How To Assemble Ikan's Professional Teleprompters-Ikan Tech Tips
The ikan Professional 12" Portable Teleprompter with 12" Reversing Monitor is a small, portable, rod-mounted teleprompter system suitable for interior and exterior work. The 70/30 beamsplitter glass provides a clear image with easily readable text overlay that won't show up on the camera image. The prompter features a 13' reading range, and the 12" LCD monitor features 1024 x 768 resolution, with 350 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio.
The self-reversing monitor allows you to flip the image in hardware, which is useful when using a prompter software that doesn't support image flip. The 12" monitor has HDMI, VGA, and composite video inputs and supports video resolutions from 720 x 480i up to 1920 x 1080p. The magnetic fabric hood easily attaches to the steel and aluminum prompter frame and the prompter comes with a PrompterPro software for Mac or Windows.
The prompter supports the following video signals via the HDMI input:
- 1920 x 1080p: 60/59.94/50/30/29.94/25/24/29.97
- 1920 x 1080psf: 30/29.97/25/24
- 1920 x 1080i: 60/59.94/50
- 1280 x 720p: 60/59.94/50
- 720 x 576i/p: 50
- 730 x 480i/p: 50/59.94
The prompter features 15mm support rods and a sliding base that makes for rapid balancing on your tripod
The prompter features multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes for tripod mounting
The dual-sided riser is reversible, providing you with two camera-height positions that support cameras from DSLR and mirrorless cameras to camcorders
The included packing foam your prompter ships in can be removed from the cardboard shipping box and placed in an optional production case with interior dimensions of 19 x 14.25 x 8"
