Ditch the Printed Script with
Datavideo Teleprompters
D

atavideo is well known for
their budget friendly line of
teleprompters in various different
shapes and sizes. For each camera
type they manufacture a teleprompter.
The central part of the teleprompter
is an app running on a tablet called
dvPrompter Plus. All teleprompters
from Datavideo can be controlled using
an optional wireless remote controller
and can be stored in optional hard
cases.
Datavideo's
TP300 is the most
sold teleprompter.
This will fit any
regular camcorder
or slightly larger
block camera. The
ingeniously constructed
prompter is easy to assemble and to
install. With various riser plates you
will make sure that the lens is directly
in the center of the two-way mirror.
This mirror reflects the script that
is running (mirrored) on the tablet.

The HighBrite monitor has SDI,
HDMI, NTSC/PAL composite and VGA
inputs as well as AV and SDI loopout connections. " We endeavour to
address every customer's prompting
needs, " says Telescript's Chris
O'Brien. " For example, pan/tilt/zoom
cameras are becoming more prevalent
given the limited number of people
currently being allowed on set. Our
PTZ prompting hardware comprises
a large 16:9 display along with a
matching 16:9 folding hood that allows
the PTZ camera to pan and tilt through
its normal range behind the prompter
glass. "

This way you can easily read the script
and the cues that the director put in.
Datavideo also manufactures the TP500, a smaller version that is meant to
be used on DSLR cameras or slightly
smaller camcorders. The TP-500 is
compact and lightweight and can be
combined with a standard rig so you
can be mobile while recording. TP-650
is the biggest prompter which can
house an ENG type camera. This
prompter also features a bigger
mirror and tablet holder so
you can fit an iPad
Pro 12 " for instance.
dvPrompter Plus
is a brand new
teleprompter app
that runs on
either iPad or
Android tablets.
This app is a
breeze to use with
a brand-new home
The TP-300

Android version.
dvPrompter Plus can be controlled
with an external Bluetooth remote as
well, WR-500. This small controller can
be completely customized by the end
user and can be used to control speed,
skip cue markers, skip to other scripts
and many more.
Each teleprompter can be housed in
an optional hard case. These cases are
a precise fit in which you can drop in
the foam internals of the gift box. This
way the teleprompter is completely
protected for when you are on the
road.

screen which shows your scripts
organized and clearly labeled. The
base app is still free, delivering you
easy script prompting with a rich text
editor. The extra options are available
as a one-time $9,99 in-app-purchase
and give you access to remote access
options such as real time control
and editing from a web browser. The
built-in rich text editor is completely
renewed and gives you the possibility
of changing the color or the font of
the text, or embed pictures in your
script. This makes the app perfect for
when you are presenting with
multiple talents or when you
want to implement visual cues for
gestures.
Using the premium version of
the app you can also mirror the
running script to multiple
tablets or browsers at
the same time. This
app requires a recent
tablet running iOS 11
