Hybrid Serial IMT Multi-button Controller

The serial multi-button scroll control is designed to work with rundown queues (rundown

queues are not supported in WinCueProNews LT). It is connected to a free serial port on the

back of the PC. It has a number of additional buttons not found on the I.M.T. simple serial or

on screen scroll controls. These buttons simplify prompting scripts in a rundown as they can

be configured to perform a large variety of functions. In addition this control allows the

attachment of an optional foot control, enabling hands free prompting by a presenter.

7.5.1 Configuring Scroll Controls for Centre Stop Mode

In the Configure Scroll Controls dialogue box, click on Hybrid Serial/ IMT Multibutton

Controller. Now click on the Setup button, the Configure Hybrid Serial Multibutton

Controller dialogue box will appear.

The General tab is used to set which communications port the multi-button scroll control is

attached to and, if required, set it up for Centre Stop Mode.
