Note: Multicontroller functionality is an optional feature. Autocue can

supply the necessary equipment for you to install and the

necessary licence upgrade or it can be pre-installed if requested

when you order your QMaster system.

Multiple controller hardware

There are two recommended ways in which you can attach multiple controllers to your system.
These are:

a multi-connector serial cable with multi-port PCI SCSI card

a USB-multi-port serial convertor

Attach the hardware you have for connecting multiple serial devices to your prompting system
and then install any device drivers. Ensure that the device is recognised by your operating
system’s device manager function.

Virtual Spider Box software

To use more than one serial scroll controller with QMaster you will need to have the optional
Virtual Spider Box application installed and configured.

Virtual Spider Box appears as a separate type of scroll controller that can be selected when
adding controllers to your prompting software.

Configure the Virtual Spider Box

Open the Configure Scroll Controls dialog using the procedure given earlier. The Available

Control Types panel lists all the scroll controls that are used in QMaster.
