Cuescript To Introduce New Messaging Centre At NAB

Cuescript is to introduce the new CUEIT Messaging Centre at the 2018 NAB Show.

The centre allows prompting operators to create and send real-time text messages or timing information to on-screen talent via the prompting monitor.

The new function of the CueiT prompting software allows messages to be fully configurable within the Styles Menu, giving operators the ability to define the message size, position on screen, font, colours and formatting. The messages are displayed on the prompter outputs as overlay, single or multiple messages.
 
In addition to text messaging, operators can provide time information both in the form of a clock - sourced from a local PC clock or internal/external NTP server - and a timer via the MasterClock RC600 device. The RC600 operator control interface provides a Network Control Protocol that allows for IP-enabled CueiT teleprompter solutions to include an integrated count-up or count-down display for on-air talent that is synchronised to real time.

Michael Accardi, President, CueScript, said: "Our customers have asked us for a simple way to communicate with talent on-screen via the prompting monitor – this could be to quietly alert talent to breaking news, ask them to wind up an interview due to time pressure, or relay a reminder of what is coming next. This new functionality within the CueiT software enables operators to add in messages, clocks and timers without disrupting the prompting script."
 
A broad range of CueScript's prompter units and accessories, which are in use by leading broadcasters around the world, will be available for demonstration on Stand C2622 at NAB 2018.
