The Ikan PT419W-NDI NDI Teleprompter features Full NDI (Network Device Interface) encoding/decoding, as well as traditional 3G-SDI, HDMI, Composite, and VGA inputs. NDI is a video-over-IP protocol that allows for high-quality, low-latency video transmission over standard Ethernet networks. Our NDI teleprompter can be connected to a network using standard Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for dedicated video cables or specialized hardware. In addition, the teleprompter utilizes PoE++ technology that allows both power and NDI data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable. By using a single cable for power, tally lights, and data transmission, you can reduce the overall cost of materials, as well as the cost of installation and maintenance.
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.
Beam Splitters
Ikan's teleprompter beam splitter glass allows talent 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 talent.
Versatile Teleprompter Monitor
The 19" prompter monitor features SDI, HDMI, Composite, and VGA inputs and the native resolution is 1920x1080. The OSD adjustment menu allows adjustment for contrast, brightness, 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.
Graphical User Interface
The NDI teleprompter monitor includes a built-in web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for remote management of your NDI streams. This intuitive interface allows you to assign presets, enable or configure encoding and decoding options, select and display specific NDI streams, adjust IP settings, and perform firmware updates.
Integrated IP and Contact Closure Tally Light
The monitor features a tally light that illuminates red and green. This tally light can be controlled one of three ways; As an IP tally light that works directly with Vmix, Contact closure for switchers the a GPI output, or NDI. This means that a director can cut between cameras and the tally color will let the on-camera talent know which camera is live. 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.
