WinDigi prompting software has been specifically written and designed to interface with ENPS’s Media Server Communications Protocol (MOS). This tight integration with WinDigi via the MOS protocol enables ENPS to control all the features of the WinDigi prompter automatically so improving the efficiency of the prompting function in a busy newsroom environment. Via MOS WinDigi can request any rundown or multiple run-orders to be prompted, accept rundown and script changes automatically during rehearsal and live transmission. Using the MOS interface with WinDigi also allows for an even closer interface with ENPS for presenter preferences such as True type font choice, size and style, colour, bold, italics, underline and reverse background/foreground.

Using the MOS Active X implementation WinDigi can remotely access any run-order, or start at any story in the run-order. The prompter output can be controlled by a hand control, a Presenter foot control and soon a voice control releasing the need for the presenter to use a foot control or have an operator.

WinDigi is fully Windows 2000 & XP compatible and via the MOS gateway able to interface ENPS in most languages. Portaprompt is a member of the ENPS MOS Partner group and actively supports the ENPS MOS user group meetings.

The screen shot below is from an ENPS Newsroom system showing the Portaprompt Prompter Active X plug-in on the lower right.

It is possible from this Active X plug-in to select different prompters across the network,  view the actual output from each prompter, see what they have loaded as stories/running orders and that they are displaying the correct story.

It allows the News Editor to control which running order and story a prompter is using by simply clicking on the name from the lists. 

It is also possible to control the presenter preferences on the prompter from the Editors desk.
