Prompter People Europe To Launch LED And Dimmable Fluorescent Lighting At BVE

Prompter People Europe, specialists in the provision of high performance, low cost prompters and lighting will launch the FloLight range of dimmable fluorescent lighting and the new on-camera MicroBeam 128 LED light at BVE, Stand D52.
At the same time, the company will be demonstrating its award winning range of prompters, lighting and monitors.
This is the UK debut for Prompter People Europe and follows their highly successful launch at IBC.
There are four models in the new FloLight dimmable fluroescent range with two, four, six or eight lamps. All the lamps are perfect for location lighting and include barn doors, which not only control spill, but also focus and intensify the light over a small area. Prompter People also supply a comprehensive range of accessories, including cases, dimmer controls and stands.
The FloLight LED light range incorporates the MicLight, the LED 500, 1000 and the new 128 LED MicroBeam lights are ideal for location work, because they are virtually shockproof and offer the brightest light in the smallest form factor.
They also offer significantly further 'throw' than a comparable fluorescent light because each of the LEDs have 30- 50 degree beam angle lenses that directs light forward, creating a beam pattern that is useful from one to 15 feet.
They are also extremely power efficient and can run for hours on inexpensive batteries with no concern with blowing a circuit breaker. LEDs give off virtually no heat so they are ideal for use in small confined areas.
The MicLight is a compact LED light that quickly slips on to a camera's shotgun mic. It runs for house on 3 AA batteries with 48 LEDs and with weighting less than five ounces, it's the perfect on-camera light.
The prompters on show will be the ProLine 11, ProLine 15, ProLine 17, ProLine Studio 17, ProLine Stage Pro for live events and ProLine Freestand. All ProLine prompters are ready to use right out of the box. And they all come with the 'Prompter People Difference' which is:
  • Premium glass: the beamsplitter is the key item that will affect video image. Prompter People's HD Ultra Clear Glass uses a high purity glass that assures the sharpest image without distortion. Also offered is their exclusive high brightness glass for outdoor shooting and unbreakable acrylic for safety and durability.
  • Highest level of adjustability: ProLine models offer complete adjustment of both the beamsplitter angle AND height. The beamsplitter assembly also folds flat for fast setup and breakdown
  • Completely tool-less setup: no tools are necessary for mounting, set-up, adjustment or breakdown of the prompter.
  • Solid aluminium frames: this assures perfect alignment of the glass. The rigidity of the frames is crucial when doing quick moves or use with a jib. Other vendors use flimsy sheet metal frames that wobble and flex.
  • Free Flip-Q or Mac software: easy to use and includes all the features needed for professional applications. With thousands of users, Flip-Q is field tested for the most demanding applications.
  • Live tech support: Prompter People provides customers with live technical support by video professionals that know video inside and out.
The two monitors on display will be the High-Bright 15" VGA/Composite Reversing Monitor and the High-Bright 17" VGA/Composite Reversing Monitor.
These monitors accept composite or VGA inputs and flip mirror-imaging electronically with a touch of a button. This allows for greatest flexibility for studio installs and is required for MOS compliant newsroom software use.
