Join Us for an Exclusive Webinar on Broadcast Transition! 🚀

For years, broadcast engineers have relied on blackburst as their trusted reference signal. Then along came IP and the introduction of Media-over-IP, bringing a new reference signal: Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

As facilities gradually migrate from SDI to IP, both BB and PTP need to coexist seamlessly. At Leader, we have 70 years of experience helping customers manage technology transitions. 🌐🔧

Introducing the Leader LT4670 Hybrid IP and SDI Sync Pulse Generator! This innovative product combines traditional BB/TLS, audio reference signals, and SDI test patterns with PTP and IP test patterns in a single solution.

📅 Event Details:
Join Steve and Kevin as they discuss the new Leader LT4670 and share insights on overcoming customer challenges faced by early IP adopters. Whether you have a SMPTE 2110 facility or are just starting your IP migration journey, this session will offer valuable information for everyone.

Don't miss out! Sign up now and be part of the discussion on the future of broadcast technology.

Is your next conference ready?
🎤 Dive into the World of Teleprompters for Live Events!

Hi, I'm Matt, and in this video, I'll be taking you behind the podium to see how teleprompters work. Teleprompters are an essential tool at conferences and live events, ensuring presenters can deliver their speeches smoothly. But have you ever wondered how they operate? Let’s explore the simple yet ingenious technology behind them.

The key component of a teleprompter is the beam splitter, a specially coated piece of reflective glass that splits light in two directions. Autocue beam splitters, for instance, allow 70% of the light to pass through while reflecting 30% back to the presenter. This setup enables the presenter to read the script reflected towards them without obstructing the audience's view, as they can see right through the glass. The hardware used in conference-style teleprompters differs from those in TV studios; it includes tall, adjustable stands to position the beam splitter glass at eye level, with monitors at the base displaying the script as a video input from prompting software.

One crucial aspect of using teleprompters is ensuring the video displayed on the monitor is inverted, as it needs to appear the right way around when reflected in the beam splitter. Autocue’s Explorer and Pioneer software offer settings to easily flip the video. This seamless integration of technology makes it possible for presenters to maintain eye contact with the audience while effortlessly following their script. If you’re interested in learning more about our Navigator series conference teleprompters and how to use them, be sure to check out our other videos. T
