Autoscript, a Vitec Group brand, launched its next generation of presenter controls at IBC. The controls promise a longer life span than conventional technology.
The Magno Footcontrol utilizes frictionless magnetic technology inspired by advanced automotive engineering to overcome one of the main handicaps of existing control devices, which use a compression spring mechanism.
The Magno control connects directly with the WinPlus prompter software and features in-built intelligence to allow production staff or multiple presenters to allocate any controller for use at any time. Using intuitive deskpad keys the presenter can assign specific controllers; view which ones are live; personalize them and enable or disable them.
The Magno also interfaces with broadcast standard coax enabling a connection to the studio's matrix for a quick setup.
