INTRODUCTION
NVIDIA (see figure1)
When using your ikan teleprompter, 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 nvidia (figure 1)
1) Fist thing to do is make sure that the monitor of your ikan teleprompter is plugged in
powered on and connected to the VGAport of your 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.
You will press these keys until you get the same exact image on your ikan teleprompter
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.
