Block ambient light. Get a cleaner read
The PT-SH is a professional shroud hood designed for the Ikan Teleprompters. It attaches directly to the teleprompter's hood frame, extending coverage on all sides to block ambient light from reaching the teleprompter glass - giving talent a clear, reflection-free view of the script in any lighting environment.
Whether you're shooting on a bright set, in a studio with overhead lighting, or outdoors, the PT-SH eliminates distracting reflections so your talent can focus on delivering their best performance.
Full-Surround Light Blocking
The PT-SH uses a combination of side shades, two removable bottom covers, and two rear felt cloths to create a complete light-sealed environment around the teleprompter glass. Unlike standard hoods that only block light from the front and top, the PT-SH addresses the most common sources of unwanted reflections - side spill from studio fixtures and ambient light entering from behind. The result is significantly higher contrast text on the glass, even under harsh or mixed lighting conditions.
Tool-Free Self-Securing Closure Mounting
The PT-SH attaches directly to the existing hood frame using industrial-strength Self-Securing Closure strips - no screws, no brackets, no modifications to your existing teleprompter. The hood slides into place and locks securely via adhesive Self-Securing Closure along the mounting points. Installation takes under 30 seconds, and removal is just as fast, making it practical for crews who need to set up and tear down quickly between shoots.
Cable-Friendly Pass-Through Design
Teleprompter setups require HDMI, power, and control cables running to the monitor - and a shade hood can't block those.
For NDI monitors, the PT-SH solves this with strategically placed pass-through holes aligned with the monitor's I/O ports
For Non-NDI Monitors, the cables can wrap around the felt cloth on the back of the PT-SH
Lightweight & Portable
Built from the same soft canvas and felt materials as the hood, the PT-SH adds negligible weight to the teleprompter assembly. It compresses flat for transport and fits alongside the rest of the system in standard travel cases. No rigid panels or heavy hardware - just effective light control that doesn't slow down your setup.
Professional Integrated Design
The PT-SH is purpose-built for the ecosystem. Material, color, and construction match the existing hood exactly, so the shade looks like a natural extension of the teleprompter rather than an aftermarket add-on. All edges are finished cleanly, and the overall profile maintains the compact, broadcast-ready aesthetic that iKan products are known for.
