FACE-2-FACE CONFIGURATIONS

The Face-2-Face Teleprompter can be used as:

• A classic teleprompter: look straight at the camera and read the text reflected on the beam splitter glass.
  Use this configuration to get your classic news anchor shot.
• A Periscope teleprompter: look straight the camera while looking straight at the person talking to you.

Use this configuration to get a direct connection between the interviewee and the interviewer and achieve a very strong personal effect between the viewers and the person on screen.

• Adjust the distance between the beam splitter glass and the camera to accommodate most of the lenses.
  For better results:
• Adjust the height of the camera to be leveled with the eyes of the interviewee.

• Compatible with any smart phones
• Compatible with tablet with a width no greater than 18 cm or 7"
