Autoscript EPIC-IP15 - 15-inch Prompt/15-inch Talent Monitor On-Camera Package with Carbon Fibre Hood/Glass and Mounting System in Black Finish

The Autoscript EPIC-IP15 is an integrated 15-inch prompt and talent monitor system, designed to provide broadcast professionals with the ultimate solution for seamless teleprompting in any environment. As the first 15-inch E.P.I.C. integrated system, this compact and lightweight monitor combines both a high-brightness teleprompter and a full HD talent monitor in a single, efficient setup. The EPIC-IP15 is perfect for a range of studio setups, including robotic setups and situations where space and weight are critical. This system delivers high-quality performance, reliability, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for live production, newsrooms, and any environment where prompt clarity and talent visibility are paramount.

The EPIC-IP15 features a fully integrated talent monitor (ETM) that allows for easy viewing by the on-screen talent. The monitor is mounted using friction hinges, allowing for easy adjustment of the viewing angle, and can be folded under the prompt monitor when not needed. This design reduces the depth, weight, and power consumption of the system, making it a more compact solution than traditional setups. The carbon fiber hood protects the glass and further simplifies transportation, while also optimizing the geometry for use with the widest lenses on the market, including those with a 4.3mm focal length.

The system's video inputs include dual HD-SDI and composite video (CVBS) BNC connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of broadcast equipment. The EPIC-IP15 integrates directly with the WinPlus-IP prompting software, allowing for perfect synchronization and smooth teleprompting without the need for a scroll box. The monitor also supports the CLOCKPLUS-IP for timecode, tally, and camera number display (optional), providing a complete solution for live broadcasts. The EPIC-IP15's design features four integrated tally lights, providing 270-degree visibility to the operator and talent, ensuring clear communication during production.

This integrated system also benefits from a high-brightness prompt display (1500 NITS) and a contrast ratio of 700:1, ensuring that text is clear and visible even in bright studio conditions. The feedback monitor has a brightness of 400 NITS, providing clear visual feedback with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Both monitors are optimized for maximum clarity, with wide viewing angles of 160° horizontally and 120° vertically for the prompt display, and 140° horizontally and 120° vertically for the feedback monitor.

The EPIC-IP15 combines ease of use, flexibility, and high-quality performance in a single integrated solution, providing a powerful tool for teleprompter and talent monitoring in professional broadcast environments.
