Autocue has announced a new series of teleprompters that are designed for modern content creators and broadcasters.
Autocue has redesigned its entire range, placing speed, simplicity, and sustainability as the key design elements it needed to meet. The new range includes prompting hardware and software that offers more modern solutions for broadcasters, independent production companies, AV/events and houses of worship, or corporate and education facilities.
The Autocue range now comprises three distinct series of teleprompters, the Explorer Series, Pioneer Series, and the Navigator Series. There are various models and sizes available within each series.
Explorer Series
The Explorer Series provides comprehensive prompting packages with simple HDMI teleprompters and professional prompting software suitable for beginners and smaller installations.
With the Explorer Series, users can quickly set up a prompter with minimal parts that quickly adjust for cameras and lenses. No tools are needed. Explorer software accepts standard file types and is easy to control with a built-in scroll control or optional USB controllers.
For users new to prompting, Autocue’ has a new video education series that provides tips.
Pioneer Series
The Pioneer Series offers broadcast-standard prompting monitors and live editing software with newsroom and PowerPoint integration designed to support everything from live events to local news.
The customizable Pioneer Series offers complete compatibility for live and as-live productions. The prompter hardware is designed with full adjustability to make setting up the prompter faster and easier and includes a selection of video inputs including SDI. Pioneer Software is icon-based with familiar layouts for easy reference and includes integration with popular MOS newsroom systems, as well as NDI output for seamless IP integration. It also has unique PowerPoint integration, which automatically creates a script from the slide notes and gives the option to show slide previews to the presenter alongside the text.
Navigator Series
The Navigator Series provides executive and conference prompter packages for public speakers.
The Navigator Series is designed to be simple and easy to use for public speaking, with conference stands that give clear visibility of the script and familiar software that anyone can use. The Navigator Conference Packages come in two options, Navigator for simple presentations in smaller indoor venues and Navigator Plus, designed for presentations anywhere. Both options include cables, software, and a USB controller to ensure a prompt start right out of the box.
Other features
The new prompters are backward compatible with Autocue’s previous Starter, Professional, and Master Series, ensuring users can integrate with existing hardware and controllers, making the transition easy and cost-effective.
The prompters are built to last using sustainable design principles, with sturdy and recyclable metal housings, locally sourced shared components, and easy serviceability. The software is continually updated to align with changing workflows to ensure that investment in Autocue solutions remains beneficial for the long-term.
The new Autocue teleprompter range will be available from the end of April and they will be shown for the first time at NAB 2023, booth C5817.
