19″ SDI Teleprompter, Pedestal & Dolly Turnkey w/ Widescreen Talent Monitor

19-INCH TELEPROMPTER SYSTEM

Ikan’s 4th generation professional teleprompter series is designed for a quick and easy setup to work efficiently in outside broadcast applications or professional studios.  The lightweight aluminum teleprompter has multiple 3/8-16″ and 1/4-20″ for mounting to a pedestal. The teleprompter monitor includes HDMI, VGA, and 3G-SDI Inputs.

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 Teleprompter includes a 19-inch widescreen 3G-SDI Talent Monitor. A new mounting system enables you to conveniently attach 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.

Built-in Tally Light for On Air Status

The M19W 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.

Image Flip Button

The M19W Monitor features an image flip button that allows for both horizontal and vertical flipping of the displayed image. This feature enables on-camera talent to view themselves as if they were looking into a mirror, giving a greater sense of comfort during filming.

LARGE RANGE OF CAMERA COMPATIBILITY

Our professional line teleprompters include three different camera mount bases to allow for a large range of different-sized cameras to work.  The base can conveniently slide to adjust the weight without the need to remove the plate.

Height of Riser Plates:

Short – 2.06 inches/52.5mm
Medium – 3.74 inches/95mm
Tall – 5.31 inches/135mm
Extra Tall – 6.29 inches/160mm

EASY TO BALANCE

The PT4900 includes a long rail which allows you to easily balance your entire teleprompter setup. A counterweight is not needed with the PT4900 since the weight can be shifted anywhere along the teleprompter base. Since a counterweight is not needed, you will not be adding additional weight to the tripod head.

SLIDE RANGE

The 60mm tripod plate mounts the teleprompter system to the fluid head and provides an extra 5.7 inches of sliding range to counterbalance your entire teleprompter and camera setup.

PAN & TILT LOCKS

The fluid head features individual locks for both the pan and tilt.

DRAG/COUNTERBALANCE

The fluid head features 15-steps of adjustable counterbalance system, and 8 steps of pan & tilt dampening.

DUAL PANHANDLES

The dual panhandles allow you to maintain firm control on your shots. These panhandles also work perfectly for mounting zoom, focus, and iris controls. The length range for each panhandle is 16.7″ to 24″

100MM BOWL

The fluid head includes a 100mm bowl mount with a twist lock to secure the teleprompter and camera payload.

PNEUMATIC PEDESTAL

This pneumatic pedestal includes an air pump to inject air into the center column and an air release allows you to fine-tune the balance. After the perfect balance has been achieved, adjusting the height of the center column will be effortless. The pedestal system, without the teleprompter, can support payloads weighing up to 61.7 pounds. The on-shot stroke of the center column is 15″.

CARBON FIBER LEGS

The pedestal features dual carbon fiber legs for each section. When mounted onto the heavy-duty dolly, these pedestal legs can provide support up to 66 lbs.

VERSATILE DOLLY SHOTS

The dolly base has track lock wheels to maintain direction during complex dollying and tracking shots. By locking the wheels in certain positions, radial arc shots can also be achieved.
