Second Wave RoboticPrompter – Teleprompter for PTZ Studio Cameras

The Second Wave RoboticPrompter is a professional
teleprompter system developed specifically for use with high-quality PTZ cameras
in the studio. Its robust yet lightweight metal housing
ensures durability and reliable operation – even during
continuous use.

The RoboticPrompter is manufactured in Germany with precision engineering
and is equipped with high-quality German-made mirror glass. The
system offers excellent optical performance and integrates seamlessly into
existing studio workflows.

Requirements, Solutions and Benefits

For professional studio use, a teleprompter must
combine good readability with the widest possible range of movement for the PTZ camera.
The generously dimensioned housing of the Second Wave
RoboticPrompter completely encloses the camera and prevents
disruptive stray light from entering. This keeps the displayed text clear and easy to
read.

The large format enables the text to be displayed clearly
while simultaneously providing the PTZ camera with a wide panning range.
This makes it easy to cover different recording situations –
for example, when a person is positioned to the side or when several
people speak into the camera one after another or simultaneously.

The Second Wave RoboticPrompter is available with different
monitor options:

• 24 inch Standard Brightness, with or without 3G-SDI

• 24 inch High Brightness, with or without 3G-SDI

• 22 inch Standard Brightness, with or without 3G-SDI

• 22 inch High Brightness, with or without 3G-SDI

This allows the teleprompter system to be configured to suit the respective
studio environment, lighting conditions and existing signal technology.

Talent Monitor for Professional Studio Use

A talent monitor is an essential component of the
teleprompter system in many studio productions. It allows the
people in front of the camera to keep the programme feed or other relevant content directly
in view.

Various talent monitor solutions are available for the
Second Wave RoboticPrompter. As the appropriate version depends on the
camera, the studio concept and the desired workflow, we will be
happy to advise you on the selection.

Teleprompter systems have been one of our areas of expertise for decades.
Our personal advice on putting together a complete solution
is also based on this experience.

Applications

• Television and broadcast studios

• News and presentation studios

• Corporate studios

• Universities and educational institutions

• Streaming and live-streaming studios

• Automated studio productions

• Productions with PTZ cameras

• Recordings with several people or different speaker positions

Benefits in the Workflow

The Second Wave RoboticPrompter combines reliable
text display with the freedom of movement of modern PTZ cameras. The
complete shielding against stray light improves readability and
makes it easier for the people in front of the camera to deliver a focused presentation.

Thanks to the wide panning range, the PTZ camera can capture
different positions and image compositions without requiring the
teleprompter system to be reconfigured. This supports efficient
studio workflows and enables flexible productions with changing speakers
and camera positions.

teleprompter system for PTZ studio cameras and demanding
studio productions.

The Perfect Addition: Motorised Height Axis and Network Control

The Second Wave RoboticPrompter is a large and heavy
professional teleprompter system. Manual height adjustments therefore require
considerable effort and are barely practical during ongoing studio operation.

The logical addition to the Second Wave RoboticPrompter is
the Second Wave Motorized Pedestal . Its motorised height adjustment
allows the camera and teleprompter to be precisely adapted to the height and
position of each speaker. Only a controllable
height axis can guarantee the perfect camera height for every speaker and therefore
a natural gaze directly into the camera.

In combination with the Second Wave Robotic Data Box , the
height adjustment can be controlled from a central
workstation via a network protocol. This integrates the previously missing fourth controllable
axis – height – into automated studio workflows.

The combination of the Second Wave RoboticPrompter, Second
Wave Motorized Pedestal and Second Wave Robotic Data Box forms a
professional complete solution for modern, automated and AI-READY
studio productions.
