Studio camera with Autocue teleprompter

Autocue is a UK-based manufacturer of teleprompter systems. The company was founded in 1955[1] and licensed its first on-camera teleprompter, based on a patent by Jess Oppenheimer, in 1962. Its products are used by journalists, presenters, politicians and video production staff in almost every country in the world. In Dutch, "autocue" became a genericized trademark as there is no Dutch word for teleprompter.[2][3]
