1.2: Prompting hardware - QBox
QBox is a hardware scroll device with a difference. It supersedes the Autocue IMT card and
delivers a step change improvement in prompting capability. Its main innovation is that it connects
to the control computer via Ethernet and several other connection options including Firewire,
providing a range of hitherto unachievable user benefits. The script and rundown information is
stored on the QBox and can be scrolled either remotely from the central control computer or locally
by a presenter using a scroll control. The link between the QBox and the control units can either
be wired or wireless, thus untethering the prompter and the camera, opening up exciting new
scenarios in which a prompter can be employed. In addition to opening up new usage models the
QBox provides an unprecedented level of resilience to produce the most reliable prompting
system ever.
