The 17" Studio HB Prompter 1000 cd/m² and PDII-CHX(F)SC Pedestal System includes the Acebil PRO-S 17" Studio Telemprompter, an Acebil CHX(F) Fluid Head with 150mm ball, and an Acebil PD3800/150SC Pedestal System that includes an Acebil D9 rolling tripod dolly. This set provides you a stable teleprompter system that can be read by a talent up to 20' away and that can also easily roll to a new position when needed or be rolled off the studio floor at the end of the day.
The teleprompter features a 70/30 beamsplitter glass for good contrast and ease of reading by the talent. It also includes a Talent monitor as well as a PROCLOCK and supports tally. The 150mm ball head tripod is secure and able to support the weight of the prompter system. The pedestal system is easily able to support the weight of the fluid head, prompter, and your camera, while the dual pan handles provide control and allow you to adjust the position of the head with either hand or use both hands to hold the system steady, and at the same time, be ready to make a sudden camera move to follow your talent. The prompter system includes a Forprompt software for Windows and is compatible with most other prompting software solutions.
Featuring a 70/30 beamsplitter glass, a rod-based support rig, high-contrast LCD monitor, professional controller, time code clock display, and a talent monitor, the Acebil 17" Studio Prompter System with Time Code Clock, Talent Monitor, and Controller is a ready-to-go studio teleprompting solution suitable for high-end studio applications that includes supporting tally-light functions. The teleprompter itself comes partially assembled, so only minimal setup time is required. Since a sliding quick release baseplate and height-adjustable riser are part of the rod-based rig design, you can use the prompter with nearly any camera you want.
The included talent monitor and PROCLOCK display mount underneath the prompter at the front of the rods. This allows the talent to keep track of the running time of their segment, so they can pace their reading and actions, and not go over time. The second monitor allows the talent to see themselves on camera and interact with video effects, which may include logo or icon supers as well as green screen effects. Also included with this studio teleprompter is a handheld controller, which the teleprompter operator can use to navigate and control the teleprompter.
The 17" 250cd/m² monitor allows your talent to read prompter text from up to 20' away. To show text on the prompter, connect it via the VGA or HDMI terminals to your computer, and use the included Forprompt software to create your text and prompting session. The prompter is compatible with other third-party prompting software, which you can use if you prefer. The monitor is self-reversing, which allows you to use software that doesn't flip text or images, leaving the monitor to handle that so text and images are oriented properly for the on-camera talent.
