Overview
When using the Ikan’s P2P Interview System, the interviewer and the interviewee are able to look directly into the camera lens while still seeing and
looking directly at an image of each other. This equates to a natural one-on-one interview style which is also, because of the direct eye contact, much more
involving for the audience. When the interviewer asks a question, he or she is looking right into the eyes of the viewer. When the interviewee answers the
question, he or she is also looking directly into the eyes of the audience and in essence giving his or her answers to them. No longer is the audience sitting
off to the side and observing the interview; they become a part of the interview.
Step 1
Attach the two 15mm rod monitor adapters to back of the monitor’s VESA
mounts with the 4 screws using the smaller hex key.
Step 2
Using the larger hex key loosen the rod clamps.
Step 3
On the teleprompter base loosen the top 4 screws holding the rods in place.
Step 4

P2P Interview/Interviewee Setup
Step 9
Attach the magnetic teleprompter hood with boot.
Step 10
Slide the dual sided riser into the directional channel of the teleprompter
base. Larger or taller cameras should insert the lower side facing glass,
while smaller cameras should insert with higher side.
After both teleprompters have been setup and placed on tripods/pedestals, using one of the HDMI cables connect it to the camera on teleprompter 1
(interviewer) to the HDMI input port of monitor on teleprompter 2 (interviewee). Using the other HDMI cable connect it to the camera of teleprompter 2
(interviewee) to the HDMI input port of monitor on teleprompter 1 (interviewer).
