Autoscript EPIC-IP17 - 17-inch Prompt/17-inch Talent Monitor On-Camera Package with Carbon Fibre Hood/Glass and Mounting System in Black Finish

The Autoscript EPIC-IP17 is a cutting-edge integrated 17-inch teleprompter and talent monitor system that combines high-quality performance, flexibility, and ease of use for broadcast professionals. As part of the EPIC-IP integrated prompting series, this system offers a compact and lightweight solution, perfect for both large and small studio setups, including robotic systems. The EPIC-IP17 features a full HD talent monitor (ETM) and a high-brightness prompting screen, all housed in one sleek package, ensuring excellent script visibility for both talent and operators in any production environment.

The 17-inch EPIC-IP17 boasts a fully integrated design with a high-brightness 1500 NITS prompt display and a 400 NITS feedback monitor, offering superb clarity even in challenging lighting conditions. The prompt monitor supports a resolution of 1280 x 1024, while the feedback monitor provides 1920 x 1080 resolution, ensuring high-quality visuals for talent and production teams. The monitor is designed to be used with the WinPlus-IP software, directly integrating for seamless synchronization without the need for an external scroll box. This makes the setup both simpler and more efficient, especially in time-sensitive production environments.

The talent monitor (ETM) is mounted using friction hinges, allowing for easy adjustment of the viewing angle. When not in use, the talent monitor folds neatly under the prompt monitor, reducing the system's depth and weight. The integrated carbon fiber hood protects the glass and minimizes the lens opening at the back, allowing for improved access for direct control via hand grip or connection to pan bar zoom/focus control. This design reduces the number of components in the system, simplifying setup time while improving performance. Additionally, the system includes four integrated tally lights, providing 270-degree visibility around the teleprompter to ensure constant communication between the operator and talent.

The EPIC-IP17 also integrates with the CLOCKPLUS-IP system (optional) for timecode, tally, and camera number display, offering an attractive and unified look for your production setup. With the ability to work with a range of camera lenses (including those with a 4.3mm focal length), this system is versatile enough to meet the needs of any broadcast environment, from news studios to live event productions. The system's unique mounting and hood design ensure compatibility with even the widest lenses, making it one of the most flexible solutions available in the market.

In addition to its outstanding performance, the EPIC-IP17 is also built for ease of use. The system includes dual HD-SDI and CVBS video inputs for flexible connectivity with a range of broadcast equipment. The detachable talent monitor (ETM) offers the flexibility to upgrade from an EVO-IP monitor at any point, while the integrated prompt display and feedback monitor create a fully synchronized presenter information center, empowering talent to deliver their script clearly and efficiently in any situation.
