Getting started
This section is designed to get your Starter Series Prompter setup as quickly as possible so that you can start
writing and prompting your scripts.
Prepare and connect the prompting hardware
It is strongly recommended that you view the demonstration video showing the preparation of an Autocue
starter series prompter. Click “Play Demonstration Video” on the main menu of the installation CD.
You can also view the video on the Autocue web site: http://www.Autocue.com/autocueppvid

4. Use the screws of the camera mounting plate to attach it to the underside of your
SSP unit.
5. Secure the whole assembly onto your chosen tripod.
Note: It is likely that the position of the unit will have to be adjusted after you have
mounted your camera so that it is balanced on the tripod. A balanced camera and
prompter assembly will make it easier to perform smooth pan and tilt shots.
Position hood
6. Loosen the four thumbscrews of the hood assembly.
7. Raise the hood to the vertical position.
