Autocue QMaster for Complex Languages - Manual (Page 4)

Getting started
This section is designed to get your system setup as quickly as practical so that you can get on
with writing and prompting your scripts. It is written to reflect the most common package that
Autocue supplies to customers: QMaster software, QBox and Contour Design’s ShuttlePRO scroll
controller.
Equipment you will need
Check that the following items have been received:
 QMaster software CD
 Hardware licence dongle
 QBox prompt engine
 ShuttlePRO scroll controller
In order to install and operate QMaster you will also need either a desktop computer or a
laptop. You will also require a separate USB keyboard to perform initial configuration of your
QBox.
If you have an alternative dedicated scroll control device refer to the “Control scrolling of your
script” section later in this manual for information about configuring them for use with QMaster.
If you have also purchased a teleprompter or conference stand to use with the software, refer to
the documentation received with these items for guidance on assembling them.
