Frequently Asked Questions - TP-800 DataVideo

How do I connect the TP-800 to a laptop for control?

Connect an Ethernet cable between the TP-800 and your laptop. The TP-800 default IP is 192.168.10.10. Set your laptop to a static IP in the same range (e.g., 192.168.10.5) with subnet 255.255.255.0. Open a web browser to http://192.168.10.10:9789 to access the control interface.

Can I use the TP-800 with a router on a DHCP network?

Yes. Connect a USB mouse to the TP-800, right-click to close the dvPrompter Plus app, navigate to Settings > More > Ethernet, change IP mode from Static to DHCP, then connect to your LAN. The WebUI address will be displayed under the Network menu.

How do I clean the 50/50 glass beam splitter?

Remove the glass from the prompter carefully. Place it on a soft, clean surface. Use a lint-free cloth with a small amount of cleaning fluid (do not apply directly to glass). Wipe gently in circular motions. Avoid abrasive cloths, pads, or acidic/ vinegar-based cleaners.

What remote controls are compatible with the TP-800?

The TP-800 supports the Datavideo WR-500 handheld controller (wired mode only), the FS-30 foot switch, and generic 2.4GHz presentation clickers with a USB receiver. Connect the WR-500 via the 3.5mm adapter; for FS-30 and clickers, plug the USB receiver into the white USB port.

How do I synchronize multiple TP-800 units?

For HDMI daisy-chaining: connect the HDMI output of one TP-800 to the HDMI input of another. For Ethernet synchronization: all units must be on the same DHCP network. Set the master device IP, then on slaves enable Slave Mode (Settings > Slave Mode) and enter the master IP. The slave will mirror the master.

Can I import PowerPoint slides into the dvPrompter Plus app?

Yes. First export your slides as JPEG or PNG images from PowerPoint (File > Save As > JPEG) or Keynote (File > Export to > Images). Then on the TP-800 web interface, tap '+' to create a new Slides script, import the images using the multi-import button. Slides will be displayed mirrored for the glass.

How do I update the dvPrompter Plus app?

Download the latest .apk file from www.datavideo.com/product/tp-800. Copy it to the root of a USB flash drive. Connect the drive to the white USB port on the TP-800. Use a USB mouse to open File Manager +, locate the file, double-click to install. The app will automatically open after installation.

What power options does the TP-800 have?

The TP-800 can be powered via the included 12V 2A universal mains PSU or by a V-Lock battery (not included). The DC input supports 12V. A D-Tap cable is provided for battery connection.

How do I adjust the prompter height and glass angle?

The extendable pole adjusts from 45 cm to 161 cm. Loosen the thumb screw on the pole clamp to raise or lower. The beam splitter glass clamp can be angled; adjust the thumb screw on the clamp and set the glass at approximately 40° so the full LCD screen is visible in the glass.

What is the default IP address and how do I change network settings?

The default static IP is 192.168.10.10. To change to DHCP, go to Settings > More > Ethernet and switch to DHCP. For direct connection, set your computer to a static IP like 192.168.10.5. The WebUI port is 9789.

Cleaning the 50/50 Glass

This product contains a sheet of 50/50 glass please handle it with care.

To avoid a risk of damage or injury please follow this instruction manual and use caution when transporting, un-packing, cleaning, assembling or dis-assembling this part of the product.

Datavideo recommend cleaning the glass regularly to remove dust and finger print marks.

This will ensure the best image quality is recorded when the camera is looking through the glass.

Never attempt to clean the glass whilst it is mounted in the prompter instead remove it carefully from the prompter, clean the glass and then re-install it into the prompter frame. Handle the glass carefully using the cloth covered edges of the glass at all times.

To retain the required qualities of the glass and to avoid scratching the glass during cleaning.

• Never use abrasive cloths, pads or abrasive based cleaning fluids on the glass.
• Never use cleaning fluids based on an acid or vinegar solution.

Place the glass on a soft, stable, dirt and lint free work surface such as a table with a clean cloth already laid out on it. Then use a second clean, lint free, soft cloth to clean the glass.

Do not apply cleaning fluids to the glass directly, instead apply or spray a small amount of the cleaning fluid onto the cloth. Proceed to clean the glass and work in a light

Line Height: Sets the spacing between lines when scrolling, values below 1 may result in text overlapping.

Font colour: Sets the default font colour (this can be overridden on a per script basis using the editor).

Background colour: Sets the background colour.

Orientation: Select if your device will be 'Landscape' or 'Portrait'.

Mirrored Display: Set to 'Off' if reading the text directly from the device, set to 'On' if reading the text via a mirror.

Loop: Set to 'On' to continually loop the script when finished (only valid when playlists are not in use).

Scrolling speed: Set the speed the text will start to scroll at, this can be adjusted via the hardware or network remote control.

Cue marker: Optionally select a cue marker to define the line of text the talent should read.

Cue Background: Set the cue marker background colour (only valid when using plain or combined cue markers).

External Display: When disabled any second display connected via HDMI or wireless will mirror the main display, when enabled text will only scroll on the second display, the main display can be used to create and edit scripts as well as control the text.

Border: Used to add a border around the scrolling text, this is useful if the text is too close to the edge of your monitor and or beam-splitter glass.

Timer: Display a timer showing the time the text has been scrolling on screen, the timer will reset when a new script is loaded and pause when the script is paused.

Auto start: When set to 'On' the script will start scrolling automatically, when set to 'Off' the script must be started using the on-screen menu, hardware or network remote control.

Start delay: Optionally set a delay (in seconds) between the start command being issued and text starting to scroll (work with manual start and auto start).

Screenshot Enabled: Enables or disabled the screenshots used for remote monitoring via the web interface.

Screenshot Delay (ms): The time in milliseconds a screenshot is taken and send to the network web interface for remote monitoring, a lower value will result in less delay but higher CPU and network usage. Lower values will require faster hardware.

Break marker: You can also set up text characters like *# that indicate a break in the scrolled text called break markers. These markers can then be used to quickly jump forward or backward between points in the text, when using the hardware or network remote control, should the running order of the production change.

Remote control: The optional Datavideo WR-500 controller can be used to control the script, please select either Bluetooth or wired mode.

Webui Access: All optionally features are already unlocked on the TP-800.

Enable Hotkeys: Allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to the control buttons. This option can only be configured via the web interface.

Network

If your device is connected to a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network you can fully control the app over the network, simply enter the webui address into the web browser of another device on the same network.

You can see an example of the remote-control interface below.

Synchronizing Multiple Devices

Via HDMI

The TP-800 features HDMI input and output ports, multiple TP-800 units can be connected in a daisy chain by connecting the HDMI output of one TP-800 to the HDMI input of another. The HDMI output port is located next to the Ethernet port.

To use the HDMI input:

1. Connect the supplied USB mouse
2. Right click to close the dvPrompter Plus application
3. Left click the 'HDMI IN' application

HDMI IN

1. To exit the 'HDMI IN' application, right click the mouse

Please Note: The scrolling refresh rate will be reduced when driving external displays via HDMI, you may notice a slight jitter when scrolling at higher speeds.

Via Ethernet

The feature allows you to synchronize the scrolling text on two or more TP-800s via an Ethernet network.

Requirements

• All devices must be identical for synchronization to work (devices with identical screen heights may work but this cannot be guaranteed).
• Slave devices will place additional load on the master device, the number of slave devices that can be connected is dependent on the performance of the master device.
• All slave devices must be connected to the same local network as the master device.

Setup Instructions

1. The master and slave devices must all have unique IP addresses on the same network. We would recommend connecting all TP-800s to a DHCP network/router so that all devices are assigned a unique IP address automatically. Please see page 12 for instructions on switching the TP-800 into DHCP mode.
2. Obtain the IP address of the master device by navigating to the network menu.
3. Open the settings menu on the slave device, enable slave mode and enter the IP address of the master.

1. Tap home on the menu bar, you will see the screen below while the slave establishes a connection to the master.

1. Once connected the screen will turn white then black, the slave will now mirror the master.
2. To exit slave mode tap the screen then press the blue exit button, the app will close.

Pure black background with a small blue square in the top-left corner (no text or symbols)

Connecting an External Display

You can connect an external display using the HDMI output on the TP-800. The HDMI output port is located next to the Ethernet port.

External Display Setting Disabled (Recommended if using webUI control)

In this mode the external display will mirror the devices screen.

External Display Setting Enabled (Recommended if using USB keyboard and mouse)

In this mode the text will only scroll on the external display leaving the device screen free for script control and editing. The script control options can be accessed via the menu bar as seen below.

External Display Rotation

By default, the internal LCD screen rotation angle is set to 180 degrees and the external HDMI output is set to 0 degrees. This is the correct configuration for connecting multiple TP-800 units via HDM, however if using the HDMI output to connect to an external display you should set the external rotation angle to 180 degrees also.

To change this setting:

1. Connect the supplied USB mouse and right click to close the dvPrompter Plus app
2. Click the 'Settings' app by clicking it once

1. Click 'Display' and change the setting shown below
