19" High Bright Teleprompter w/ 19" Widescreen Talent Monitor Kit (3G-SDI)
OVERVIEW
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 or tripod. Both the
teleprompter monitor and talent monitor include HDMI, VGA, and 3G-SDI Inputs. 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. 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. The
widescreen talent 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.
