Professional 19″ SDI High-Bright PTZ-Compatible Teleprompter w/ OTTICA PTZ Camera & Widescreen Tally Talent Monitor

PTZ Teleprompting

The Ikan PTZ Teleprompter system is a unique PTZ teleprompting system that enables the PTZ camera’s pan, tilt and zoom capabilities while still behind the reflective teleprompter glass. You can easily pan the camera between multiple people reading from the same script.

Fully Enclosed PTZ Hood

The PTZ teleprompter features a lightweight hood that fully encloses the PTZ camera, which allows it’s movement to remain unconstrained. The hood includes an opening in the back that gives you quick access to the PTZ cameras inputs and outputs. The opening can be closed with a drawstring which removes the possibility of any light leaks.

Extreme Clarity

The high quality 70/30 Made-in-America teleprompter glass provides the perfect balance of reflection and pass-through without distorting the image.  With 1000 nits the prompting image will always be crisp and visible whether you’re under the sun or studio lighting.

Widescreen Talent Monitor

The PT4900S-PTZ-TM-OTTICA Talent Monitor includes a 19-inch widescreen 3G-SDI Talent Monitor. A new mounting system enables conveniently attaching the monitor right below the teleprompter to let on-camera talent see their presentations live. The monitor features 3D-SDI, HDMI, and VGA, inputs. The native resolution is 1920 x 1080 HD and max brightness is 1000 nits. The OSD adjustment menu allows adjustment for contrast, brightness, backlight, tint, chroma, sharpness. You can also adjust the intensity of each RGB color channel. Aspect ratio can be set as 16:9, 4:3, full, or it can be set to automatically detect the aspect ratio and set it accordingly. When plugged into a compatible video switcher, the talent monitor utilizes a red/green tally light that lets you know when your camera is live.

Easy-to-balance

The PT4900S-PTZ-TM-OTTICA includes a long rail which allows you to easily balance your entire teleprompter setup. The teleprompter base can be easily moved forwards and backwards until the perfect balance is set.

Large Range of Camera Compatibility

Our PTZ Teleprompter includes a large canvas hood, making it compatible with the vast majority of PTZ cameras.

Camera Performance

Advanced ISP processing algorithms provide vivid images with a strong sense of depth, high resolution, and fantastic color rendition. The OTTICA supports H.265/H.264 encoding which makes motion video fluent and clear even with less than ideal bandwidth conditions. A full-bandwidth NDI 1080p x60 fps video data stream uses approximately 100Mbps, whereas a video data stream using NDI|HX will only require around 10Mbps (approximately 1/10th of full-bandwidth NDI). Using NDI|HX will expand the camera’s compatibility with different types of network options.

Superb High-definition Image

The OTTICA employs 1/2.8 inch high-quality CMOS sensor and supports resolutions up to 1920×1080 with frame rates up to 60 fps. Supported outputs include HDMI,3G-SDI, wired LAN (NDI|HX), and wireless LAN interfaces. The 3G-SDI will work up to 100 meters in distance with transmission at 1080p60 format.

Variable Optical Zoom Lens

The camera includes a 5.5-110mm f/1.6-3.5 varifocal lens with a viewing angle ranging from 3.3° to 54.7° and offers 20x optical zoom.

Quiet PTZ

By adopting a high accuracy step-driving motor mechanism, the OTTICA™ performs smoothly and quietly even when moving quickly to any position.

Low-Power Sleep Function

The OTTICA™ supports a low-power sleep/wake up function. The consumption is lower than 500mW while in sleep mode.

RS-232 Cascade Function

The OTTICA™ supports RS-232 cascade function which is convenient for installing. One cable is included in the box.

255 Presets Positions

You can program up to 255 preset camera positions (10 presets by IR remote).

Control Camera Over IP Through Web Client

After using “Advanced IP Scanner” to find the OTTICA’s IP address, input the camera IP address in the URL bar of your browser and click the “Enter” button to proceed to the Web Client login page. This web client will allow you to control various parameters including pan, tilt, zoom, exposure, shutter speed, focus, color temperature, sound, preset positions, compression format, resolution, bitrate, framerate, noise reduction, character displays, and many more.

Supports Multiple Control Protocols

VISCA, IP VISCA, PELCO-D, PELCO-P, ONVIF protocols are supported and can also be automatically recognized right out of the box. The OTTICA can be directly controlled from either within software like OBS, using NDI|HX, or from the Web Client using the camera IP address in a browser tab.
