Datavideo TP-500 DSLR prompter w 15mm rail w/o remote

Datavideo TP-500 DSLR Prompter – Converts your tablet into a teleprompter with 15mm rail (without remote)

The Datavideo TP-500 converts a tablet (not included) into a teleprompter for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It uses the dv Prompter Plus application for iOS and Android to display and control scripts during recording. The unit ships without a remote, and it includes a 15mm rail for integration with standard camera rigs.

How the TP-500 helps your production

Use your tablet as the teleprompter display and keep your script directly in front of the camera. With the dv Prompter Plus app you can prepare scripts or cue sheets, control automatic scrolling speed, and run through talking points without memorizing every line. The TP-500 supports on-camera or off-camera mounting as part of a professional video rig.

App compatibility and control options

The Datavideo dv Prompter Plus application works on both Apple and Android devices. With this app you can set automatic scrolling speed for hands-free operation or control the script manually. Additionally, the app can be used together with an optional wired or wireless remote controller for more direct control.

Tablet compatibility

The TP-500 is designed for use with tablets up to 11.6". This makes it suitable for many small tablets commonly used in field and studio productions. Remember that the tablet itself is not included with the TP-500.

Optional remote controller

Datavideo offers an optional WR-500 remote that can operate either wired or wirelessly. The WR-500 is compatible with Datavideo’s prompter workflow and can be used with the app. Note: the WR-500 is described as usable for convenient control with the TP-300 in Datavideo’s product information.
