This tight integration with WinDigi via the MOS protocol enables ENPS to control all the features of the WinDigi prompter automatically so improving the efficiency of the prompting function in a busy newsroom environment. Using the MOS Active X implementation WinDigi can remotely access any run-order, or start at any story in the run-order.
