The reaction to Covid-19-with more home and remote working-has brought about new styles of broadcast operations, which extend to teleprompters. In general, Accardi observes, the prompting market is scrambling to cope with the new normal. Now more than ever, people are depending on prompters to get the message out the first time and we have been designing systems that meet the customers’ needs. “Small consumer-based products fall short on readability, connectivity and dependability. “Everyone wants smaller but the problem is that the talents’ eyes are not getting any better,” said Michael Accardi, president of CueScript. FEWER PHYSICAL BOUNDARIESĪ practical downside to the shift towards more compact devices is emerging technology meeting the limitations of human faculties. “The need for ‘smarter’ IP-based solutions is extremely important, which is why Telescript is partnering with a global technology company to add their IP into our monitors,” he said, adding that the details of this partnership will be announced this month. The understanding and popularity of teleprompting has increased considerably, O’Brien says, with greater demand for these units not just in the home but new and established studios as well. Covid-19 has affected every person and every business, forcing media enterprises to find more ways to connect to small devices at remote locations, according to Chris O’Brien, president of Telescript International.
