The Ikan PT415-TK 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, Composite, and VGA video inputs. Its high bright screen ensures clear visibility in any lighting condition.
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.
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.
Versatile Teleprompter Monitor
The 15-inch monitor features SDI, 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.
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.
Widescreen Talent Monitor
The 15-inch Widescreen Talent Monitor is designed to conveniently attach below the teleprompter to enable on-screen talent see their presentations live. The 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.
Built-in Tally Light for On Air Status
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.
Dual Tally Lights
The talent monitor can be mounted as either a talent monitor or a script monitor. The monitor features a toggle switch that allows you to choose which of the two tally lights you would like to use depending on which setup you decide to choose.
Rolling Hard Case
The rolling hard case is designed to accommodate the full teleprompter system including the teleprompter base, risers, hoods, glass, monitors, and power supplies. The Injection Molded Mil-Standard Waterproof Case is crafted from ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin.
