Quasar Goes Green With LED

Portaprompt, manufacturers of prompting equipment since 1976, are showcasing again this year at the Broadcast Video Expo.
Launching this year at BVE is the new range of Quasar high bright low weight Green LED on camera flat screen prompters.
The new 15" high bright LED 1500 nit on camera unit will be showcasing alongside the new 9" 400 nit high bright LED on camera unit.
The 15" lightweight LED unit uses only 2.9 amps instead of the 4.55 amps of the conventional unit giving a huge saving on power and heat, saving 36% of battery power whilst working on field locations.
The 15" LED is more robust, with higher brightness and contrast and longer panel life.
The full Quasar LCD range of ultra bright and ultra light TFT colour on camera teleprompter units in FIVE sizes 10.5, 12", 15", 17" & 20" (up to 1600 Nits & 100-250volts AC 12VDC) will also be on show at BVE.
They are designed without a fan for silent running and suitable for location, studio and virtual studio use and are lightweight, making them ideal for robotic head mounting with an improved on-camera tilt range.
They also have automatic PAL/NTSC signal detection with auto-terminating BNC loop-through and VGA input. The flat panel displays have been engineered to obtain the very brightness and contrast.
The displays are suitable for on-camera prompting units, conference glass stand units or direct reading monitors.
The Quasar range of ultra bright teleprompters are fitted with very high brightness backlights, making them totally suitable for outside use. Turning down the brightness for indoor use reduces power consumption.
Three wireless prompting innovative and cost effective speed controls will also be showcased at BVE.
They include:

• The award winning 3 button Key Fob prompting control - so small it will fit hidden into the presenter's hand


• The variable speed Wireless Hand Remote prompting control with 2 button programmable functions for scroll direction, page jumping and story selection
• The Innovation Wireless Accelerator prompting foot control with its unique daisy feature to link to other foot and hand controls for multi-presenter programmes
