Connect and configure your scroll controller
1. Plug the supplied Contour Design ShuttlePRO controller into your computer.
Note: Do not try to install any software that comes with the ShuttlePRO.
7. From the main menu bar select Tools >> Options...
8. On the QMaster Configuration window, double-click on QBox Prompt Engines or click
the [+] sign next to that entry.
9. Click on Scroll Controls to display the Configure Scroll Controls tab.
10. Highlight Contour ShuttlePRO and click OK.
This will install the scroll control device with its default configuration.
If you have to change the configuration of the buttons or use an alternative controller
please refer to the “Control scrolling of your script” section later in this manual.
Create and prompt scripts
QMaster can be used to create scripts. Multiple scripts can be combined into rundowns. Multiple scripts are useful
where more than one presenter will be reading the script or if you are preparing a broadcast with several stories.
Using a single script is better for solo presenters. Also it allows whoever is editing the script to focus on the words
that go into the script rather than the script itself, allowing for more accurate script writing.
Import a script
1. Position the cursor where you want the imported text to be placed in the script.
11. Either hold down the [Alt] key and press [F] >> [I] or select File >> Import... from the
QMaster main menu bar.
