Quick Start Guide
Profesional 19” High-Bright PTZ-Compatible Teleprompter
OVERVIEW
The 19” PTZ Teleprompter from Ikan is a professional solution for teleprompting with PTZ cameras. The package provides an extra-wide hood
assembly to allow considerable movement of the camera within the wide beam splitter glass. The PTZ Teleprompter features a 19” 1000 cd/
m² monitor, 70/30 20”-wide beamsplitter glass, and a 25’ reading range. The teleprompter is designed for use with a wide range of PTZ
cameras, as the wide beamsplitter provides for a wide amount of left-right panning. The teleprompter includes a base system that can be
easily shifted forward and backwards, which enables mounting the camera to the prompter without requiring counterweights.
Please note that the PTZ4900-PTZ includes parts to build two types of teleprompter systems, a standard 19” Teleprompter that is compatible
with various types of mirrorless and broadcast cameras, and a 19” PTZ teleprompter that is compatible with a wide range of PTZ cameras.
This Quick Start Guide will show you how to set up the 19” Teleprompter for PTZ cameras. For instructions on how to set up the PT4900 for
broadcast or mirrorless cameras, please refer to the PT4900 Quick Start Guide on our website.

Step 5
After the monitor mounts are attached, adjust the 15mm rods to accommodate the monitor. Leave about 1 inch of room for the teleprompter bracket.
Make sure the 15mm rods go through both set of monitor mounts. Please ensure that all screws are properly tightened after inserting the monitor.
*SAFETY NOTE* Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of the rods inside the teleprompter base.
Teleprompter Base
Step 6
While sliding the teleprompter bracket into the slot of the Glass Frame
Holder Bracket, pull on the red knob to allow the bracket to fully slide in.
Step 7
Once the bracket is in place, tighten the side screw to lock in place.
Double check and make sure all the screws are tightened with the
included hex keys.
Step 9-A: Connecting the PTZ Riser to
the Ikan OTTICA
To connect the PTZ Camera Riser to the Ikan OTTICA camera, fasten
the ¼-20 screw on the PTZ Riser Plate to the thread on the bottom of
the OTTICA camera.
Step 9-B: Connecting the PTZ Riser to other
PTZ Cameras
To connect the PTZ Camera Riser to the other PTZ cameras, Remove the
plate on top of the PTZ Riser by unfastening the four screws on the surface
of the plate. Once the plate has been removed, fasten the ¼-20 screw on
the PTZ Riser Plate to the thread on the bottom of the PTZ camera.
Step 8
Fold the flaps of the Hood alongside the edges of the Hood Attachment Frame. The flaps of the Hood are magnetic so they will automatically attach. Connect
the bottom part of the hood by attaching the magnetic flap to glass frame holder. Connect the velcro straps to the sides of the hood.
Step 10
Set the PTZ camera inside the hood by aligning the screws on the riser plate to the slot on the Base. Once the screws are aligned, Slide the riser plate
into the Base.
Step 11
To prevent light from leaking through the hood, seal both zippers down, attach the velcro straps along the back and sides of the hood. Connect the cables
to the back of your PTZ camera by putting them through the slot on the back of the PTZ Hood. Once your cables are connected, tighten the draw string
on the back of the PTZ Hood.
Step 12
Mount your own tripod plate to the bottom plate by aligning the 1/4-20 and/or 3/8-16 screws and fastening them to the Bottom Plate. It is recommended
that you connect your tripod plate to front of the Bottom Plate so that you can balance your teleprompter easier. Once your tripod plate is connected to the
Bottom Plate, mount the tripod plate to your tripod head.
Step 13
In order to properly balance the teleprompter, loosen the 4 screws on the bottom plate and slide the entire teleprompter system back or forward until
the center of gravity has been determined. Once the center of gravity has been determined, tighten the thumb screws to keep the base from sliding.
Step 14
To secure your teleprompter system, insert the included headless screws into the threads behind and in front of the Base.
Step 15
The headless screws should be inserted to the threads as pictured below.
