The Ikan PT421W-TM 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 for the presenter to see. 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-brightness screen ensures clear visibility in any lighting condition. An intuitive image-flip button allows 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.
Versatile Teleprompter Monitor
The 21" 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, and sharpness. You can also adjust the intensity of each RGB color channel. Aspect ratio can be set to 16:9, 4:3, full, or automatically detected and set 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-brightness screen delivers clear, 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 the 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.
Widescreen Talent Monitor
The 21" Widescreen Talent Monitor is designed to attach below the teleprompter, enabling on-screen talent to see their presentations live. The monitor features 3G-SDI, HDMI, and VGA inputs. The native resolution is 1920 x 1080 HD, and the max brightness is 1000 nits. The OSD adjustment menu allows adjustment for contrast, brightness, backlight, tint, chroma, and sharpness. You can also adjust the intensity of each RGB color channel. Aspect ratio can be set to 16:9, 4:3, full, or automatically detected and set accordingly. When plugged into a compatible video switcher, the talent monitor uses a red/green tally light to indicate when your camera is live. The talent monitor includes a 15mm mounting system that connects it to the teleprompter.
