After the global success of the SMV range, a stage monitor designed to look just like an audio monitor, APT-GB (>teleprompter.video) proudly presents the SMV2 range, moving the product forward into a new era of video and stage product.
SMV224 now offers a 23.8 inch full HD rugged screen with a wide viewing angle, giving the artist more flexibility to move around on stage. With a clear high brightness and high contrast video output making it even easier to read. SMV224 also has a little brother, launching on the same date with all the same features but in a smaller footprint, using a 12 inch screen. Useful for occasions where only smaller, more discrete applications will do such as houses of worship and conferences.

This new range has the existing features from SMV:
- the full 1080P screen
- HDMI and SDI input
- SDI loop out
- powerCON TRUE1 TOP input and outputs
- working voltage of 90V to 260V AC 50/60Hz (allowing for global touring)
We have now added:
- full integration of NDI input and output
- onboard conversion of SDI and HDMI to NDI
- NDI to SDI conversion.
- 2 port 1Gbps ethernet switch using the new Neutrik Halo etherCON connectors (allowing input and link through on ethernet)
- ruggedised screens
- high brightness and contrast with wide viewing angle (giving the artist more flexibility in their movements on stage)
- sleeker, aesthetically pleasing design
- more durable construction
We have successfully managed to create a product that encompasses the most common and newest formats of video NDI, SDI and HDMI with input and output conversion all in one platform, making it a much more accessible technology.
All of the new features above have been added with the touring engineer in mind and are a perfect addition for touring and television production companies.
Our existing range is currently being used with major touring companies across the world with bands such as UB40 and many more. The new SMV2 range offers an easy to use plug and play stage teleprompter package where the audience won’t know the artist is bring prompted due to the sleek audio monitor style design.
