Autoscript EPIC-IP17M - 17-inch Prompt/17-inch Talent Monitor Package with Tally Sensor/Cable and Power Supply Unit in Black Finish

The Autoscript EPIC-IP17M is an advanced 17-inch integrated teleprompter and talent monitor system designed to offer a compact, efficient, and high-performance solution for professional broadcast environments. This system combines a high-brightness 17-inch prompt monitor (EVO-IP) with a 17.3-inch full HD talent monitor (ETM), creating a robust on-camera solution perfect for live broadcast and studio productions. The lightweight and slim design makes it ideal for small robotic setups, mobile units, and studios with space constraints, without compromising performance.

The EPIC-IP17M integrates the latest EVO-IP technology, featuring IP connectivity and scroll engine functionality, which allows the prompt monitor to connect directly to the WinPlus-IP software application via an IP network. This ensures smooth synchronization and seamless scrolling of prompter video without the need for an additional scroll engine, reducing the complexity of your setup. The inclusion of HD-SDI and Composite video inputs provides excellent compatibility with a wide range of broadcast equipment, while the new rear panel design improves cable management for cleaner, more organized installations. The integral back plate features a quick-release mechanism, allowing for rapid attachment and detachment of the monitor from the Intelligent Prompting mounting system.

As part of the Intelligent Prompting system, the EPIC-IP17M comes with Autoscript's new mounting system and carbon fibre hood. The entire monitor, hood, and mounting assembly has been carefully optimized to minimize the number of components, greatly improving setup time and reducing the lens opening at the back of the hood. The flexible sealing ring around the lens allows for enhanced access for manual control via the hand grip or connection to a pan bar zoom/focus control. The system also features four integrated tally lights that provide 270-degree visibility, allowing for clear communication between the talent and the operator. For those who require timecode, tally, and camera ID displays, the optional CLOCKPLUS-IP integration offers an attractive and unified display solution. The EPIC-IP17M's full HD feedback monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 ensures that the talent can clearly see the script in real-time, further enhancing the teleprompting experience.

With a high-brightness 1500 NITS prompt display, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and a wide viewing angle of 170° horizontally and 160° vertically, the EPIC-IP17M ensures that scripts remain clearly visible in any lighting conditions. The system's compact design makes it easy to use with wide camera lenses (4.3mm focal length) without requiring a counterbalance in most configurations, thus reducing the overall weight and setup complexity.

Whether you are working in a small studio or a large-scale production environment, the EPIC-IP17M provides a powerful and versatile solution that integrates seamlessly with modern broadcast equipment. Its lightweight design, high-performance features, and intuitive integration with WinPlus-IP make it the ideal choice for professionals seeking a reliable teleprompting system.
