What is a Presidential Teleprompter?

Presidential Teleprompters prompters look a bit like twin glass music stands positioned on each side of the speaker. Copy is projected from a screen placed below and out o sight of the audience. The speaker can view the copy as it unfolds seen on both panels to his/her right and left. The view of the audience is unobstructed and while the audience may see the glass panels, they cannot see the copy displayed. Unseen is a professional prompter operator whose job it is to synchronize the moving copy with the confortable pace of speaker.

What are down stage monitors or as they are often called floor monitors or confidence monitors?

These are big video monitors or projection screens positioned in the presenter’s line of sight as he/she addresses the audience.

How dos one decide between using presidential prompters, conference monitors and down stage monitors?

If the speaker uses a lectern, he/she would use presidential teleprompters. If he/she wants to roam about the audience use down stage monitors.
