What exactly does a computer-driven Teleprompter system involve, in terms of hardware and software?
1. A host computer. This should be a stand-alone computer that is dedicated to prompting. Forget all the “multitasking” nonsense—you should NOT expect this computer to do both prompting and, say, live switching duties. 2. Software for teleprompting. The software should have editing/WP capabilities, and should scroll the software smoothly on-screen, with on-the-fly control of the speed of the scroll. Speed control is essential! 3. A scan converter. If you are using composite video monitors in the prompter display device, a a scan converter is required to transform the computer’s output into NTSC or PAL composite video, a signal the monitors in the prompter display devices can accept and display. 4. Teleprompter display device, with mirror hood. Composite video prompter monitors will allow looping the composite video signal from one camera setup to the next, in multiple camera studios.
