QMaster is targeted at professionals who want a robust, resilient and fully-featured prompting
solution for use in:
• Demanding live broadcast productions and conference events
• News broadcasting - both studio and field
• Dynamic and creative shoots, which require wireless connectivity or
specialised prompting set-ups
• Multi-location prompting systems that are operated over a LAN/WAN or the
Internet
QMaster is supplied with Autocue’s QBox hardware scroll unit which interfaces with the prompter.
The QBox advantages include:
• substantially increased system reliability
• the best script image quality, and
• the ability to use a prompter in situations where previously it was considered
impossible.
QMaster combines the advantages of the QBox with all of QPro's capabilities and features. It is
supplied with a multi-button control unit, ideal for studio applications. Importantly it can be comple-
mented with a number of value-adding extension modules:
• Wireless connectivity (to the central control computer and to control devices)
• Newsroom interface (to all mainstream newsroom computer systems)
• Multi-controller interface (to control a prompter with multiple controllers)
• Multi-head feature (allows each presenter to independently control their
prompter while off air)
