world moves its video routers,
cameras, switchers, and other
components to IP, studio engi-
neers and system integrators
would be wise not to overlook
that ancillary but critical ele-
ment of production, the tele-
prompter. For the first time,
prompting can include built-in
intelligence from software to
hardware, which allows each
individual system to be identi-
fied and controlled by a single
operator from a centralized
location.
At the end of the day, broad-
casters and production studios
want a seamless IP prompt-
ing workflow that combines the
connectivity, flexibility, ease of
use, and reliability required in the
highly competitive environment
in which they operate. Thanks
to breakthroughs in prompting
over IP, such workflows are now
possible. Indeed, the new age
of IP-based prompting systems
promises to have a profound
impact on general studio opera-
tions, as well as on the nature of
prompting itself.
