I was wondering whether script scrolling software over networked computers was a thing??
I was thinking something along the lines of having a bunch of networked computers at various position (DSM, Sound, LX etc) and the DSM would scroll through the script which would automatically scroll on the other computers.
An extra feature which would be very useful, is if the DSM was able to mark up the cues of various departments and then they were in groups so only that department would see them on the scripts as they scroll.
As an upcoming sound engineer at university, I often lose my place in a script, or sometimes actors would jump around and I don't know where they've gone; so this software would ensure the entire technical team was on the same page, literally!
This sort of thing must exist but I just can't find it anywhere!
If I knew what I was doing, I would make it because it really shouldn't be particularly complicated.
