This depends on the size of the audience/stage/set and type of event:

• a single lectern with twin glass Presidential rig can be positioned either centre stage or to one side, dependent on the location of the content screen/s
• a twin lectern, 4 glass Presidential rig, is normally required if there is a double act, i.e. speakers interacting between each other from their own lectern and/or splitting a presentation between each other
• a single screen to one lectern can work, but this can often obstruct the view of the audience and is not recommended if live camera relay to screen is required

In a less structured setting, when presenters choose to move around the stage and enjoy the freedom of not being restricted to speaking from behind a lectern. 

We supply the prompting base station ONLY, consisting of:

• master & slave laptops with Windigi Pro prompting software
• 2 x hand-controls
• D.A splitter/switcher
• mini printer/A4 paper/spare cartridges

This system can also be used in conjunction or additional to the Presidential system, giving increased flexibility in presentation style between lectern & stage.

This depends on the type of event and number/height of the presenters.

  Manual poles: 

• height and angle are manually set at rehearsals by the technician
• an economical option and suitable for use with presenters of a similar height
• by using two lecterns with a twin glass manual system on each, you can negate the need for motorised poles by designating one lectern for taller speakers, therefore reducing hire costs

 Motorised poles: 

• suitable for presenters of varying heights
• presenter-specific heights/angles can be pre-programmed at rehearsals and moved remotely between presenters during the live show by the technician
• can be lowered from view if a presenter is not using autocue, during videos and for safety if live action is taking place on stage

Dependent on size of the shoot, staging, venue and production schedule, we allow approx 30-60 minutes.

Dependent on size of event, staging, venue and production schedule, we allow approx 60-90 minutes.
