Autoscript EVO-IPS15 on-camera package with carbon fibre hood c/w WP-IPS

Class-leading Autoscript design and the flexibility of IP
The new EVO-IPS is a cost effective IP-only solution for progressive modern studios. The standard bright prompt monitor uses the super slim chassis of the more highly featured EVO-IP, with a depth of just 42mm. As the world's first IP only prompt monitor, the EVO-IPS offers a very simple and flexible workflow. It connects directly to WinPlus-IP or WinPlus-IPS software application via an IP network; displaying smooth scroll prompter video without the need for an additional scroll engine. One single Ethernet input is all that's required! The monitor is configured in WinPlus-IP(S), where users can control brightness, contrast, sharpness, image flip and the on-screen clock.

Designed for ENG camera/lens setups, the EVO-IPS on-camera system comes with Autoscript's new Intelligent Prompting mounting and carbon fibre hood. The complete monitor, hood and mounting assembly has been carefully calculated to minimize the number of parts, vastly improve setup time and reduce the lens opening at the back of the hood. For other camera setups EVO-IPS on-camera systems can be created with large or small folding hood. All on-camera systems are designed to remove the need for counterbalance and so make the teleprompter significantly lighter.

- WinPlus-IPS Software Application -
WinPlus-IPS (WP-IPS) is a simple but powerful application ideally suited for single operator productions. Designed with corporate, educational and government productions in mind, the software employs many of the features of WinPlus-IP, including the modern customizable user interface, super smooth scroll preview and live script editing. WinPlus-IPS will connect over an IP network to a single controller.

An HC-IP desktop hand control is supplied with the software and optional foot and wireless hand controllers are also compatible. Any number of EVO-IPS monitors and XBox-IP scroll engines can be connected. The device status tool enables monitoring and management of the devices, including firmware updates and configuration of EVO-IPS monitors. Simplified menus presented above the relevant content area, make the software easy to navigate. Multiple run orders can be loaded for multi-script content, while specialist features such as newsroom connectivity and closed caption generation have been removed for simplicity.

- HC-IP Desktop Hand Control -

Comfortably the smartest control
The HC-IP desktop hand control has been ergonomically designed to maximize performance and comfort. From providing a neutral hand position with adequate wrist support and left or right handed operation, everything was considered to create a controller that is radically different to the options previously available.

Using Power over Ethernet, the HC-IP requires just one Ethernet cable for both power and network connectivity. A light clearly indicates the power and connectivity status to the user. The three main buttons are centrally positioned in an elevated section of the controller for comfortable access with either hand. A programmable function button on either side of the scroll wheel include a choice of illumination color for easy reference. The HC-IP represents a major step forward for operators everywhere who use scroll controls on a daily basis.
