CueScript at IBC 2025
CueScript continues to evolve the prompting domain with innovations that reflect real broadcast and production pain points: setup complexity, operator interaction, hands-free control, integration. Their IBC 2025 announcements show they’re leaning into more adaptive and intelligent prompting systems.
What’s New
Voice-Operated Control (“SayIt”)
CueScript introduced SayiT, a voice-activated control system that responds to your spoken cues. If a presenter deviates from the script, it tracks their voice and stays in sync.
This means prompts can pause, resume, skip or adjust automatically based on what the speaker is saying — hands-free prompting becomes realistic.CueVue Rendering / Engine Upgrades
They’re pushing enhancements to CueVue, their rendering engine. It delivers crisp, high-quality video through HDMI to prompter monitors, operator preview, and studio multiviewers.Perfect Balance Plate (CSMPPB)
A more mechanical but impactful hardware upgrade: the Perfect Balance Plate is a mounting accessory that ensures prompter rigs remain stable and balanced across variable setups — reducing rigging time. It’s optimized for cameras like the Sony FR7.Cloud / Remote Prompting & Integration
They are also pushing their cloud-based prompting tools, enabling remote prompting, control, multi-site support, and IP integration.
What It Means
Hands-free prompting is closer to reality
With SayiT, presenters can deviate naturally without “breaking” the prompt flow. The system listens and follows — reducing operator burden, lowering the risk of disconnection, and giving a more seamless experience.Better prompt quality, more flexibility
CueVue enhancements mean the displayed text, scanning timing, and transitions are cleaner, more legible, and better suited to modern workflows (HDMI outputs, multi-viewers). That improves reliability in broadcast environments.Simpler field setups, faster deployment
The Perfect Balance Plate reduces mechanical tweaks during setup. For mobile crews or variable setups, that saves minutes (sometimes tens of minutes) per rig — small wins that add up.Remote & distributed prompting workflows
Because prompting is no longer bound to a physical prompter box in the same room, you can support remote talent, multiple studios, simultaneous feeds, and IP-linked prompting across sites.
