Notes and Tips - Tablet Devices
Getting started? - Your first decision is to decide what type of device you will use as you need to download a prompting software application. Our rigging will fit all variants of tablets and using 15mm bars connects on pretty much any kind of camera from DSLR and PTZ cameras to conventional video and film cameras on Jimmy Jibs, Steadicams, handheld or tripod mounted rigs!
Tablet and Phone Software options
· Portaprompt hire kit – We use Android Tablets with dvPrompter Plus software and the WR500 wired / Wi-Fi controller
· Portaprompt sales kit -For sales we suggest the dv prompt app which is available as a free download on Google Play or the Apple App Store – this then allows you to use the WR500 from Datavideo (which is a wired / Wi-Fi scroll control.As alternatives we would suggest Teleprompter 3 and Pro Prompter both of which have been recommend to us and which we understand can be scrolled using a second device (phone) via Bluetooth
Limitations in using tablet systems? Editing scripts changes with tablets can be a pain as you have to de-rig the tablet, turn mirror mode off, make the changes, re-mirror and re-rig. Alternatively you can link with a wireless or Bluetooth key board and / or scroller which makes the operation very simple.
Using WinDigi IP Software in a tablet workflow. Create script in our WinDigi PC software, which has far more functionality than the tablet based software, then using a Wi-Fi network stream the prompt signal via NDI® to an Android, iOS Tablet or Prompt Monitor.
