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 SDI, HDMI, 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 widescreen monitor also features a wide viewing angle.

Proprietary Glass and Coating Formula

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 19-inch Teleprompter includes a rail that allows you to easily balance your entire teleprompter setup so that you don’t need a counter weight. The teleprompter can be offset along the sled

Versatile Teleprompter Monitor

The 19-inch widescreen monitor features SDI, HDMI, and VGA inputs. The native resolution is 1920 x 1080 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. The monitor also features a tally light.

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.

Widescreen Teleprompter Monitor

The 19-inch Widescreen Teleprompter Monitor features 3G-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.

Built-in Tally Light for On Air Status

The widescreen teleprompter 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 presenter know which camera is live. Yellow tally lights are typically used as a way to signal to the presenter, 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 presenter, 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.

Ultra-Secure Hood

The hood of the teleprompter is anchored to the frame with bolts and additionally secured with magnets for extra stability.

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.

55 Degree Angled Glass

Angling the glass at 55 degrees provides numberous benefits when teleprompting. It provides a wider field of view for the camera. You can also tilt the camera down without losing scripting real estate for the talent, which will give you more room to tilt your fluid head down and properly adjust the camera for headroom.

Using Beam Splitters for Teleprompters

Ikan’s teleprompter beam splitter glass allows a presenter to read from a teleprompter screen while maintaining direct eye contact with the camera or audience. The 3mm thick optical-grade glass features a front surface mirror coating with 65% transmission and 35% reflection, along with an anti-reflection (AR) coating on the rear to prevent ghosting. This design ensures clear, color-neutral images for the camera and easy-to-read text for the presenter.

HEAVY-DUTY TRIPOD

The heavy-duty tripod is made of aluminum and the legs are a twin tube design with two stages. It includes the E-Image Mono-Lock design which allows you to control the height of both stages with a single twist lock. The full system, once completely assembled, can be adjusted to a maximum height of 75.5” and a minimum height of 37”.

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.

HIGH-CAPACITY DOLLY

The EI-7004B comes with cable guards and allows for quick and smooth movement for tripods weighing up to 132 lb. It is equipped with individually braked 4″ wheels with cable guards and folds for easy transporting. It’s designed for use with all E-Image tripod legs that feature dual spiked feet. It supports up to 132 pounds and is ideal for moving tripods along a flat surface for quick re-positioning between shots and is designed to help you move heavy tripods from one camera position to the next.

This tripod dolly features 4″-diameter, non-marring rubber wheels with individual brakes, and a 39.4″ working base diameter. Once removed from your tripod legs, it folds for storage or transport.
