Connecting a Scroll Control
The standard scroll control used with WinCuePro News is the IMT scroll control.

WinCuePro News expects the scroll control to be connected to this port.
The IMT scroll control will not work if it is attached to any other port on your PC.
Refer to chapter 6 to learn more about all the different scroll controls supported
by WinCue.

card. This port accepts a genlock feed.
1.6 Installing the Hardware - Laptops

all make sure your laptop is turned off.

the settings required in your country. Therefore it should not be necessary to
open the IMT box or change jumpers or dip switch settings.

1. Insert the PCMCIA SCSI card into your laptop
2. Connect one end of the SCSI cable supplied with the SCSI card to the PCMCIA
card and the other to the SCSI port on the IMT box
3. Connect a power cord to the appropriate input of the IMT box (you have a choice
of IEC mains or 12V DC)
