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.
