Autocue By David Fox
A new self-contained, ultra- portable teleprompter has been launched by Autocue that is small enough to fit in a 1600 Peli Case. It is made possible by a new folding hood and a new Autocue app. There is also a battery-powered Master Series 12-inch prompter, a camera mount and bracket set.
“A teleprompter is often ruled out for outside broadcast shoots because the kit is too big and bulky to carry, and the cabling and power requirements are too complicated. iPad prompters offer much better portability but often don’t meet professional broadcasters’ requirements,” said Autocue’s hardware director Mark Shoesmith.
The script is fed to the
prompter using the new iAutocue app on an iPad. The app enables the user to take a
video output from the iPad and feed it directly to the teleprompter monitor. The speed of the script is
controlled from the iPad – from where the script can also be edited, so there’s no need for a dedicated laptop and controller.
“The rig and de-rig of the teleprompter is extremely easy, each taking less than five
minutes,” added Shoesmith. 11.F45
