Inteliprompter Software

The program application Inteliprompter created by Videouniversity (Great Britain), represents an inexpensive packet for creation and an output to the teleprompter monitor of the announcer text. This application works in Windows 95, 98, ME, NT or 2000 environment.

Basic characteristics Inteliprompter are the following:

• Fluent scrolling of the text;
• Possibility of a choice of the size and color of a font;
• Full-function processing of the text;
• Reverse mode of the text display;
• Color of a background chosen by the user;
• Change of style of the text (Bold, Underline, Italic, etc.);
• Marks (bookmarks) determined by the user, which number may achieve 999;
• Export of the text to the rtf and txt formats;
• Import of the text from the rtf and txt formats;
• Possibility of printing of the displayed text;
• Support of control from the keyboard, mice, joystick or the specialized controller;
• Built-in instruction of the user and a file of the help.

The sphere of application of this software is wide enough. For example, it rather is frequently applied in field work when it is necessary to make the brief introduction to a scene or to give the small comment in the frame. In this case the notebook with installed Inteliprompter is used all over again for typing, and then is mounted directly near to the camera that the reporter well saw the screen of notebook. Further all is simple: the text is included on scrolling, the operator shoots, and the journalist makes the text. All is simple, and without any doubles.

Though the zone of an output of the text at this application is limited by size of 14” monitor, it is possible to use the monitors with the size more than 14", however in this case efficiency of use of the area of the screen is reduced.

It is necessary to note, that requirements to the computer power under Inteliprompter using are insignificant. All that is necessary for work of the application is the computer with Pentium processor, the RAM 8 MB, 25 MB of an free space on a hard disk, graphic adapter VGA and operational system Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000.

For fans of exotic, and also for those who wants to receive the teleprompter practically free-of-charge, the Videouniversity offers the software, working on DOS platform. it is actually necessary to pay only for the monitor, and the prices on everything else, including the application, hardly will exceed $100 as the VideoPrompter software is capable to work under control of DOS on the IBM-compatible computer, beginning from 286 (if someone else remembers, that there were also such computers) with RAM 640 kB and even without a hard disk. This scanty memory has enough to process text by volume of 5 thousand lines.

For control of the text display the Videouniversity has developed the special hand-held controller, allowing changing speed of the text scrolling, to operate by the mode “start/stop” and to reverse the picture.

The controller represents the small cylindrical handle which easily is located in the presenter hand. It is connected to the computer and has the button for control of the operation mode of the teleprompter.
