Remote Robotic Teleprompter RRT | Neil Tanner Inc 415 622 8338 http://ift.tt/2i5IBqY Remote Robotic Teleprompter (RRT). We created this device because the standard presidential teleprompter could only be set for one speaker's height. If a speaker followed them who was shorter or taller, the options were to have a stagehand adjust the stand and disrupt the flow of a live show, or to have the speaker stand on a box, or alternatively, stoop down. Either way, it called attention to the speaker's height, and away from the presentation itself. We needed a solution and designed the RRT to be remotely height adjustable. Neil's version 1.0 used screw gears repurposed from satellite dish control arms, which were painfully slow, noisy, and jerky. Luckily, Neil's brother Thom is a robotics engineer, and redesigned the RRT. There was one system out there already, but it was prohibitively expensive and also required computers to control the robotic teleprompter system. Instead, we chose to make ours foolproof and controlled by a knob from where the operator sits. This allows for the precise timing of the remote adjustments to coincide with applause or some other distraction. While the glass moving robotically is somewhat magical, we don't want it to steal the show. Just as important as making this foolproof, we built it to be universal. We built it for the teleprompter owner-operators that may already have a substantial investment in their regular speech teleprompter software or hardware systems. Version 2.0 of the RRT, shown here, has been tested, rented, and flown across the globe. It has delighted clients such as Chevron, LucasFilm (ILM), the University of California, the California Democratic Party and many more. Further information about presidential teleprompters is available here http://ift.tt/1xxV5FI... We're currently creating version 3.0 to be for sale and rent in early 2014. It will allow for 24" of vertical travel and come to rest at a flat tabled position out of a camera's view. Patent pending. Contact us today
