It’s an LED reading device, and hers was on while Trump’s was off. You can see it come on as she approaches the podium and as she leaves at the end.

Makes one wonder why somebody felt there was a need to turn it off. If it had of been left on, it might have drawn less attention....

The power to the podiums would be turned on as the candidates approached them. This would make the microphones live as well. Then once over they would want to kill the power and mics. This would explain why we see her teleprompter power up and down while Trumps podium didn't have any visible electronics that would be seen powering up and or off.

Hillary did not ask for any podium modifications in any other debate, not that that is evidence of anything, but it gave Hillary's people the opportunity to modify the podium before hand. It is BTW considerably shorter than Donald's.
