Profesional 19” High-Bright PTZ-Compatible Teleprompter
OVERVIEW
The 19” PTZ Teleprompter from Ikan is a professional solution for
teleprompting with PTZ cameras. The package provides an extra-wide hood
assembly to allow considerable movement of the camera within the wide beam
splitter glass. The PTZ Teleprompter features a 19” 1000 cd/ mz? monitor,
70/30 20”-wide beamsplitter glass, and a 25’ reading range. The teleprompter
is designed for use with a wide range of PTZ cameras, a s the wide
beamsplitter provides for a wide amount of left-right panning. The
teleprompter includes a base system that can be easily shifted forward and
backwards, which enables mounting the camera to the prompter without requiring
counterweights.
Please note that the PTZ4900-PTZ includes parts to build two types of
teleprompter systems, a standard 19” Teleprompter that is compatible with
various types of mirrorless and broadcast cameras, and a 19” PTZ teleprompter
that is compatible with a wide range of PTZ cameras. This Quick Start Guide
will show you how to set up the 19” Teleprompter for PTZ cameras. For
instructions on how to set up the PT4900 for broadcast o r mirrorless cameras,
please refer to the PT4900 Quick Start Guide on our website.
What’s Included
Teleprompter Assmebly Setup
Step 1
Place the Hood Attachment Frame over the Glass Holder. Then place the glass
against the Glass Holder. Make sure the screws pass through the holes on the
both the Hood Attachment Frame and the Glass Holder.
Step 2
Secure the Glass Holder b y fastening the knurled nuts to the screws as
pictured below. 
Step 3
Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger
4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.
 Step
4
Put the washers on before tightening the screws. The washers and 4 additional screws are inside a bag on the bottom foam.
Step 5
After the monitor mounts are attached, adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the
monitor. Leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket. Make sure
the 15mm rods go through both set of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all
screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor. SAFETY NOTE Make
sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base.
Step
6
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the Glass Frame Holder Bracket, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in. Step 7
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock i n place. Double check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the included hex keys.
 Step
8
Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood Attachment Frame. The flaps of the Hood are magnetic so they will automatically attach. Connect the bottom part of the hood by attaching the magnetic flap to glass frame holder. Connect the velcro straps to the sides of the hood.
Step 9-A: Connecting the PTZ Riser to the Ikan OTTICA
To connect the PTZ Camera Riser to the Ikan OTTICA camera, fasten the %4-20
screw on the PTZ Riser Plate to the thread on the bottom of the OTTICA camera.
Step 9-B: Connecting the PTZ Riser to other PTZ Cameras
To connect the PTZ Camera Riser to the other PTZ cameras, Remove the plate on
top of the PTZ Riser by unfastening the f o u r screws on the surface of the
plate. Once the plate has been removed, fasten the 4-20 screw on the PTZ Riser
Plate to the thread on the bottom of the PTZ camera. 
Step 10
Set the PTZ camera inside the hood b y aligning the screws on the riserplate
to the slot on the Base. O n c e the screws are aligned, S l i d e the r i s e
r plate
into the Base.
Step 11
To prevent light from leaking through the hood, seal both zippers down, attach
the velcro straps along the back and sides of the hood. Connect the cables to
the back of your PTZ camera by putting the m through the slot on the back of
the PTZ Hood. Once your cables are connected, tighten the draw string on the
back of the PTZ Hood.
Step 12
Mount your own tripod plate to the bottom plate by aligning the 1/4-20 and/or
3/8-16 screws and fastening them to the Bottom Plate . It is recommended that
you connect your tripod plate to front of the Bottom Plateso that you can
balance your teleprompter easier. Once your tripod plate is connected to the
Bottom Plate , mount the tripod plate to your tripod head.
Step 13
In order to properly balance the teleprompter , loosen the 4 screws on the bottom plate and slide the entire teleprompter system back or forward until the center of gravity has been determined. Once the center of gravity has been determined, tighten the thumb screws to keep the base from sliding.
Step
14
To secure your teleprompter system, insert the included headless screws into the threads behind and in front of the Base.
Step 15
The headless screws should be inserted to the threads as pictured below.
