We have found the new DV-9 and DV-11 prompters are the most flexible teleprompter available at an unbeatable price that most schools can afford. They have been specifically designed for the new breed of professional MiniDV camcorders such as the Sony PD170, Canon XL1 and Panasonic DVX100 that are found in most school studios. They will work with virtually any 1 or 3 chip MiniDV camcorder available. The light weight of the unit allows it to be used with inexpensive light duty tripods. The units set up quickly with its patent pending mirror assembly with 60/40 beamsplitter glass. We had ours operation in less than 30 minutes with exceptional results.

The included monitor can be controlled via remote control to change the size of the display. The monitor also reverses the text for a perfect mirror image. This ensures that the text is readable on the computer. Prompter Peoples’ patent pending fresnel lens increases the size of the DV-9's 7.2" display 20% to give a full 9” effective image size for use up to 8-10 feet away. The DV-11 includes a larger 9" LCD that uses the same patent pending fresnel technology to create an 11" image that is readable to 10-12 feet.

The DV-9/DV-11 prompters can even be taken off the tripod and used handheld to give stunning moving shots. It can also be battery powered with a 12V battery for use outside. A car cord with cigarette adapter is included at no extra cost.

The FREE PC software accepts any text file from all popular word processing packages including Microsoft Word. Scrolling can be controlled by the mouse or the optional wireless controller. The wireless controller allows you to change scrolling speeds up to 50 feet away without wires to trip over.

When you are done prompting the prompter quickly disassembles and can be easily carried in a laptop bag. You can even use the high quality LCD display as an extra monitor on the set.
