From Sidewalk to Sprinter: Street Interviews Made Seamless With ScreenPort SDI

When a client needed to conduct man-on-the-street interviews in New York City and stream the footage live to a Sprinter van parked blocks away, LH Video Services had the answer: ScreenPort SDI.

Instead of relying on traditional wireless systems — which can be tricky when the van’s parking spot is unpredictable — the LH Video Services team used a simple, mobile setup: QTAKE Cloud Streaming, an iPad with T-Mobile cellular, and a ScreenPort SDI.

The iPad, mounted in an iOgrapher holder, took in a wireless video signal via ScreenPort and streamed it directly to a laptop in the van. There, a Pepwave bonded cellular system provided solid internet, and the video was sent to the client monitor with both video and audio. No carts, no stands — just a streamlined setup that worked flawlessly on crowded NYC streets.
