Datavideo TP-700 Large Screen Prompter Kit

The TP-700 is a universal large screen prompter kit with eng and freestanding configurations. Datavideo’s teleprompters are designed to be simple and straight forward to operate by the talent or remote operator. They use a high-quality mirror glass with a low iron content, meaning that the mirror has no tint. The TP-700 teleprompter can be used with ENG style cameras, where the camera is mounted directly to the teleprompter rig, or with any camera in its freestanding configuration. It supports up to 19” talent monitors with VESA 75mm and 100mm mounts, ideal for use with TLM-170 series monitors. The TP-700 features a bright 15” 4:3 LCD screen with the powerful dvPrompter Plus application built in, there is no need to run software on a laptop. The TP-700 can also be controlled using the optional WR-500 handheld remote, FS-30 Foot Pedal or any generic presentation remote with a USB receiver.

Users can control and monitor the prompter over a local network using any device with a modern web browser, load, reload and control scripts over a local network. It also possible to connect multiple TP-700s together using the HDMI input and output or use IP synchronisation over Ethernet. The HDMI input also allows the 15” LCD screen to be used as a HDMI monitor with third party software if required. The HDMI output can also be used to drive external displays.

When using two TP-700 together in a P2P (Peer to Peer) interview configuration, the interviewer and the interviewee are able to look directly into the camera lens while still seeing and looking directly at an image of each other. This equates to a natural one-on-one interview style which is also (because of the direct eye contact) much more involving for the audience. When the interviewer asks a question, he or she is looking right into the eyes of the viewer. When the interviewee answers the question, he or she is also looking directly into the eyes of the audience and in essence giving his or her answers to them.

There is also a powerful rich text editor: You can remotely change the font size, type, color and justification on a per script basis and even use multiple different fonts within a single script. The editor also has support for embedding images and creating playlists from multiple scripts. In addition to text-based scripts you can now import your Powerpoint or Keynote presentation slides via the web interface, slides can be controlled using the hardware WR-500 control or the web based remote control interface. dvPrompter Plus supports seamlessly switching between text-based scripts and slides, you can even add slides and text-based scripts to a playlist. dvPrompter Plus supports mirroring slides in real time.
