Camera Exposure and the 60/40 Glass

After setting up the camera with the 60/40 glass in front of the lens adjust the camera set up and white balance. This is because the 60/40 Glass affects the camera exposure by approximately 1 stop almost like the effect of a neutral density filter. Consult your camera manual for further help and advice with its exposure and white balance settings.

Using the Riser Blocks

When using this TP-300 Prompter Kit you may need to use one or both riser blocks to raise the camera up so that the camera lens is positioned vertically as near to the middle of the 60/40 Glass as possible.
Two sets of screws are supplied for use with these riser blocks. The longer screws are for use with two blocks and the shorter screws when using only one block.
In some cases the blocks are not required at all.

PROMPTER KIT FOR TABLET TP-300
Mirrored Display: Set to ‘Off’ if reading the text directly from the device, set to ‘On’ if reading the text via a mirror.
Loop: Set to ‘On’ to continually loop the script when finished (only valid when playlists are not in use). Scrolling speed: Set the speed the text will start to scroll at, this can be adjusted via the hardware or network
remote control.
Cue marker: Optionally select a cue marker to define the line of text the talent should read. Cue Background: Set the cue marker background colour (only valid when using plain or combined cue
markers). External Display: When disabled any second display connected via HDMI or wireless will mirror the main
display, when enabled text will only scroll on the second display, the main display can be used to create and edit scripts as well as control the text.

interface for remote monitoring, a lower value will result in less delay but higher CPU and network usage. Lower values will require faster hardware.

These markers can then be used to quickly jump forward or backward between points in the text, when using the hardware or network remote control, should the running order of the production change.
Remote control: The optional Datavideo WR-500 controller can be used to control the script, please select either Bluetooth or wired mode.

heights may work but this cannot be guaranteed).

connected is dependant on the performance of the master device.
All slave devices must be connected to the same local network as the master device.
Setup Instructions

2. Open the settings menu on the slave device, enable slave mode and enter the IP address of the master.

Adjusting the lower rail of the prompter frame

Depending on the size and shape of the tablet used, it may be necessary to adjust the position of the lower rail on the prompter frame (Item A on page 6). The lower rail of the prompter frame can be removed and relocated. This is to move the position of the tablet forwards away from the camera position or backwards towards the camera position. To do this you will need the hex tools provided with the TP-300 kit (Item B on page 6).
1. First carefully dismantle the current TP-300 set up to remove the prompter frame (Item A).
2. Lay the prompter frame upside down on a flat surface so you can see the lower hex screws.
3. Use the larger hex tool (Item B) to remove the lower rail from its current position. Leave the pillars of the frame connected to the other rail. Be careful not to lose any Hex screws.
4. Re-locate the lower rail to its new position, either one hole backward or forward of where it was originally.
5. Secure the rail in its new position using the same Hex tool and screws. You can now rebuild the TP-300 set up with the modified prompter frame by using the supplied assembly directions
from page 8 onwards.

Cleaning the 60/40 Glass

This product contains a sheet of 60/40 glass please handle it with care.
To avoid a risk of damage or injury please follow this instruction manual and use caution when transporting, un-packing, cleaning, assembling or dis-assembling this part of the product.
Datavideo recommend cleaning the glass regularly to remove dust and finger print marks. This will ensure the best image quality is recorded when the camera is looking through the glass.
Never attempt to clean the glass whilst it is mounted in the prompter instead remove it carefully from the prompter, clean the glass and then re-install it into the prompter frame. Handle the glass carefully using the cloth covered edges of the glass at all times.
To retain the required qualities of the glass and to avoid scratching the glass during cleaning.
Never use abrasive cloths, pads or abrasive based cleaning fluids on the glass.  Never use cleaning fluids based on an acid or vinegar solution.
Place the glass on a soft, stable, dirt and lint free work surface such as a table with a clean cloth already laid out on it. Then use a second clean, lint free, soft cloth to clean the glass.
Do not apply cleaning fluids to the glass directly, instead apply or spray a small amount of the cleaning fluid onto the cloth. Proceed to clean the glass and work in a light circular motion with the cloth. Ensure all finger marks and streaks are gone before turning the glass over and repeating with the other side.
Once finished re-install the glass back into the prompter hood, again using the cloth covered edges only. Ensure the green circle sticker on the glass is facing you and the red circle sticker is facing the camera lens. Reseat/secure the camera hood if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My Bluetooth remote (WR-500) does not pair with my cell phone or tablet. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is the remote fully charged? If yes, try resetting the Bluetooth remote next. Then try pairing the device and remote again. Still not working? Clear, or delete, any items already in the tablet or cell phone’s Bluetooth list. On Apple iOS devices there is an arrow right icon next to each Bluetooth item previously connected. Tap on the arrow then use the remove or forget option. Android devices act in almost the same way with a settings icon instead. On Android devices the option may be unpair or delete. Once all previous Bluetooth items have been removed from the list then try pairing the device with the Bluetooth remote again. Try the above steps before contacting your supplier.
Q: My remote (WR-500) has paired with my tablet device over Bluetooth but I still have no control when using the DV Prompter Plus App. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Check you are using the latest version of the DV Prompter Plus App. If in doubt delete the App from the device, then download it again from the App store or Google Play. The DV Prompter Plus App Settings are important too. The Remote setting should be changed to Bluetooth before attempting to control the script
scrolling etc. Try the above steps before contacting your supplier.
