Installation

Adjusting the Prompter Assembly Position

The horizontal position of the prompter assembly must be adjusted to 
optimise its position relative to the camera lens.

1.

Loosen the rod clamps on the MT-BLUE mounting plate and move 
the prompter assembly back until the hood overlaps the camera 
lens.

2.

Tighten the rod clamps to secure the assembly in position.

Fitting the Reflective Glass Panel

When the prompter assembly has been installed, the reflective glass 
panel can be fitted to the prompter assembly.

Panel Orientation

For the prompter to display images, it is essential that the reflective side 
of the glass is installed facing outwards. The reflective side of the glass 
can be established as follows:

Carefully hold a blunt 
object such as a coin 
against the surface of the 
glass.

If the object is being held 
against the reflective side, 
there will be no gap (depth 
of the glass) before the 
reflection.

WARNING! Risk of personal injury or injury to others

Care must be taken when handling and installing the 
reflective glass panels. Always store spare glass panels in 
the original packaging.

WARNING! 

Only use the correct size glass panel designed 

for the installed hood.
