9.0 Installation
9.1 Inspecting New Prompter and Accessories
Each item should be inspected as it is unpacked to see if any damage has occurred in shipping. If so,
please file a claim with the shipping carrier. Please retain the original packaging in case it is
necessary to return the unit.
Any missing items should be noted and brought to the attention of the shipper.
9.2 Installation Requirements
The following requirements should be observed when installing a CSM17/19 V2 prompter.
Do not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of 40°C / 104°F.
Do not block any ventilation holes in the prompter cabinet. Free flow of air is required for proper
operation.
Use the power supply cord supplied with the unit. Connect the cord to a grounded AC mains outlet.
EMC and Safety Compliance: CSM17/19 V2 Prompters have been designed for EMC and safety
compliance. The installer or operator is responsible for compliance of the system as built and
operated under the regulations governing such use.

10.0 Connectors and Controls
10.1 AC Power
AC Mains Inlet: IEC socket with built in fuse holder and ON/OFF switch
AC Mains Cord required: Three wire 18 a.w.g minimum conductors with IEC socket and country
appropriate plug. Safety ratings such as UL or TUV are preferred.
Fuse type: 5X20mm Fast acting glass fuse rated at 3A 250V AC.
Example fuse: Littelfuse part no. 0235003.HXP
The fuse must only be replaced with one of the same type and current
rating.
10.2 DC Power
The CueScript prompters require a regulated supply of 12 volts DC rated at 4 amps. Alternatively, a
battery with sufficient capacity may be used. The prompter is designed to operate in the range 9V –
18V DC.
Prompter Connector type: 4 pin XLR Male plug
Mating (cable) connector: 4 pin XLR Female socket; example is the Neutrik NC4FX

10.4 Composite input termination
The composite input can be set to high-impedance (for “daisy-chain” operation) or 75 ohm
termination. The input termination is set in the menu –see page xx for more information.
10.5 SD/HD/3G-SDI Prompter and Talent Inputs
The SDI inputs will configure themselves automatically according to the SDI format presented. The
inputs are compliant with SMPTE 259M-C, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE424M standards.

10.6 SD/HD/3G-SDI Auxiliary output
The Auxiliary SDI output is set in the following way (monitor Video Firmware 1.23 or later):
Press and hold the input select button marked "IP", after 5 seconds or so the monitor will
momentarily display "Auxiliary Output", and you should then release the input "IP" button. The
monitor is now ready for you to select the desired video source to be output to the "Switched SDI
Out" connector.
Pressing the IP button scrolls through the four available options as follows:

AO: SFP 1 - This is the SMPTE IP video feed for prompt video (requires SMPTE license and
compatible SMPTE IP SFP device)
AO: SFP 2 - This is the SMPTE IP video feed for talent video and is the default (requires
SMPTE license and compatible 2 channel SMPTE IP SFP device)
AO: SDI P - This is the baseband SDI Prompt input
AO: SDI T - This is the baseband SDI Talent input

10.7 HDMI In
Prompter Connector type: 19 pin HDMI socket: Pin connections are standard HDMI. The input is
compatible with HDMI 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.4a.
10.8 CueLight (Optical) Sensor In
When the CueScript CueLight sensor is installed, it allows the on-board Cue lights to illuminate when
the sensor sees sufficient light. Typically, the sensor is affixed with a Velcro ring around the camera
tally light LED. There are two additional ways the Cue Lights may be triggered:
Ground the sensor input (through a relay or transistor switch).
Apply a voltage (5-24 VDC) to the +Logic Tally input (Tally Sensor In pin 2).
Sensor: Photocell device. 16K Ω to 33K Ω @ 10 lux. 1M Ω or more at 0 lux.
Light on the optical sensor or grounded input = CUE LIGHTS ON
No light on the optical sensor or open input = CUE LIGHTS OFF
Prompter Connector type: USB Mini socket
Mating (cable) connector: USB Mini plug
