Basic Presidential Teleprompter

Two textbook-size panes of glass rest on top of two tall, narrow poles and flank the podium. This is the Presidential Teleprompter. During this campaign season, it was ubiquitous at both Democratic and Republican candidates’’ events.

By using a teleprompter, a speaker has greater eye contact with the audience. One must not forget, however, that it is a performance device only. Sometimes the speaker becomes more focused on simply reading the words rather than conveying passion for and an understanding of what he/she is saying. One should also be aware of the possibility of losing one’s place. If the teleprompter operator’s speed does not follow the speaker’s or if the speaker goes off script, problems ensue. It can be embarrassing. How to deal with this? The speaker should have the written text on the podium for reference in such a contingency.


$1,295 That’s per 10-hour day with a senior operator.

We also have the Robotic Adjusting Prompter system. This allows the two glass panels to be raised or lowered remotely to the exact height required.
No longer does anyone have to run onstage to adjust the height of the prompter for the next speaker. The operator sets the exact height for each performer or speaker in advance and then, as soon as one person is finished, uses the remote control to adjust the height to fit the next person.
