Product Overview
The TP-800 conference teleprompter kit is designed for
corporate conferences or other events where a speaker is
addressing an audience. From the audience's perspective,
the high-quality prompter glass is transparent, giving the
impression that the presenter is speaking fluently and
professionally without any assistance. From the presenter
perspective, the glass displays a mirror image of the pre-
prepared speech from the LCD monitor at the base of the
stand.
The height of the stand and the angle of the prompting
glass are fully adjustable to match the eye-line of the
presenter.
Features
Built into a ruggedized carry case
Completely freestanding and standalone
15” 4:3 LCD with the dvPrompter Plus application
built in
Can be powered by the mains or a V-Lock battery
HDMI input and HDMI output can be used to
connect two TP-800s together
The HDMI output can also be used to drive
external displays
The HDMI input also allows the built-in tablet to be
used as a HDMI monitor with third party software if
required
Fully controllable via Ethernet
An optional wired remote control is available.

Sharing Centre. In our example the computer is given the following IP settings so that the
computer matches the same IP range as the TP-800.

Cleaning the 50/50 Glass
This product contains a sheet of 50/50 glass please handle it with care.
To avoid a risk of damage or injury please follow this instruction manual and use caution
when transporting, un-packing, cleaning, assembling or dis-assembling this part of the
product.
Datavideo recommend cleaning the glass regularly to remove dust and finger print
marks. This will ensure the best image quality is recorded when the camera is looking through the glass.
Never attempt to clean the glass whilst it is mounted in the prompter instead remove it carefully from the
prompter, clean the glass and then re-install it into the prompter frame. Handle the glass carefully using the
cloth covered edges of the glass at all times.
To retain the required qualities of the glass and to avoid scratching the glass during cleaning.
Never use abrasive cloths, pads or abrasive based cleaning fluids on the glass.
Never use cleaning fluids based on an acid or vinegar solution.
Place the glass on a soft, stable, dirt and lint free work
surface such as a table with a clean cloth already laid out
on it. Then use a second clean, lint free, soft cloth to
clean the glass.
Do not apply cleaning fluids to the glass directly, instead
apply or spray a small amount of the cleaning fluid onto
the cloth. Proceed to clean the glass and work in a light
circular motion with the cloth. Ensure all finger marks and streaks are gone before turning the glass over and
repeating with the other side.

Optional Teleprompter Remote Control
The TP-800 conference prompter can be controlled and monitored in real time over IP using a laptop or table.
Optionally you purchase the WR-500 remote control for direct wired control. This WR-500 remote control
supports Bluetooth and Wired operation, only wired operation is supported by TP-800.
Wired Mode
When first removed from the retail package the WR-500 remote is already in wired mode. When a button is
pressed a RED LED will flash.

provided with this remote.
One end of the cable fits into the 3.5mm input adapter (Item I, supplied with the TP-800). The other end plugs
into the jack socket on the WR-500 remote.
NOTE: When using this remote in wired mode the DV Prompter Plus app should also be set to Wired –WR-
500 in the Remote menu option.
