Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the TP-900 starts with mounting the unit to a stable, tripod-based platform capable of supporting the 10.3 kg weight. Secure your PTZ camera using the adjustable mounting brackets, ensuring the lens aligns correctly with the glass.
For software setup, connect the device to your network via the Ethernet port to access the `dvPrompter Plus` interface through a modern web browser. If you prefer manual control, connect optional accessories such as the WR-500 remote or FS-30 foot pedal. To maintain the equipment, use a microfiber cloth to clean the teleprompter glass gently to avoid scratches, and ensure the ventilation remains unobstructed during extended broadcast sessions. Regularly update the unit firmware through the web interface to ensure compatibility with the latest script and slide formats.
