AutoScript WinPlus remote iPad prompting system allows ‘live’ script updates on location

By site editor Dan Chung:

There are several iPad teleprompter solutions out there nowadays, but at BVE in London last month Vitec were showing a system that has some unique features. The new WinPlus remote iPad based prompter is designed to be used on location or in remote studios and can be integrated with the main AutoScript WinPlus system of a TV network.

It allows scripts to be downloaded and synchronised between field and studio via FTP, so that everyone is working to the same script no matter where they are. For breaking news and sports the script can be updated ‘live’.

A full Autoscript WinPlus system isn’t a prerequisite to use WinPlus remote. Users of other systems can manually copy scripts to the WinPlus remote FTP server and they can still be viewed remotely.
