Quick Start Guide / PT1000 (How to set-up your computer for the PT1000)
IntroductIon
When using the PT1000 you should set up you computer to be in “Clone Mode” or
“Mirror Mode”. We do this so the talent can see the exact same thing the teleprompter
operator is viewing. In this guide we will go over some of the most common ways of
achieving this. Before you start you should make sure you have the last drivers for your
video card. You should visit the manufactures website the get these. We will go over the
Nvidia , ATI, and Intel way of achieving this as they are what most computers are
equipped with.
1)Fist thing to do is make sure that the monitor of the PT1000 is plugged in powered on and
connected to the VGA port of you computer. (It’s the blue 15 pin connector on the back of
your computer)
2)The easiest way to set up your computer if you are using a laptop is to use the hot keys.
Most laptops have a set of keys you press at the same time to toggle between display
modes. In this particular case the key combination is FN and the F4 key. (see illustation)
You will press these keys until you get the same exact image on the PT1000 that you have
on your laptop. The mode we are looking for is “Clone Mode”. Every laptop manufacturer
seems to have a different key combination so you should check your user’s manual.
