Using the Teleprompter Function
Using a standard RTF or plain TXT file, you can use Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle as a
teleprompter. Create your file in TextEdit or WordPad and save as a rich text format or plain text
file in any of the 13 supported languages. Once opened with HyperDeck Shuttle, you can adjust
the font size and line spacing of your script.
To use the teleprompter:
1
Connect HyperDeck Shuttle HD's HDMI out to the HDMI display you want to use. On
HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro disk recorder you can view the teleprompter output via the LCD
display or connecting a display to the SDI or HDMI monitor out connectors on the rear.
2
Select the media containing the script for the teleprompter as your active media. This could
be an SD card, USB flash disk or network location. Scripts can also be saved to the internal
M.2 SSD storage on HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro disk recorders.
3
From the record menu select the codec option. Navigate to 'teleprompter' setting
and press set.
The script will appear on your display. From here you can start playback automatically using
the play button, or for additional control use the dial.
Controlling Teleprompter Playback Speed
The large dial on HyperDeck Shuttle can be used to control playback when using the
teleprompter function much in the same way as it does for media playback. With a script loaded,
press the 'jog' and 'scr' buttons together to turn on variable speed playback. Once selected,
turn the dial. The script will move at a speed relative to the movement of the dial. For example,
the faster the dial is turned, the faster the script will scroll.
