FAQs

What is the maximum tablet size the TP-650 MARK II can support?

The TP-650 MARK II can accommodate tablets with a minimum width of 145mm and a maximum width of 265mm, measured in portrait orientation. This allows for large tablets up to 15.6 inches.

Do I need to purchase the WR-500 remote separately?

The WR-500 remote control is an optional accessory. The teleprompter can still be controlled via the dvPrompter Plus app using a web browser over IP.

Can I use my own script files?

Yes, the dvPrompter Plus app supports importing and editing various text file formats. The rich text editor also allows you to create scripts from scratch, embed images, and format text extensively.

How does the IP synchronization work?

When connected to the same local network (Ethernet or WiFi), multiple TP-650 MARK II units running the dvPrompter Plus app can be synchronized. One unit acts as the master, controlling the script scroll on all connected slave units simultaneously.

Is the mirror glass replaceable?

Yes, the high-quality mirror glass is designed to be replaceable if damaged. Please contact Datavideo support or your authorized dealer for replacement parts and instructions.

What is the main advantage of using the dvPrompter Plus app?

The app provides comprehensive control over script content, formatting, and scrolling speed, with flexible options for talent-led control via remote or remote operation via IP, enhancing usability and workflow.

Can I use the teleprompter with a standard tripod?

Yes, the TP-650 MARK II is designed for both ENG camera mounting and freestanding use, which can include mounting on a standard tripod or studio stand for its freestanding configuration.

Troubleshooting

Tablet screen is not visible in the mirror reflection.

Ensure the tablet is correctly positioned and centered within the teleprompter mount. Check that the camera lens is aligned with the center of the mirror.

WR-500 remote is not connecting.

Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the tablet and the remote is in pairing mode. If using a wired connection, ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the remote and the tablet.

Script scrolling is jerky or inconsistent.

Ensure the tablet has sufficient processing power and is not running other demanding applications. Close unnecessary apps. Check for firmware updates for the `dvPrompter Plus` app and tablet OS.

Cannot control the prompter via web browser.

Confirm that the tablet and the control device (computer or smartphone) are connected to the same local network. Ensure the `dvPrompter Plus` app is running and has network access enabled.

Text appears mirrored or reversed.

This is typically a setting within the `dvPrompter Plus` app itself. Look for a 'flip' or 'mirror' option for the displayed text and disable it if it's enabled.
