Professional 15 in. High Bright Beam Splitter Teleprompter w/ Widescreen SDI Tally Monitor
PT4500W
Ikan’s professional teleprompter series is designed for a quick and easy setup to work efficiently in broadcast applications or professional studios. The teleprompter includes a 70/30 reflective glass that makes the reflection easier to see for the presenter. The lightweight aluminum widescreen teleprompter has multiple 3/8-16″ and 1/4-20″ for mounting to a tripod or pedestal. The monitor includes 3G-SDI, HDMI, and VGA inputs. Its high bright screen ensures clear visibility in any lighting condition. An intuitive image flip button allows for easy adjustment of the display orientation. This monitor also features a wide viewing angle, as well as integrated tally lights to let you know when your camera is live.
Extreme Clarity
The glass is coated so that it reflects 70% of the light projected onto it while allowing the remaining 30% to pass through. This unique characteristic enables the presenter to read the reflected script text clearly, projected from a monitor below or behind the glass, while simultaneously allowing the camera positioned directly behind the glass to record through it without capturing the reflected text.
Large Range of Camera Compatibility
Our professional line of teleprompters not only include three different camera mount bases but also counterweights to allow for a large range of different-sized cameras to work. The counterweights can be split so that the teleprompter can support a 5 lbs. counterweight or a 2.5 lbs. counterweight. The base can conveniently slide to adjust the weight without the need to remove the plate.
Height of Riser Plates:
Large – 135mm/5.31 inches
Medium – 95mm/3.74 inches
DLSR – 160mm/6.29 inches
Widescreen Teleprompter Monitor
The 15-inch Widescreen 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 monitor utilizes a red/green tally light that lets you know when your camera is live.
Image Flip Button
The M15W Monitor features an image flip button that allows for both horizontal and vertical flipping of the displayed image. This feature is ideal for presenters who are videos conferencing since it enables the presenter to view themselves as if they were looking into a mirror, giving a greater sense of comfort during the video conference or live stream.
Built-in Tally Lights for On Air Status
The monitor features a tally light that illuminates red, green, and yellow. This means that a director can cut between cameras and the tally color will let the on-camera talent know which camera is live. Yellow tally lights are typically used as a way to signal to the talent, crew, and director that a camera is about to go live, and to be ready for the shot. A green tally light is typically used to indicate that a camera is in preview mode. This means that the camera’s output is being sent to a monitor, but it is not currently on air. This allows the talent, director, and production crew to check the composition, focus, and other aspects of the shot before it goes live. A red tally light is used to indicate when a camera is live or on-air.
Dual Tally Lights
The M15W monitor features a toggle switch that allows you to choose which of the two tally lights you would like to use. If you are using the M15W as a script monitor you would want to use the tally light on the top of the monitor. If you are using an additional (optional) M15W as a talent monitor, you would want to use the front-facing tally light.
Quick Set Up
The monitor can be quickly attached to the front of our PT4500 teleprompters via the 15mm rod holder. Also compatible with any system that uses standard 15mm rods.
High Bright Screen
The 1000 nit high bright screen is able to deliver clear and vivid text visibility in various lighting conditions. In environments with intense lighting, such as outdoor settings or brightly lit studios. This feature is particularly vital for outdoor teleprompting, where sunlight can wash out the display of a standard monitor.
Easy to Balance
The 15-inch Teleprompter includes a rail that allows you to easily balance your entire teleprompter setup. You can offset the entire teleprompter setup up to 7 inches.
Aluminum Chassis
The custom housing is made of aluminum which provides is with robustness and longevity, protecting the monitor from the wear and tear of regular use. The monitor features bezel-mounted buttons that let you control the menu settings and video inputs.
1080P Native Resolution
The native resolution for the teleprompter monitor is 1920 x 1080. 1080p. The widespread adoption as a standard resolution means that it is universally compatible with a vast array of computers and devices. This universality ensures that setting up a teleprompter with a 1080p monitor is straightforward, as most devices can output at this resolution natively, without the need for additional configuration or scaling.
Wide Viewing angle
The teleprompter monitor features a wide 178° viewing angle. A wide viewing angle ensures that the text on the screen remains visible and legible from various positions and angles. Especially where the speaker or presenter might not be directly in front of the monitor at all times. A 178° viewing angle allows for consistent readability of the text regardless of these positional shifts.
Ideal for Video Conferencing
A wide viewing angle is also ideal for video conferencing scenarios when using a teleprompter. In such settings, the presenter, or speaker, often needs to maintain eye contact with the camera while simultaneously viewing another speaker or presentation data on the monitor. A 178° viewing angle ensures that the image presented on the monitor remains visible especially when there are multiple speakers, and are not positioned directly in front of the monitor.
Ships in Reusable Foam
The professional teleprompter is shipped in reusable custom cut foam which will help keep the kit safe and organized when you set it up or break it down. The custom cut foam can also be re-purposed to perfectly fit in the SKB iSeries 3i-2217-12BE Waterproof Hard Case
