Ikan International PT4500S-TMW-PEDESTAL 15" SDI Teleprompter w/ Tally, Pedestal, & Dolly Turnkey w/ Widescreen Talent Monitor

Ikan 15" SDI Teleprompter with Tally, Pedestal & Dolly Turnkey with Widescreen Talent Monitor PT4500S-TMW-PEDESTAL

The Ikan PT4500S-TMW-PEDESTAL turnkey broadcast solution combines a 15" teleprompter, a 15" widescreen talent monitor, a pneumatic pedestal with fluid head and a dolly for studios, live events and virtual productions. All systems are tested by Ikan for payload compatibility: with the full teleprompter system mounted (without counterweight) it accommodates camera setups up to 13 lb (5.9 kg), or 7.1 lb (3.2 kg) with the counterweight.

The lightweight aluminium teleprompter of Ikan's 4th generation series has several 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 mounting points and a 15" 4:3 1000 nit monitor with 3G-SDI, HDMI and VGA inputs; the American made 70/30 glass is readable from up to 17 ft (5.18 m). A rail allows the whole setup to be offset by up to 7" for balancing, and four camera riser plates plus a counterweight accept a wide range of cameras. The monitor has a built-in tally light that receives the tally signal over an Ethernet (RJ45) cable and lights up when the camera is live or recording. The 15" widescreen talent monitor (1920 x 1080, 1000 nits, 3G-SDI/HDMI/VGA) lets the talent check look and framing without looking away from the lens, and its red/green tally shows when the camera is live with a compatible switcher.

The pneumatic pedestal has an air-assist centre column for effortless height adjustments, aluminium legs and a spreader; on its own (without teleprompter and head) it supports up to 44 lb (20 kg), with a 12.6" (32 cm) on-shot stroke. The 100 mm fluid head has separate pan and tilt locks, 8-step counterbalance and two pan handles suitable for zoom, focus and iris controls, and the heavy-duty dolly (132 lb / 60 kg) has height-adjustable cable guards.
