Autocue QMaster for Complex Languages - Manual (Page 44)

Scroll Controls
Scroll controls are used to control prompting of scripts. They can be connected to either the
computer running the prompting software or to your QBox. The connection can be either a
physical cable or wireless.
Prompting can be controlled using hand or foot devices that use either the USB or serial
interfaces of a computer.
Controls range from simple devices providing basic start, stop and speed control to complex
multi-button controllers that can be individually configured to perform tasks that are specific to
your prompting environment.
Supported scroll controllers
Autocue software is designed to work seamlessly with a range of scroll control devices.
Autocue devices
 Two-button Serial/USB Controller
 Serial Multi-button Controller
 Serial Foot Controller – wired and wireless
Scrolling can also be controlled by:
 standard keyboard number keys
 standard keyboard arrow keys
 computer mouse
Third-party devices

For optimum performance it is recommended that a dedicated scroll control is used when
prompting, but devices such as a standard computer mouse may be used if no alternative is
available.
Hardware and software such as the Virtual Spider Box allow you to have several scroll controls
attached at any time so that if one device fails you can simply select an alternative from the
QMaster menu options.
