Ikan's PT419W 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.
Large Range of Camera Compatibility
Ikan's professional line of teleprompters include three different camera mount bases, making it compatible with a wide variety of cameras such as professional ENG cameras, cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Compatible with Bigger Lenses
The teleprompter hood for the PT419 features a much wider opening allowing some of the biggest lenses available to be used.
