NAB is just around the corner, so for the next week or so you can expect an avalanche of new broadcast-related gear. Like the ProPrompter Wing from Bodelin Technologies. It attaches to your camcorder’s tripod mount and allows your iPhone or iPod Touch to hang off the side, relatively close to the lens, and be used as a teleprompter.
The other piece of this puzzle is the ProPrompter software which is still awaiting approval on the Apple App Store. It features smooth scrolling in landscape or portrait modes, seven ‘prompting’ speeds, customizable fonts, text size and background color as well as cue point functionality. Your scripts need to be uploaded to the ProPrompter website and then downloaded to your device, but you’re able to upload as many as you need once you’re logged into their site.
The ProPrompter software will be free once available on the App Store, and pricing for the ProPrompter Wing will most likely be officially announced at NAB.
