Designed for professional studio and broadcast environments, the ikan Professional 15" SDI/HDMI Teleprompter streamlines the process of creating scripted video content. Crafted from durable aluminum, this teleprompter is equipped with a 15" monitor, robust 65/35 beamsplitter glass, an adjustable lens hood, and a refined base that enhances balance and stability. Its versatile mounting options—with multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads—make attachment to a tripod or pedestal fast and straightforward. The teleprompter’s broad compatibility with HDMI, SDI, VGA, and Composite video inputs ensures seamless integration with a variety of video equipment.
65/35 Beamsplitter Glass
This teleprompter uses quality beamsplitter glass featuring a front mirror coating that allows 65% transmission and 35% reflection, combined with an anti-reflection coating on the rear to eliminate ghosting. As a result, presenters enjoy clear, easy-to-read text while the camera captures color-neutral images. The optical-grade glass is 0.12" thick, ensuring durability with premium clarity.
Wide Camera Compatibility
To maximize compatibility across camera types, the package includes three mount bases of varying heights: a 5.31" tall riser, a 2.06" short riser, and a 6.29" DSLR riser. This thoughtful inclusion supports a range of devices, including professional ENG cameras, cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders.
Versatile Monitor
The teleprompter’s monitor is equipped with HDMI, SDI, VGA, and Composite inputs. Boasting a native 1280 x 1024 resolution and a bright 1000 cd/m² display, it offers extensive on-screen display (OSD) adjustments for settings like brightness, contrast, backlight, tint, chroma, and sharpness, along with the ability to fine-tune RGB levels. Users can toggle between native 4:3, 16:9, full-screen, or auto aspect ratio modes to suit different production requirements. The wide 170° viewing angle ensures the presenter can read the script from nearly any position, while the image flip button allows for horizontal and vertical flipping. Integrated tally lights on the side and front cue the on-air status with green or red illumination when connected to a video switcher.
Easy to Balance
The improved teleprompter base features a sliding rail system, allowing the entire assembly to move forward or backwards for superior balance without the need for additional counterweights.
Updated Lens Hood
The revised adjustable lens hood is now anchored directly to the frame and secured with magnets, providing solid stability. Its wider opening accommodates larger lenses, offering even greater flexibility for various camera setups.
