Dear Fellow Producer,
You can now Drastically Increase Your Profits on every Production!
and
Never, Ever, Ever, Have Your Talent Forget A Script Line Again!
The best Video producers from all around the world gladly pay hundreds
of dollars a day to rent teleprompter systems. And they do it for one very
good reason. They know that, even at $100+ each day, it's still a bargain.
They have learned, from experience, what it's like to have production
costs skyrocket, schedules slipped, and nerves get frazzled as the entire
crew stands around waiting for yet one more retake because the 'talent' is
having trouble remembering or reciting their lines. This is especially true
when dealing with non-professional 'talent'. The talent that needs help
the most, usually gets it the least. And that is the reason so many lesser
funded video productions (which accounts for about 93% of all
productions) appear 'amateur'. Producers who use teleprompters not only
reap the rewards of faster, less problematic productions but they end up
with a much better finished product which translates into
<< more sales and repeat business for You. >>
And now a professional teleprompter system is finally affordable to
everyone! With the help of our VideoPrompter system you too can allow
anybody to effortlessly present your information while looking directly
into the camera lens. Just like the pros, you are assured that the
information you want presented will be stated exactly the way you want
it. The way you scripted it.
<< Now you can produce the absolute best videos possible. >>
Even the best video producers in the world can only do so much with
unsure looking, bumbling talent. So why risk it? Don't waste your
money producing amateur looking videos! They are bad for business,
difficult for your talent, and bad for your reputation as a videographer.
Take advantage of this opportunity to
<< Supercharge your talent with confidence >>
by making them look and feel great while out there in front of the
camera. The secret to great looking, cost effective productions is really
no secret at all. You must generate at least one dynamite looking take for
each of your planned shots.
Great productions start with great shooting, and great shots start with
confident, comfortable looking, smooth speaking talent. The way to save
big money is to get that 'dynamite take' on the 1st or 2nd take every time
- not on the 7th or 8th.
At our prices there is no longer any reason to continue unfairly limiting
yourself by being one of the video producers that doesn't use a
professional prompter system.
VID-Art Productions VideoPrompter package is the world's lowest cost,
full featured, professional prompter system! We bring YOU the kind of
tools that high budget video and film makers have used for years. The
big difference is that our products are for producers who are (by
necessity or choice) on a shoestring budget. But don't let our low price
fool you into thinking this is some sort of scaled down, jerky scrolling,
featureless, teleprompter package. It's not! Just take a look at all of the
professional features listed on the enclosed Features Sheet.
By purchasing the Professional VideoPrompter package you will be
making an investment that will repay itself long before you finish your
very next production. And, of course, you will never have the expense of
renting another teleprompter system again. Let your competition keep
renting. You'll be saving the big $'s while producing the same,
professional looking videos. Who do you think will end up with the most
profits? Friends, do the math for yourself. It's not rocket science, you
can produce those high quality videos for less because it cost you less.
So, here it is in a nutshell. For less than the price of a single
teleprompter rental, you can now OWN your very OWN before-the-lens
VideoPrompter system.
That's right, No more rentals required... You own it, Forever.
Here's My Offer to You... (These prices valid ONLY thru March 1996)

=========================
Just listen to what others have said about this incredible new prompter
system:
"The software is an efficient prompter program, fully documented in the
18 page manual... The tape covers construction of the prompter and
offers tips on the software."
Doug Polk - Videomaker Magazine,
November 1994
"I have seen professional units for hundreds and even thousands of
dollars that will not do any better job than the system that you have
developed"
Robert McConnell, Robert McConnell Productions
"I'm hardly 'Harry Homeowner'. I have two left hands and no patience
however, after viewing your video I was ready to head down to the local
lumber yard, get my plywood cut and get on with constructing our
VideoPrompter! My lens cap is off to you."
Bob Muller, All American Video Productions, Inc.

Frequently Asked Questions about VID-Art Productions
VideoPrompter Pro V2.0 teleprompter software
1. Can I use VideoPrompter Pro without building the prompter box?
Yes, you can. In beside-the-lens mode, you can simply set the monitor
beside the camera lens, run the VideoPrompter software with the script
loaded and shoot your video. All of the remote controlled smooth
scrolling features are operational in both through-the-lens and beside-the-
lens modes.
2. What kind of computer monitor will I need to use when constructing
the VideoPrompter box for using the software in before-the-lens mode?
VideoPrompter works best with a standard 13 or 14 inch VGA, EGA,
CGA or Hercules monochrome monitor, however any monitor that will
fit inside the prompter box will work.
3. Can I use the VideoPromter Pro software with a larger monitor?
Yes, besides using any size computer monitor in beside-the-lens mode,
you can use a VGA to NTSC adapter to display video text on any size
composite video monitor. For instance one customer uses the
VideoPromter Pro software as a teleprompter for his live lectures by
running the computer video signal to two 35 inch TV's on each side of
the room. He refers to them as a prompter while he gives his lectures.
4. Do I need Windows to run the VideoPrompter Pro software?
No, you don't. While you can run VideoPrompter Pro from Windows if
you so desire, it is a DOS based program and does not require Windows
at all.
5. What kind of computer do I need to run VideoPrompter Pro?
VideoPrompter will run on any IBM-AT Compatible system (with a
minimum of 640K bytes of ram) from 286 up to Pentiums. Many people
who are building dedicated prompter systems are opting to purchase used
286 or 386 SX systems from local computer shops (usually for about
$200). Many Mac and business PC users have found that it is actually
less expensive to purchase a used IBM system and our VideoPrompter
Pro software than it is to purchase one of the other prompter software
packages alone. They now enjoy the luxury of a complete stand alone
prompter system for all of their video productions and they never have to
rearrange their main computer system to use it as a teleprompter.
6. How much disk space is required for VideoPrompter Pro?
Not much! You can actually run VideoPrompter Pro directly from
floppy disk since the entire program plus up to 5,000 lines of text run
entirely in RAM during operation. Therefore no hard drive is required.
7. Can I use VideoPrompter Pro with my laptop or notebook computer?
You sure can! Many people use VideoPrompter Pro with their laptop
and notebook computers for a portable teleprompter system. For a larger
monitor, simply plug any VGA monitor into the external VGA port on
your laptop. Another alternative is to use a composite video monitor
with a VGA to NTSC adapter. I & I Electronics makes a small adapter
exclusively for use with notebook and laptop computer systems which
allows you to display your laptop output to any size NTSC composite
video monitor.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
