Start Settings
You can set the prompter up to automatically start scrolling text straight away or you can delay the
beginning of the text scroll process by up to 10 seconds after tapping on start.
Remote Settings
Here you can choose to use no remote, an optional wired iOS remote or an optional wireless
Bluetooth remote.
You can also set up text characters like
*#
that indicate a break in the scrolled text called
break
markers
. These markers can then be used to quickly jump forward or backward between points in the
text, when using a remote, should the running order of the production change.
NOTE:
When the application is used without a remote control adverts may be displayed when first
starting up the
DV Prompter
app. To remove the adverts simply connect an optional wired remote or
wireless Bluetooth remote. Please speak with your supplier or dealer if you wish to purchase an
optional remote control.
If using the Bluetooth remote:
First amend the prompting text before pairing the device with the
Bluetooth remote control as the device’s own on screen keyboard will be disabled once paired.

How to quickly add text into a DV Prompter document
The promp
ting script, or presenters’ text, will probably exist as a text document from the planning
stage of the production.
By copying and pasting this script text from the original document into the text body of an E-Mail it can
then be quickly transferred to the smart phone.
When you attempt to forward this email using the smart phone this prompting text can then be copied
into the memory of the phone. Press for a few seconds on a single word in the text and the word will
be highlighted when copy option becomes available. Move the end tabs so the whole of the script is
selected. Then choose or tap on the copy icon.
Now open the
DV Prompter
app and paste the copied text into a new or existing document.
Tidy up the transferred text as necessary, into sound bites and add some
Break Markers
. You now
have your newly created prompting document ready to save.
See page 18 also.
