ikan PT4700 17 Inch Teleprompter Pedestal and Dolly Turnkey

Product Information

The PT4700-PEDESTAL is a turnkey broadcast solution offered by Ikan. This solution includes a 17-inch teleprompter, pedestal, and dolly. The system has been tested internally for payload compatibility. The 17 Professional High Bright Beam Splitter Teleprompter (PT4700) is equipped with a teleprompter glass frame, teleprompter hood, metal frame, washers, teleprompter boot, monitor mounts, and a teleprompter bracket. The teleprompter system is designed to accommodate camera setups up to 36.5 lbs after mounting the full 17 teleprompter without the counterweight. The pedestal can accommodate cameras up to 56.8 lbs. The package includes a hard case for the entire teleprompter system, a separate hard case for the pedestal, and a carrying bag for the dolly.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Place the teleprompter glass frame on a flat surface and remove the four screws.
2. Align and attach the teleprompter hood with the eight screw pegs from the teleprompter frame.
3. Ensure that the thicker side of the metal frame is on top and the slimmer side is on the bottom.
4. Put the washers on before tightening the screws. The washers and four additional screws are inside a bag on the bottom foam.
5. Extend the teleprompter hood open and attach the teleprompter boot using the clips. Align the seam with the bottom of the teleprompter hood.
6. Remove the monitor mounts from the teleprompter base using the included larger 4mm hex key to loosen from the 15mm rods.
7. Attach the monitor mounts on the back of the monitor’s VESA-compatible threads using the four included screws and provided a 2mm hex key.
8. Adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the monitor, leaving about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket. Make sure the 15mm rods go through both sets of monitor mounts. Ensure all screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor.
9. While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the teleprompter base, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.
10. Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock it in place. Double-check and ensure all screws are tightened with the included hex keys.
11. (Optional) If the teleprompter is too front-heavy, attach the included counterweight to the back of the teleprompter base.

To make the teleprompter more portable, it is packed in a reusable, high- quality foam case designed to fit into Ikan’s PT-CASE-V2. Do not throw away the foam case. The monitor ports on the teleprompter include HDMI. For more information, visit www.ikancorp.com or contact Ikan at 1.713.272.8822 or [email protected].
