Datavideo 2013 Ditch the Teleprompters Until the arrival of ipad / tablet-based systems, teleprompters were expensive, ungainly and yet another piece of technology the crew had to learn.

The prompting software has the simplicity of a phone app, while the rigs enjoy tool-free mounting and high quality components for an impressive teleprompting performance. Units can be operated with a wired or bluetooth controller and can even be used as part of a centralized prompting solution with the use of WiFi bridging units.

What makes our converters different? There are lots of converters on the market. So it can be difficult to choose the right model for you. With Datavideo, as well as sheer conversion quality, practicalities are important. With many of the devices, loops and velcro straps make fitting devices to tripods or cameras a breeze, while cables are secured for fault-free operation. We are also careful to ensure that units do not run too hot and we build them to withstand the typical knocks and bumps of a production studio or location shoot.

What do worship users need for live productions? - Traditionally houses of worship have been big users of video technology. They typically film and record live productions, mostly in order to produce DVDs, record for TV broadcast and relay ceremonies, talks and services to other rooms.

What Datavideo products are most popular? - Datavideo s mobile video switchers are a great choice for this market. They enable houses of worship to produce really high quality productions that have a really professional feel. Signal converters are also proving really useful, helping crews integrate every sort of camera, projector and video monitor into their AV system. SDI to SDI to SDI VP-634 & VP-633 SDI repeaters.
