Control scrolling of your script

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

Serial Multi-button Controller

Serial Foot Controller – wired and wireless

Scrolling can also be controlled by:

standard keyboard number keys

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.
