Through-the-Lens Teleprompter
The industry-standard on-camera teleprompter for direct-to-lens reads.
Through-the-Lens Teleprompter
The classic through-the-glass teleprompter is the most widely used setup in film and television production. A one-way mirror is mounted directly in front of the camera lens, reflecting your script from an HD monitor below. Your talent reads the text while looking straight into the lens, creating natural, direct eye contact with the viewer.
This setup can be camera-mounted (the camera wears the teleprompter) or placed on an independent stand with the lens nosed into the glass. Either way, the result is the same: confident, polished delivery that saves you takes, time, and money on set.
LA Teleprompter has provided through-the-lens systems for commercials, episodic television, corporate videos, PSAs, and social media content shoots across Los Angeles and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the teleprompter be visible on camera?
No. The beam-splitter mirror is designed to be invisible to the camera lens. The viewer will only see your talent looking directly into the camera — not the glass or the text.
Q: Can the talent control the scroll speed?
Our specialist controls the scroll speed in real time, matching the talent’s natural pace. This is far more reliable than self-prompting apps and allows the talent to focus entirely on their delivery.
Q: What size monitor should I choose?
For most studio and indoor shoots, the 15-inch monitor works well. For outdoor shoots or situations where the talent is farther from the lens, the 19-inch monitor with a High Bright display is recommended.
Q: Can you handle multi-camera setups?
Yes. We can provide additional teleprompter systems and operators for multi-camera productions. Let us know your setup during your initial consultation.
