AP prompts ENPS.

Broadcasting & Cable, April, 1999

The Associated Press has added a custom version of BDL Autoscript's WinPlus prompting system as a standard component of AP's newsroom computer systems. The Windows-based WinPlus adds integrated prompting to AP's ENPS and NewsCenter and works with all TrueType and Adobe fonts and with any language or character set supported by Windows.

The custom designed software will drive the PC display, a CGTA-to-NTSC or VGA-to-PAL encoder for distribution of a video signal, and a closed captioning encoder. It can be controlled using the keyboard, a mouse, or an optional hand or foot-pedal device and can be upgraded with additional hardware-assisted features though BDL.
