The Mirror
The best mirrors have an optical-grade beam splitter coating that allows the camera to see through them so flawlessly that even 4K or higher resolution is recorded in all of its glory. These mirrors are made of the kind of pure glass used in telescopes and microscopes. In contrast, low-quality mirrors are made of impure glass and don’t have the advanced coating. They’re not the kind you want if you’re looking for quality footage.
You would think that the more you pay for your prompter, the better the mirror that comes with it will be, and while this is generally true there are, nevertheless, brands that put a focus on quality at almost all prices and offer the better mirrors, even on their mid-level prompters.
The Monitor and Software
The script is transferred to the monitor from a teleprompting software. The script is usually composed in an application like MS Word, imported into the software, and then transferred via a cable connection—such as over a VGA cable—from the computer to the monitor. Monitors commonly offer two or more inputs, including VGA.
The script needs to be displayed reversed on the monitor, so that it’s reflected in the correct orientation on the mirror. The reversal is usually done in the software. Some monitors can perform the reversal without the software, but not most.
The monitor has a dark background and displays a script in a bright color, typically white.
