What is a teleprompter?
Teleprompters is the original name for a type of equipment that is used to assist public speakers. The teleprompter was invented by the american Hubert J. Schlafly, Jr. (Died 20-04-2011 at 91) Other names for the same equipment , though they may have established themselves in popular jargon, often are legally protected brand names and public use of them may lead to a very angry letter from their sollicitors.
Teleprompters, or electronic prompters are the modern electronic equivalent of the theaterprompter who prompts actors whenever they forget their lines.
Teleprompters are used by public speakers, news anchor men and other professionals in the broadcasting industry to deliver text to an audience in a smooth and sophisticated way.
A teleprompter generally consists of a translucent mirror directed in a 45 degree angle at screen that displays scrolling text . The screen is connected to a base computer that runs special teleprompting software which may be operated by an operator who's job it is to control the speed of the scrolling text.
Teleprompters generally come in 3 different styles.
First we have the speech prompter which is also known as the presidential prompter, the presentation prompter or the conference teleprompter
This prompter has a distinctive appearance and a distinctive use.
With the help of this kind of prompter audience are adressed from a stage position.
Secondly there are the studio teleprompters that are used in studio based productions.
The simplest teleprompters are the
prompters that are not placed directly in front of a camera. The great disadvantage of this type of teleprompter is that the actor is not looking directly into the camera while delivering his or her report
More sophisticated are the teleprompters where the camera is placed behind a translucent mirror that reflects the text in the direction of the actor/presenter.
Portable teleprompters, that can be used outside of the studio, are like the studio prompters but are lighter and can be folded and can easely be carried.
