ikan PT4900S-PTZ Profesional 19 Inch High Bright PTZ Compatible

Teleprompter w/ 3G-SDI

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/m² 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, as 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 backward, which enables mounting the camera to the prompter without requiring counterweights.

Please note that the PTZ4900S-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 or mirrorless cameras, please refer to the PT4900 Quick Start Guide on our website.

What’s Included

Teleprompter Assembly 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 both the Hood Attachment Frame and the Glass Holder.

Step 2
Secure the Glass Holder by 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 it in 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 the 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 ¼-20 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 four screws on the surface of the plate. Once the plate has been removed, fasten the ¼-20 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 by aligning the screws on the riser plate to the slot on the Base. Once the screws are aligned, Slide the riser plate into the Base.

Step 11
To prevent light from leaking through the hood, seal both zippers down, and attach the velcro straps along the back and sides of the hood. Connect the cables to the back of your PTZ camera by putting them through the slot on the back of the PTZ Hood. Once your cables are connected, tighten the drawstring 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 the front of the Bottom Plate so 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 .
