Talk:Teleprompter

message: I added the photo of President Clinton.  I hope it doesn't clutter up the article too much -- I think it's a useful depiction of how teleprompters are used. kmccoy (talk) 09:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone has suggested that this article be merged with idiot board. Strikes me that the latter is a sub-stub scarsely requiring a formal merge. Perhaps we could do a section on colloquial terms for teleprompter. --Dhodges 03:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The whole section titled "Innovations In Teleprompting" reads like spam by Jumbo Bright Prompters.  It was edited by an IP from Salt Lake City, Utah, coincidentally the location of this corporation.  I assume entries like this should be removed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.146.13.135 (talk) 22:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I was rereading this article and I realized the word "horizontal" had to come out when it came to scanning reversal.  It can be done with a vertical reversal as well.  (One or the other not both.)  To prove this try this:  Take something...say a magazine and set it flat on the table in front of turned away from you, opposite of how you would read it.  Take a mirror and hold it over it at a 45° angle, top towards you, as it would be on a prompter.  What you see in the reflected image has the vertical orientation correct but needs reversal of horizontal, just as the article originally stated.  BUT...now set the magazine in the direction it would be to read and look in the mirror again.  This time the horizontal is correct but the vertical needs to be flipped.  So you see it can be done either way.  BTW, this is NOT original research (not allowed on Wiki) but common sense and surely known to all in the world of prompters.  The suggested demo is just for discussion page folks. Filmteknik (talk) 05:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scanning Reversal 

message: The transparent, flat type of teleprompter, whose visible portion is only a gray glass panel, is now the ubiquitous type and needs an explanation - currently the explanation of this type's tech is very glossed-over.  Is there a video projector positioned on the floor below this type of teleprompter, projecting an inverted image up onto the screens?  Can we have a photo showing the projector's position?

message: Should this be the basis of a biography of the inventor, or just a ref in this article?  Jim.henderson (talk) 14:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I removed the following addition as unsourced and possibly promotional: "In 2010 a British company developed a computerless, covert prompting device called the Stageprompter. This was primarily designed for artists and bands performing up on stage but has many other features that are useful in a wide spectrum of industries / uses. The Stageprompter can be linked together for several performers and can be operated off stage or by a single foot switch onstage. Being computerless it is a very simple device to set up and operate which gives it a major advantage over traditional Teleprompter's." Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
