Step 1: Installation of the Software

In order to be able to create an instance of the Autocue device instance on
the Dalet side, make sure that:

Exchange and Distribution setup has been run, with the option
Integration Gateway checked, on the computer(s) which will host the
MOS server. You have to end all Dalet applications, including Dalet

Service, as well as the name server in order to run this setup.

Install the Autocue software.
The computer running the Autocue software has to be registered as a host
in the Dalet site.

Step 2: Dalet Side

Open the MOS AdminðMOS Device branch of the Admin module

and create an instance of the Autocue teleprompter.

Fill in a name for the device instance (and a description ). Make sure you
select the computer of the Autocue as a host.
The port number has to match the settings on the Autocue-side (2001 by
default).
Enable the Incremental checkbox, otherwise the teleprompter, once
loaded will not automatically update when changes are made to the
rundown/story content.

Make sure you select ASCII, since Autocue does not support UTF 16.
