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 the wired remote and set up text characters 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 using the wired remote should the running order of the
production change.
Build Version
Only confirms the version of the software being used.
Using the wired Remote Control
Before you are able to use the wired remote you must first turn on the remote
control feature within the prompter software.
Within the prompter software documents menu scroll down to or tap on the
Settings
option. Then choose
Remote Settings
; from here tap on
Remote
Type
and then select the
Wired
remote option.
Note:
A scrolling speed of 5 should be a comfortable starting point for most
people when using the remote
.
See also Increase and Decrease speed buttons.
Play Button
Use this green button to start the script scrolling.
Stop Button
Use this red button once to Pause the scrolling text. Press this button twice to Stop the script and
bring up the menu bar. You can then exit the application, change text or change settings in the normal
way using the touch screen display.
Increase and Decrease Speed Buttons
These buttons allow the user to increase (arrows up) or decrease (arrows down) the scrolling text
speed. Pressing these buttons allows you to vary the text scroll speed by 3 settings. For example; if
you have the speed set initially at 5 then you could slow the text down 4, 3 then 2 or speed it up to 8.
Break Markers
The increase and decrease speed buttons can also be used to quickly jump forward or backwards
through the script after the script has been stopped with the red button. The script should be marked
in advance with break marker text characters to set logical points that the speaker may need to jump
to should the running order of the production be changed at short notice.
