ikan Professional 15" SDI PTZ Teleprompter with Widescreen Tally Monitor & Talent Monitor

The Professional 15" SDI PTZ Teleprompter with Widescreen Tally Monitor & Talent Monitor from ikan is designed for quick and easy setup in studio or broadcast applications to film professional scripted content with a PTZ camera. The durable aluminum teleprompter includes a 15" widescreen monitor, a 15" widescreen talent monitor, 65/35 beamsplitter glass, fully enclosed PTZ teleprompter hood, and an improved base for better balancing. Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads on the teleprompter makes mounting it to a tripod or pedestal a breeze. HDMI, SDI, and VGA video inputs are compatible with most video equipment.

65/35 Beamsplitter Glass

The included beamsplitter glass features a front mirror coating with 65% transmission and 35% reflection along with an anti-reflection coating on the rear to prevent ghosting. This ensures clear, color-neutral images for the camera and easy-to-read text for the presenter. The component is 0.12" thick and constructed of optical-grade glass.

Wide Camera Compatibility

Included with the teleprompter are three different camera mount bases in varying heights for compatibility with professional ENG cameras, cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders. The tall riser measures 5.31", the short riser measures 2.06", and the DSLR riser measures 6.29". This version also comes with a PTZ riser and fully enclosed PTZ teleprompter hood, which allows the camera to facilitate pan, tilt, and zoom motions without constraints.

Versatile Monitor

The monitor features HDMI, SDI, and VGA video inputs. Its native resolution is 1920 x 1080 and its maximum brightness is 1000 cd/m². Use the OSD adjustment to view and change settings like brightness, contrast, backlight, tint, chroma, and sharpness. You can also adjust the intensity of the RGB. The native aspect ratio for the monitor is 16:9, but you can adjust it to be 4:3, full, or to automatically detect the ratio and set it accordingly. A 178° wide viewing angle ensures your talent can view the text from virtually anywhere. An image flip button allows you to horizontally or vertically flip the image. When plugged into a video switcher, two tally lights on the side and front of the monitor turn either green or red to indicate whether or not the camera is live.

Widescreen Talent Monitor

The 15" widescreen talent monitor secures below the main teleprompter via 15mm mounting system to allow talent to see their presentations while live on camera. It features 3G-SDI, HDMI, and VGA input ports, a native 1920 x 1080 resolution, and a maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m². Adjust contrast, brightness, backlight, tint, chroma, sharpness, and each RGB color channel via OSD menu. The aspect ratio can be set as 16:9, 4:3, full, or can automatically detect an aspect ratio and adapt accordingly. When connected to a compatible video switcher, the monitor's onboard dual tally lights lets you know when the camera is live.

Easy to Balance

The upgraded teleprompter base includes a rail to slide the entire rig forwards or backwards. This makes balancing more intuitive and does not require counterweights.

Updated Lens Hood

The new version of the adjustable lens hood is anchored to the frame and secured with magnets for extra stability. It is also designed to accommodate PTZ camera movements thanks to its wider opening. The back opening gives you quick access to the camera's ports and can be closed with a drawstring to eliminate light leaks. Compatible PTZ brands include Panasonic, JVC, Sony, Canon, BZB Gear, BirdDog, and PTZOptics.
