Autoscript is showing the Magno Footcontrol a frictionless magnetic technology to overcome one of the main handicaps of existing control devices which use a compression spring mechanism. Brian Larter, Autoscript Worldwide Managing Director said, “Even using high-quality tension springs and tempering the repeated pushing and twisting action used to work all current foot controllers will inevitably lead to a weakness over time. With a design based purely on magnets there is no spring to break. In fact the Magno Footcontrol is 100 percent service free.”

The Magno control connects directly with the WinPlus prompter software and features in-built intelligence to allow production staff or multiple presenters to allocate any controller for use at any time and with fail safe accuracy. Users can see and add hardware in house to quickly adapt to changing needs. The controller will be available in both wired and wireless configurations.

The new controller is being demonstrated in stand 9.C40e. Stop by for a demonstration of these products and to inquire about more.
