Connecting a Scroll Control

Laptops normally use the IMT scroll control. The IMT scroll control port is the 9

pin analogue port on top of the IMT box. WinCuePro News expects a 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.

Connecting a Composite Video Feed

The IMT box is made in two versions, one has four BNC composite outputs and

the other has one. These ports supply the composite video feed to the prompter

screen(s). You can connect your video cable to the BNC output.

See C3 and C4 in Appendix C for further details.

Connecting a Genlock Feed

The genlock port is the BNC port next to the IMT scroll control port on the IMT

box. This port accepts a genlock feed.

Connecting a Power Supply

The IMT box can be powered from one of three different sources; the mains

power supply, 12V DC and an optional PAG battery (UK version only).

A reset button is provided on the IMT box to reset the IMT scroll card.

1.7 Restarting Your PC

Once all the WinCuePro News hardware has been installed restart your PC.

Warning for Laptop Users

!

Laptop users must switch on the IMT box before switching on the laptop.

This is to ensure the PCMCIA SCSI card successfully detects the IMT scroll

card.

1.8 Installing the Software

It is assumed you have already successfully installed your chosen operating

system on a PC and this meets the minimum hardware requirements.
