Elgato is expanding its product portfolio for professional creators with the new Prompter XL, a 15.6-inch studio-sized teleprompter designed specifically for large-scale production environments. With an improved design, higher brightness and integrated software, it is aimed at content studios, production companies and creators who need maximum flexibility and precision when speaking in front of the camera.
- 15.6-inch display, 2.5 times larger than the original prompter
- 600 nits brightness for clear readability under studio lighting
- Load capacity up to 5 kg – compatible with large cameras and lenses
- Includes Camera Hub software with voice sync, script management and mirror function
Large display, clear view – even from four meters away
The Prompter XL was designed to support studio setups with multiple hosts or large distances between camera and speaker. Its 15.6-inch display – about the size of a modern laptop screen – remains clearly legible even from over four meters away. With 600 nits of brightness, it outperforms the smaller original prompter by 50 percent, which is particularly important in bright studio lighting. This eliminates the need to manually readjust the position, which is often necessary, and production can be organized more freely.
Another plus point is the uncomplicated connection: a single USB 3.2 cable is sufficient for power supply and signal transmission, which greatly simplifies cable management and connection planning. The magnetically attached display unit can be easily removed, cleaned or transported – a practical detail for teams with changing setups. In addition to the teleprompter function, the display can also be used as a secondary Full HD monitor so that presentations, scripts or video conferences remain directly in view.
Built for professional camera rigs
With its sturdy, reinforced construction, the Prompter XL supports cameras weighing up to 5 kilograms, including classic camcorders, full-frame mirrorless models and studio cameras with long lenses. A generously dimensioned lens opening and adjustable brackets ensure precise alignment and natural eye contact with the camera – a detail that is crucial in professional productions.
To adapt to different lenses, Elgato supplies several backplates that form the light-tight interior required for teleprompting. Thanks to freely available 3D models from the Elgato Marketplace, individual adapters can also be printed. Three threaded connections (1 × ⅜ inch, 2 × ¼ inch) enable mounting on tripods or C-stands, while a cold shoe rail allows the use of additional equipment such as directional microphones or LED panels. This versatility makes Prompter XL a reliable component of modern studio configurations.
Intelligent software for smooth presentations
The scope of delivery includes the free Camera Hub software, which goes far beyond basic functions. It offers integrated script management with options for formatting, structuring and adjusting the text size. A particularly innovative feature is the Voice Sync function, which automatically adjusts the scroll speed to the pace of speech – ideal for recordings with changing speakers.
It can be operated both on the computer and via the Stream Deck, where the most important control commands can be called up at the touch of a button. In addition to the teleprompter function, the Prompter XL transforms into a fully-fledged second monitor for office or remote use: presenters can see notes and look directly into the camera at the same time – a significant advantage for professional video conferences, training sessions and live broadcasts.
Conclusion
With the Prompter XL, Elgato brings the convenience and versatility of its popular teleprompter to studio dimensions. The large, bright display, robust design and intelligent software make it a powerful tool for professional content productions, streamers and studios with high standards.
The Elgato Prompter XL is available immediately at a price of 599.99 euros from the Elgato online store and from authorized dealers in the CORSAIR distribution network worldwide.
