Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. which software comes with? MAC COMPATIBLE?

A: Fortinge makes their own software. it is not available for Apple computers at this time. Windows Only.

Q: 2. that riser for the camera looks rather tiny. Can someone clear up how much weight that bar can support? I've JVC shoulder cameras that probably weigh 15 pounds with cables and battery hooked up.

A: We have a Sony a7s with a 24-105 lens on it. It seems pretty sturdy and I think it could hold more weight without a problem...that said, the riser is too low for most cameras. I met with the manufacturer and they acknowledged that it was a common problem. Our solution was to put a fluid head on top of the riser and then mount the camera on that. It's good at prompting but it never does feel too stable when the camera is on it. It don't get the impression that it will ever fall off, but it doesn't lock tight without a bit of wiggle.

Q: 3. How is the monitor powered and is the power source included?

A: The monitor has an AC to DC converter, much like a laptop. It is included.

Q: 4. WHICH SOFTWARE COMES WITH? DOES IT WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE?

A: Software is not included. It accepts HDMI, SDI, VGA, and composite video inputs and supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

Q: 5. Does it include any software?

A: No, the software is not included. Here is the correct software for the Prompter.

Q: 6. My existing set-up incorporates Google Docs as my script and don't want to use the provided software as it will disrupt my workflow. Does the VGA display just mirror the screen of a computer? I already found a Chrome Extension that will flip the screen horizontally. Thanks for your insight!

A: The VGA, HDMI, DVI and Composite inputs do not require any special software, they are simple inputs that can accept a variety of sources. Just as long as you have the extension to flip the screen, you will be able to use this teleprompter with Google Docs.

Q: 7. Two questions:1) Does it keep the text in the middle of the screen so the eyes stay focused in the center and can this be adjusted via the software. Basically we don't want darting eyes as they read the top corner when the camera is focused in the middle of the glass.2) Can text be enlarged or shrunk pending on conditions? Thank you

A: Thank you to all who answered this. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 8. I see that the hard case is no longer offered by the mfr. What size Pelican case would this fit in?

A: Assuming one wants to have the "wheeled" option and ample room to pluck out dedicated sections of the foam inserts to fit all pieces, then the Pelican 1600 series would be our most considerable advice.

Q: 9. How would one easily mount this on a desk? What sort of clamp arrangement would work well? Is there anything like the desk base Prompter People make?

A: You could possibly use this clamp and screw the teleprompter onto the clamp: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/824360-REG/impact_cc_106r_super_clamp_with_ratchet.html

Q: 10. is there anyone who can give the total dimensions of the prompter ? Has it a 4/3 or a 16/9 screen ?Does the horizontal bar to mount the camera on the back is easily removable ?Thank you

A: Teleprompters in general will be designed with a monitor that is closer to 4:3 than 16:9, including this item from MagiCue. This also features tool-less assembly and folds flat for transport and storage, because of that it should be easy to adjust the horizontal bar and mount cameras off and on it.

They have made this version easy to assemble. The overall package sets up within a few minutes and is still packed nicely on arrival. The new plate design has some limitations in terms of what hardware you can use, however, but nothing that would be a deal breaker.

I don't really have much to say but whenever I am working on my video projects, the teleprompter I always lay my hands on are not worth it which normally makes my work difficult and of poor quality, but of recents when I was working on my recent video projects, a friend of mine introduce me to this teleprompter and Initially, I was skeptical to make use of their service because of some bad experience I have had overtime with some companies online, but I was persuaded by my friend to give them a trial which I did, I give them a trial so I was expecting the worse like what am use to in the companies I have make use of before. I am very happy I purchased this because it's highly convenient and it's perfectly compatible with my Mini DV camera. The physique of the prompter matches its quality with a carbon fiber chassis that needs no further assembly. If you are on the lookout for a TelePrompTer that will make your life easier, this is the best choice! It's highly recommended

I am extremely happy with this teleprompter. It is just what I was looking for! I had no issue at all connecting it with my camera and the whole set up was an ease. I've got several components I use during my work, such as light stands, beamsplitters and tripods I had no issue pairing the teleprompter with any of these, which is really quite useful, as I only need one teleprompter for most of the things I use. Also, what I really liked was the fact that no riser is necessary for positioning, which allows me to keep the camera stable throughout the adjustments. The LCD monitor is compatible with all sorts of outputs, from HDMI to VGA, which means I never have issues reading from any device. I use the Mac version of the software, although Windows is supported, as well.

This TelePrompTer is all about making sure that you get sight of the right words at all times. What's more pairing is a piece of cake with all devices alike. The prompter has a quality display, which enables the speaker to have a clear view from a distance of up to 17 feet. Easy to transport and handy, this prompter is compatible with both PC and Mac. The physique of the prompter matches its quality with a carbon fiber chassis that needs no further assembly. If you are on the lookout for a TelePrompTer that will make your life easier, this is the best choice!

I have been a DP for 20 years and have tried many different teleprompters on the market. This prompter Ive found to be rugged, fits every camera I own, and best part it is made of metal. Too many plastic products break all the time when used. I bought this because I know it will take my travels around the country and also the drops of the baggage people in the airlines. The adjustable scissors mount allows me to use my F55, HPX 3000, FS5, or even my DSLR.

This is a simple, sturdy unit that has a really nice feature in that the prompter and camera mount are combined into a single unit making balancing very easy. The built-in height adjustment for the camera is terrifica as well, easily accomodating a smallish video camera as well as larger rigs with baseplates, rods, etc.. Fair warning, the entire unit is very bulky and you'll need a long case to carry it assembled, or something like a Pelican 1620 if you carry it broken down. Also, I didn't see a good way to protect the mirror other than inserting a piece of foam between the mirror and iPad tray during travel. Not a deal breaker, but moderately annoying. Function is excellent - talent likes it and it is far easier, safer and more professional than trying to jerry-rig something.

I am a video producer and camera operator. From the past few days, I was searching for a teleprompter that could help me to solve my day-to-day needs. Then, I found MagiCue Studio 15. This is the best teleprompter, I've ever used. This has not only made my life simpler, but it has also helped me to do my work faster. This is lightweight and can easily be carried with you. Apart from its excellent features, the thing which I liked most is that its software supports 9 different languages which enable me and my colleagues to use this product without any kind of linguistic barrier. I would definitely recommend this to other production members.

We bought these back in Feb of 2011 for our TV Studio Cameras. They are great!! Nice big text ... easy to read. The software installs on any PC and works great. Only suggestion I have is that they improve the reverse speed on the shuttle pro controller. Sometimes you need to back the text up quickly and it doesn't have a fast speed. Other than this it is a great package.
