On-Air(Teleprompter)

Applies To:              

  

Audience:                          

The On-Air tool is used to present your news live by using the built-in scrolling teleprompter. You can test or preview any audio simply by using hotkeys, or with your mouse.

You can start the prompter scrolling by pushing the 'insert key', and fire an audio clip by hitting the space-bar. Users have the ability to 'can' a cast with the 'Fast Cast' option, where you record your voice at various places within the cast and insert actualities.

Scroll speed is easily adjustable for every user, and the built-in 'stopwatch' keeps track of your on-air time.
