Independent Script Supervisor
One of the most important roles on set of any film or tv production is the Script Supervisor, person responsible for continuity, slating, eyelines and many other tasks, seeking coherence between the shots. Using ScreenPort SDI Pro, supervisors can receive wireless feed from the camera to their personal devices, making them independent of the video village. In addition to audio and video, stream from ScreenPort contains timecode, filename and other metadata, adding valuable info and screenshots to their reports.
Video Village in the Cloud
When paired with an iOS device, ScreenPort SDI Pro turns into unmatched video collaboration tool. Using QTAKE Monitor app, live streaming can be extended to internet, bringing on-set monitoring to remote clients. Additionally, automatic recording and client-side playback provide truly remote video village experience. All captured assets include camera metadata and allow users to add their own clip-based and frame-based notes, collecting all information in the QTAKE Cloud, ready to be pushed to postproduction.
Unscripted Production
Documentaries, interviews and other non-fiction productions now have an amazing tool for live monitoring and instant review, whether used locally or over the internet. With a single iPad, filmmakers can monitor up to 9 cameras at the same time to check the framing, exposure, eyelines or any other aspect of the video production. Using built-in scopes, 3D LUTs and other effects, ScreenPort SDI Pro can replace expensive and heavy equipment and offer the most comprehensive toolset in a most portable way.
Small or No Crew
ScreenPort SDI Pro is a perfect solution for small projects that have no space and no budget for video assist rig and on-set monitors. In standalone mode, ScreenPort device can create Wi-Fi network and stream live camera signal to personal devices. When connected to iOS device it can automatically record all takes with slates and annotations to provide efficient clip browsing for instant playback. Using QTAKE Cloud, recorded clips can be automatically synced with editorial for the fastest possible roundtrip.
