10.1 Using PC90 Stands
This function is only available in systems where the PC90 Stand option has been
enabled in the license and where Autocue PC90 stands are available.
PC90 Motorised Control Stands are used to display text to the speaker during
speeches, this section will explain how to configure and use these stands for WinCue
Pro News System.
Firstly, connect the stand to a serial port on the back of the computer that will be
running WinCue using the lead provided.
Note: It is important to remember which serial port you connect it to.
10.2 Configuring WinCue
With WinCue running go to the Tools menu and select Options. A list of options will
appear one of which will be Automation Services. Double-click on this option or click
the plus sign next to it to reveal two options - Local Device List and Master Device List.
Highlight Master Device List by clicking on it and a blank list will appear on the left.
Click on the Add button to add the new device.
Make sure the device type is set as PC90 Automated Conference Stand and then
type in a name for the device. Select OK and specify the settings for the stand. The
COM port is the serial port number that the stand is connected to. The Stand no for
presenters specifies which stand is controlled for the presenter in a multiple stand
setup. In a single stand setup this can be left as Stand 1.
Click on OK and this device will appear in the list. Now add it to the local device list
as well so it can be controlled from the machine running WinCue. Highlight Local
Device List by clicking on it and then click on Add to add the device to the local list.
Select the previously named device by clicking on it and then click on OK. The
device is added to the list. The configuration is now complete.
