If the LCD was mounted just above or just blow the lens would it make that much of a difference? It saves a fuckton of hassle.It's away from where the camera is pointing, which makes the talent look disinterested, disengaged from the audience, and worst of all, not at the camera.
PROMPTDOG SCROLL SPEED HOW TO
The problem is that if I mirror the text for the talent, then I have to read the text backwards to control the speed of the scrolling to allow them to read with good flow.I am absolutely sure that I've seen teleprompters which allow for that(Ie, It's mirrored on the display, and forwards on the screen, without reversing the display, and are halfway designed to work in exactly that fashion - I've run it off a hacked together mobile setup for LSTV once, when they needed a quick solution for a mobile shoot, and I guarantee you the prompter display was a regular LCD, because I "requisitioned" the parts from the LU tech department myself.(Side note - I'll ask for what program they used for the prompting, as I just started it up and threw random gibberish on the screen to make sure it displayed properly, without paying attention to what it was or how to work it in any detail - actually working the prompter for the talent was not my job.) What Program are you using? What sort of show are you doing? I'm quite familiar with how a teleprompter works. Why? Because they were offering what was to me, at the time, an absolutely ludicrous sum of money to do it), and I do a fair bit of work with my partner-in-really-good-crimes Max, a Broadcast journalist. It was a Blue Peter style show, if you fancy to know. They picked the other guy, because at the time, I couldn't afford to move to Sydney, and they didn't want to pay for it. That's exactly how it works, if you've ever seen behind the scenes video of a news room you'll see a large hood with monitor mounted at the front of the camera.I've spent quite a bit of time in various news rooms, nearly became a tv presenter(As in, got to the final stage of auditions, as one of the final two. 5 seconds of googleing.You mean, the one I linked 4 hours ago?

And that's why I wanted a solution that would require a $500 box that I only plan on using for a couple of months before I have saved enough to get professional prompter monitors.

And in a non studio situation it's the same setup, just with more portable equipment. That monitor is the external monitor, and the teleprompt operator will be running the text from another computer with its own monitor. That's exactly how it works, if you've ever seen behind the scenes video of a news room you'll see a large hood with monitor mounted at the front of the camera. I'm sure there is a reason I'm wrong, but it seems like a decent idea.

The teleprompt software I use can mirror the text for me, but it does it on both the laptop screen and the external monitor.Wait, can't you just set it up as a dual monitor, and then run the teleprompt maximized on one screen, and whatever else on the laptop screen? All you'd need then are some long cables.
That is actually probably what I'm going to do between now and when I can purchase real prompter monitors or the VGA mirror device. Thanks, good solution for personal use but not for professional: doesn't allow for jog/shuttle scroll controlling, meaning no instant response to read speed changes no way to set markers to go back to for multiple takes of a section of a script and doesn't work when you're on a golf course out in the middle of the desert that has terrible cell and data service.
