Autoscript Launches Prompting Control Accessories At IBC 2012

Autoscript, part of Vitec Videocom, a Vitec Group company, will launch two new accessories for its industry-leading promptersthat use the latest technological innovations in their design and manufacture at IBC 2012.
Autoscript will release a new and improved version of its wireless handheld scroll controller, known as the RAT (Receive and Transmit). The RAT 3 has a new RF module, enabling it to use more channels, and features a power saving option that enables a 9V battery to last up to three months. The enclosure has been redesigned to make it more comfortable for the presenter/talent, while the physical size of the RAT3 has been reduced to accommodate smaller hands.
The popular HC/1 five button deskpad control panel has also undergone a redesign, employing a Hall effect sensor to give even greater longevity and absolute prompt control. Autoscript has also improved the aesthetic look and feel of the HC/1 in response to the growing numbers of these unitsbeing used by presenters on the studio floor; the new design fits better with modern studio design.
Both products will be available to purchase from the end of September 2012
Brian Larter, Managing Director, Autoscript, said: "As always we have thought carefully about the ways in which presenters and producers want to work, and have employed the latest technologies to enhance our products so that they meet and exceed today’s professional broadcast requirements."
Visitors to Stand 11.E55 will also see Autoscript demonstrate the E.P.I.C. all-in-one prompter display and on-air talent monitor for the first time in Europe, as well as key enhancements to its WinPlus software, and introduce more voice modules for its Voice Plus voice activation software, with support now available for Norwegian and Italian. Also on display will be the Magno Wireless Foot Control that allows presenters to control the speed of the script anywhere within the studio location without the need to run cabling, and the Smart Combiner Wireless Receiver that allows up to four separate wireless controllers to be used in a single studio.
