What Autoscript does

Autoscript, founded in 1984, designs and manufactures professional teleprompting hardware and software for the global broadcast industry. The company's product portfolio centers on the WinPlus-IP software platform — the broadcast industry's first fully IP-enabled, end-to-end prompting workflow — paired with on-camera prompt monitors (EPIC-IP and EVO-IP families in 15", 19", and 19XL configurations), IP-connected scroll engines, the WC-IP wireless talent controller, the iEVO iPad teleprompting application, the CLOCKPLUS-IP time/tally display, and the patent-pending Autoscript Voice speech recognition prompting module. The platform integrates with leading newsroom computer systems (AP ENPS, Avid i-News, Ross Inception) and broadcast control systems (Sony ELC), and supports closed-captioning export to Adobe Premiere Pro.

Autoscript generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales (prompt monitors and controllers), software licensing for WinPlus-IP and its variants (including Voice and NDI features), usage-based rental services with technician and operator options via hire.autoscript.tv, and recurring support agreements and spare parts. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a global dealer and distributor network active in 100+ countries, complemented by regional channel partners and event-driven demand creation at NAB, IBC, and BVE. The company is a wholly-owned brand of Videndum Production Solutions Limited, the broadcast division of London-listed Videndum plc (LSE: VID), operating alongside sibling brands Vinten, Litepanels, Teradek, and Anton/Bauer. Customers include national public broadcasters (ZDF, SWR, rbb), regional broadcasters (Aragón TV, bTV, TV MIDTVEST), commercial networks (Sky News Australia, BT Sport), and educational institutions (University of Surrey).
