Datavideo TP-650 Teleprompter

The Datavideo TP-650 Teleprompter is a large-format tablet-based prompting system designed for ENG cameras, studio productions, interviews, presentations and other setups where the presenter needs to maintain direct eye contact with the camera while reading a prepared script. Instead of using a dedicated built-in monitor, the TP-650 works with compatible Apple iPads and Android tablets, providing a flexible prompting solution that can be adapted to different production environments and operator preferences.

Designed for larger tablets

The TP-650 accepts tablets with a width from 145 mm to 265 mm measured in portrait orientation and is designed to accommodate large devices including the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and tablets up to approximately 15.6 inches. A larger display can improve script readability for presenters positioned farther from the camera and allows larger text sizes to be used without reducing the amount of visible script too severely.

60/40 beamsplitter glass for clear prompting

The system uses high-quality 60/40 teleprompter glass with low iron content to reduce unwanted color tint. The presenter sees the reflected script while the camera shoots through the glass toward the subject. This arrangement allows the talent to read naturally while appearing to look directly into the lens, which is particularly useful for corporate videos, interviews, announcements, educational material and studio presentation work.

Rail-mounted configuration for ENG cameras

The TP-650 uses a dedicated prompter rail system that supports the camera, glass frame, hood and tablet holder as a single assembly. The adjustable mounting bracket and camera riser make it possible to align the lens correctly with the center of the beamsplitter. The cloth hood helps block stray light between the camera and the glass, improving contrast and reducing reflections that could interfere with the image or the presenter’s view of the text.

Works with Datavideo dvPrompter Plus

Datavideo’s dvPrompter Plus app provides script display and scrolling control on compatible iOS and Android tablets. It supports Unicode text, allowing scripts to be prepared in a wide range of languages. Scroll speed, font size, script position and playlists can be adjusted within the prompting workflow, making the system suitable for both self-operated prompting and setups where another crew member controls the script.

Optional WR-500 remote control

The optional Datavideo WR-500 controller can operate dvPrompter Plus in either Bluetooth or wired mode. It can pause and resume scrolling, increase or decrease scroll speed, change font size, jump to predefined break markers and switch between scripts in a playlist. This can be useful when the presenter needs direct control of the script or when a prompt operator wants a simple physical controller rather than using the tablet screen.

Suitable for studio and location production

The assembled TP-650 measures up to approximately 415 mm wide, 290 mm high and 750 mm deep, with a total weight of about 3.3 kg. Its operating temperature range is specified from 0°C to 40°C. Because the system uses the tablet as the display, the teleprompter itself requires no separate power source, simplifying cabling around the camera and allowing the prompting setup to remain independent from the camera’s power system.
