…discover completely new possibilities.
Autoscript engineers’ strict adherence to the IP network workflow in Intelligent Prompting development enables teleprompter users unique, completely new possibilities.
With the WP-I add-on for WinPlus-IP and the iEVO app, you can turn any Apple iOS device into a fully-fledged, professional and wireless IP teleprompter monitor.
In no time at all, an iPhone becomes an interactive moderation card, an iPad mini becomes a hidden prompter display, an iPad with the PGX OCU10″ becomes an ultra-light DSLR / Steadicam system and an iPad 12.9″ with a PGX UCO13″ becomes an unbeatably light and mobile EB prompter…or just an additional prompter display for editing and directing.
For many studios, advertising, film and industry, these solutions have become an indispensable and reliable tool in everyday production.
A unique feature of using iEVO is that the iOS device integrates seamlessly into the IP prompting ecosystem. For the operator, this means that they can conveniently operate the iOS monitor using their familiar software and controls. For the presenter that all devices always display the teleprompter text synchronously at the same point.
This makes changing the camera view child’s play.
…open for all standards
In order to not only consistently implement the IP workflow, but also to build a bridge to other IP-based workflows, WinPlus-IP supports the output of the prompter image via NDI in addition to its own IP-based prompter signal. Only a WinPlus-IP NDI add-on is required to emit an NDI signal.
Up to three NDI 5 (or lower) can thus be delivered directly via IP from the WinPlus-IP computer. Especially in large infrastructures, it is a great advantage to be able to use existing infrastructures.
With the WinPlus-IP NDI add-on, it is even possible to pick up video signals locally from the Prompter computer’s own graphics interfaces such as HDMI, DP, etc.
