Professional PTZ Teleprompter System Built for Broadcast and Studio Use
The Ikan PT419W-PTZ is a widescreen teleprompter system specifically engineered for PTZ camera applications in studios, broadcast control rooms, and corporate video production. With a 19" widescreen high-bright monitor, fully enclosed PTZ hood, and optical-grade 65/35 beam splitter glass, this system enables your PTZ camera to pan, tilt, and zoom freely without losing script visibility. Compatible with most professional PTZ camera brands, this system supports clean visuals and efficient prompting for presenters and speakers.
Fully Enclosed PTZ Hood Maintains Camera Flexibility
The included hood is purpose-built to enclose PTZ cameras completely, allowing them to move naturally within the prompter system without obstruction. The rear of the hood includes an access opening to easily connect power and signal cables, and a drawstring closure prevents ambient light from leaking in. This hood is compatible with a wide variety of PTZ cameras, including models from BirdDog, Sony, Canon, Panasonic, JVC, and more, ensuring a reliable fit for professional setups.
Widescreen Monitor Offers Crisp Readability in Any Environment
At the center of the system is a 19" 1080p widescreen display that delivers sharp script text with a brightness rating of 1000 cd/m², ensuring visibility even in brightly lit studio environments. The monitor includes SDI, HDMI, and VGA input options, making it compatible with a broad range of video switchers and production workflows. With a 178° wide viewing angle, talent can read the prompt from nearly any position without strain or distortion.
65/35 Beam Splitter Glass Provides Clear Script and Lens Transparency
The optical-grade glass used in the PT419W-PTZ has a 65% transmission and 35% reflection rating, allowing the presenter to see clear mirrored text while the camera captures a distortion-free image. The glass includes a front mirror coating and a rear anti-reflective coating to reduce ghosting, preserve color accuracy, and ensure the camera captures sharp, unaffected footage.
Flexible Mounting and Image Flip Controls for Easy Setup
This system includes 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads on the chassis for flexible mounting to tripods or pedestals. The monitor features a built-in image flip button that allows vertical and horizontal rotation of the image, supporting mirrored and inverted camera configurations without needing additional converters. The lightweight aluminum build keeps the system portable yet durable for demanding studio workflows.
Supports Long-Distance Viewing and Teleprompting Control
With a screen that’s readable from up to 25 feet away, this teleprompter is suitable for larger studio spaces or setups that require distance between the camera and presenter. When paired with compatible teleprompter software like PrompterPro, presenters can scroll scripts smoothly and manage content efficiently from a central production station.
Transport-Ready with Reusable Foam and Accessory Compatibility
The PT419W-PTZ ships with reusable custom-cut foam, making it easy to store and transport in compatible hard cases such as the ikan PT-CASE-4U. Whether you need to keep your setup mobile or secured for long-term studio use, the foam ensures every component stays protected and ready for quick deployment.
