Elgato Debuts Supersized Prompter XL for Studio Use

Elgato, a CORSAIR® brand, today unveiled Prompter XL, a studio-sized teleprompter for content production. With a 15.6″ display over 2.5 times larger than the original, Prompter XL keeps text readable up to 15 ft (4.6 m). An expanded build supports the large cameras and long lenses that pros actually use, while remaining simple to adjust. It comes with Camera Hub, free teleprompting software for everything from managing scripts to smart voice scrolling. Between shoots, Prompter XL doubles as an extra monitor, perfect for presenting and video conferencing with a proper view.

“We heard it constantly: ‘Love Prompter, but we need something bigger for our studio,’” said Julian Fest, General Manager at Elgato. “Prompter XL takes what creators loved about the original—the versatility, the simple setup, the reliability—and scales it up for studio environments. Teams producing everything from multi-host shows to cooking tutorials are already seeing faster turnarounds and smoother shoots.”

A Display Built for Distance

Prompter XL’s 15.6-inch display—the size of a modern laptop screen—ensures text remains readable even from across the studio. At 600 nits, it’s 50% brighter than the original Prompter, for improved visibility under studio lighting conditions. This means production teams can position talent wherever the shot requires without worrying about script clarity.\

Beyond visibility, the display delivers practical, everyday benefits. A single USB 3.2 cable handles everything, eliminating extra cables and outlet hunting on busy sets. The screen attaches magnetically, making it easy to remove for travel and cleaning, or even mounting on desks. Used as a second monitor, Prompter XL displays windows and apps in beautiful Full HD—now with a handy power button for quick on/off control.

Fits Professional Camera Setups

Prompter XL’s larger, reinforced build supports cameras up to 11 lbs (5 kg), including heavy camcorders and many studio cameras. It works with everything from wide-angle to long zoom lenses, thanks to an oversized bracket and lens port. Adjustable mounting ensures every lens sits perfectly centered in the beamsplitter for natural eye contact.

Prompter XL includes multiple backplates to fit virtually any lens type, creating the dark enclosure needed for teleprompting. When standard backplates won’t fit, users can print their own with 3D files found on Elgato Marketplace. Beyond backplates, Prompter XL features three mounting points—one ⅜” and two ¼” threads—compatible with professional tripods and C-stands. A cold shoe rail adds further versatility, allowing operators to mount accessories like shotgun mics or lights in any configuration.

To help users verify compatibility, Elgato maintains a list of tested cameras and lenses on its website. While not exhaustive, this community resource covers popular models confirmed to work with Prompter XL.

Camera Hub Included

Prompter XL comes with pro teleprompting software, eliminating the need for third-party apps or expensive add-ons. Camera Hub goes beyond essential features like screen mirroring, delivering capabilities other prompting apps lack.

A built-in script manager lets users size, style, and organize text into easy-to-read chapters. With Voice Sync enabled*, Camera Hub automatically adjusts scroll speed to match the speaker’s pace, ensuring natural delivery. Operators can control everything from their computer, or via Stream Deck for one-touch script management.

When set to Display mode, Prompter XL transforms into a second monitor, ideal for both office and remote work. Presenters can view slides and notes while looking right at camera, keeping audiences engaged. The full-sized screen offers ample space for windows and apps—equally valuable for large team meetings and everyday multitasking.

Availability

Customers can order Prompter XL starting today on elgato.com and at authorized retailers in CORSAIR’S global network.

*Requires NVIDIA RTX GPU, Apple Silicon M1 or better

EVE Frontier to Launch on Layer-1 Blockchain Sui

CCP Games, creators of the iconic sci-fi MMO EVE Online, today announced that EVE Frontier, its space survival MMO currently in early development, will be built on Sui, the Layer-1 blockchain originally developed by Mysten Labs. With more than tens of thousands of star systems and countless player-built ships, factories, and infrastructure set to populate EVE Frontier’s cosmos, Sui’s object-centric architecture offers a natural fit for modeling a virtual world of this scale and complexity. Additionally, Sui enables near-instant transaction finality, parallel execution of transactions, and more expressive smart contracts — all essential for bringing more aspects of EVE Frontier’s gameplay on-chain.

This announcement marks a significant step in CCP Games long-standing commitment to creating virtual worlds that are shaped entirely by its players. Building EVE Frontier on Sui represents the next evolution of that vision, marrying CCP Games expertise in large-scale sandbox design with a blockchain built for object ownership, composability, and scalability. This technical and ideological alignment ensures that as EVE Frontier grows, its universe can support deep economic interactions, sophisticated governance, and a truly persistent on-chain record of player history.

“Since inception, our mission has been to create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life. With EVE Frontier, we are pushing that ambition further than ever before: building a player moddable universe, bound by its own digital physics, that can outlive us all,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “As we dug into how Sui is architected, we came across so many familiar concepts, such as how their object-centric approach neatly matches our historic item-centric approach, enabling billions of objects/items, all placed by players, shaping a living universe. For us, Sui offered the unique alignment of architecture, security, and user experience. Together, we’re building a world that can truly stand the test of time.”

CCP Games is designing EVE Frontier to be massively moddable, empowering players and third-party developers to create new objects, structures, and systems called “Smart Assemblies”. This vision demands an environment where player-built content can be deployed safely at scale, without introducing vulnerabilities into the game world. Sui’s robust security model is crucial in allowing the community to build and deploy via Sui tooling in such a way that the compiled code does not compromise the integrity of the universe. In addition to Sui’s powerful combination of speed and scalability, CCP Games will also utilize Mysten Labs’ full stack of decentralized technology solutions, including Walrus, the developer platform for trustworthy data, and Seal, which provides native data access controls. Together, these enable new opportunities for players to leverage information asymmetry and exploit intelligence in their pursuit to thrive in the Frontier.

“Much of Sui’s early design was shaped by the needs of high-performance games with full programmability for players,” said Sam Blackshear, co-founder and CTO of Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui. “EVE Frontier is the first game to leverage all of the novel features that Sui, Walrus, and Seal offer. We’re inspired by CCP Games vision to build a truly player-defined game that outlasts its creators. It’s a perfect match for the technical ambition of Sui.”

EVE Frontier is in the process of porting the current Founder Access build of the game over to Sui. This initial port will also aim to implement many of Sui’s features to enhance the user experience, such as zkLogin for native account abstraction, allowing users to sign in with their email addresses, and sponsored gas fees for users, enabling onboarding without barriers and seamlessly bringing billions of player-driven interactions on-chain.
