Overview
SL NEO TelePrompter is a professional broadcast teleprompter platform for newsrooms, live studios, talk shows, and other presenter-driven production workflows. It provides smooth, frame-accurate script scrolling with flexible presenter and operator control for reliable on-air prompting.
The platform integrates with newsroom systems through NRCS/MOS workflows, allowing scripts and rundown changes to be synchronized with the teleprompter in real time. Updated stories can become immediately available to presenters without manually rebuilding prompting sessions.
Operators can control scrolling speed and navigation through the desktop or web interface, keyboard shortcuts, and supported hardware controllers. Rich-text formatting, configurable display options, and multiple presenter views allow the prompting environment to be adapted to different studio and production requirements.
SL NEO TelePrompter supports multilingual Unicode text and right-to-left languages, making it suitable for international and multilingual broadcast environments.
As part of the SL NEO Media Platform, TelePrompter integrates with SkyLark Newsroom, Studio A/B Player, and other studio production tools to provide a synchronized workflow from script preparation to live presentation.

▸ Scripts arrive directly from the newsroom system
▸ Items are linked to the rundown and studio playout
▸ Operators control speed and position in real time
▸ Presenters always see the correct text at the right moment
▸ Direct work with text files is also available
During live production, scripts can be edited, reordered, or replaced without interrupting the broadcast.
Through the SL NEO MOS Gateway, Teleprompter becomes a native newsroom device:
▸ Script synchronization from NRCS
▸ Rundown-driven prompting
▸ Real-time script updates
▸ Status feedback to newsroom
▸ Coordinated operation with Studio A/B Player
Tested and fully operational with Octopus Newsroom and Arion S-News.
The Prompter application supports operation using the X-Keys XK-12 Jog & Shuttle hardware controller.
Integrated Ecosystem
SL NEO TelePrompter is fully integrated into the SL NEO Media Platform — a modular, software-defined environment where newsroom, studio playout, ingest, and prompting modules work together in real time.
Additional modules — including SkyLark Newsroom, Studio A/B Player, Capture & Ingest, and the SL NEO Base Module — can be combined to build synchronized newsroom and live studio production workflows.
