TURNKEY BROADCAST SOLUTION
Ikan’s Turnkey Broadcast Solutions include everything you need for your professional camera setup. This solution includes a 19″ teleprompter w/ talent monitor, pedestal, and dolly. All of our systems have been tested internally for payload compatibility.
The remaining payload capacity, after mounting the full 19″ teleprompter, can accommodate camera setups up to 25.5 lbs. This solution also includes a rolling hard case for the pedestal and a carrying bag for the dolly.
19-INCH TELEPROMPTER SYSTEM
Ikan’s professional teleprompter series is designed for a quick and easy setup to work efficiently in studio or broadcast applications. The teleprompter includes a 65/35 reflective glass that makes the reflection easier to see for the presenter. The lightweight aluminum teleprompter has multiple 1/4-20” and 3/8-16” threads for mounting to a tripod or pedestal. The monitor includes HDMI, Composite, and VGA video 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. The monitor also features a wide viewing angle.
EXTREME CLARITY
The glass is coated so that it reflects 65% of the light projected onto it while allowing the remaining 35% 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.
Height of Riser Plates:
Large – 135mm/5.31 inches
Short – 52.5mm/2.06 inches
DLSR – 160mm/6.29 inches
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.
EASY TO BALANCE
The PT4900-V2 includes a long rail which allows you to easily balance your entire teleprompter setup. A counterweight is not needed with the PT4900-V2 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.
Versatile Teleprompter Monitor
The 19-inch monitor features HDMI, Composite, and VGA inputs. The native resolution is 1280 x 1024 and the 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. The wide viewing angles make it easy to view, even when you are not directly in front of the system.
Widescreen Talent Monitor
The 19-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. 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 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 video 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.
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.
Aluminum Chassis
The custom aluminum housing is robust and will protect the monitor from the rigors of production. The monitor features bezel-mounted buttons making it easy to navigate menu functions or change your input source
Ultra-Secure Hood
The hood of the teleprompter is anchored to the frame with bolts and additionally secured with magnets for extra stability.
SLIDE RANGE
The 60mm tripod plate mounts the teleprompter system to the fluid head and provides an extra 5.7 inches of sliding range. By allowing horizontal adjustments of the camera position on the tripod plate, this feature enables precise counterbalancing. Videographers can fine-tune the distribution of weight to achieve equilibrium, ensuring that the counterbalance system effectively stabilizes the camera setup, especially when using heavy lenses or accessories.
PAN & TILT LOCKS
The fluid head features individual locks for both the pan and tilt. These locks allow videographers to fix the horizontal panning and vertical tilting axes, ensuring stability and eliminating unintended shifts in framing.
DRAG/COUNTERBALANCE
The fluid head features 15-steps of adjustable counterbalance system, and 8 steps of pan & tilt dampening. The Drag & Counterbalance combined are a crucial feature in video camera tripods, enhancing stability and facilitating smooth camera movements.
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. This standardized bowl size serves as a connection point between the tripod legs and the video head, providing a secure and versatile platform.
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. Additionally, the adjustable rubber foot mounts provide a quick and easy setup. This dolly also comes with height-adjustable cable guards and is perfect for both studio and on-location use where support for heavy setups is a requirement.
