Datavideo TP-950 PTZ camera teleprompter

The Datavideo TP‑950 is a purpose-built PTZ camera teleprompter designed to bring professional prompting workflows to modern robotic camera production environments. Engineered specifically for PTZ applications, it delivers a highly flexible and efficient solution that allows presenters to maintain direct eye contact with the camera while benefiting from smooth and reliable script guidance.

Unlike traditional teleprompters, the TP‑950 replaces the fixed display with a flexible tablet-based system, supporting devices up to 15.6 inches. This approach allows users to choose their preferred tablet platform, offering greater adaptability, cost efficiency and compatibility with modern production workflows. It also enables easy upgrades as display technology evolves, without replacing the entire system.

The innovative mechanical design allows PTZ cameras to be mounted upside down within the teleprompter, eliminating typical movement restrictions associated with standard PTZ configurations. This results in significantly improved freedom of pan, tilt and zoom movement, enabling more dynamic and natural camera operation while maintaining perfect script alignment for the presenter.

Designed for maximum compatibility, the TP‑950 features an adjustable PTZ lift and flexible curtain system that can be adapted to virtually any PTZ camera size. This ensures seamless integration across a wide range of camera models, making it an ideal solution for mixed-brand environments or scalable production setups. The system can be mounted on a tripod and positioned anywhere on set, providing complete flexibility for live events, studios and corporate productions.

The tablet mounting system is fully adjustable, allowing secure placement of various tablet sizes while maintaining optimal viewing angles. This ensures that script readability remains consistent and comfortable, regardless of the device used. The open platform design also allows integration with widely available consumer tablets, simplifying both setup and operation.

The TP‑950 is powered by Datavideo’s dvPrompter Plus software environment, which introduces advanced IP-based workflow capabilities. Operators can control and monitor the teleprompter remotely via WiFi or Ethernet using any modern web browser, enabling distributed control and multi-operator workflows. The system also supports synchronization of multiple teleprompters over IP, allowing consistent and coordinated script playback across complex production setups.

Advanced script management tools provide extensive control over text appearance and structure, including font size, style, color and alignment adjustments. The system also supports the creation of playlists and the integration of images within scripts, making it suitable for a wide range of production formats. In addition to text-based prompting, presentations such as slides can be incorporated and controlled seamlessly within the same workflow.

Control flexibility is further enhanced through support for multiple input methods, including wired and wireless remote controllers, foot switches and browser-based interfaces. This allows presenters or operators to adjust scrolling speed, reverse direction, navigate within scripts and switch between content in real time, ensuring full control during live productions.

With its PTZ-optimized design, flexible tablet integration and advanced network-based control features, the Datavideo TP‑950 offers a modern, scalable and highly adaptable teleprompter solution tailored for professional video production environments that demand efficiency, flexibility and precision.
