ScreenPort SDI+ is a hardware capture and monitoring device designed for film and TV production sets. Its core value is adding 3G-SDI video input to an iPad, iPhone, or Mac, turning a mobile device into a professional monitoring and recording terminal. It fits use cases such as run-and-gun video assist, script supervision, and video engineering. The free iOS ScreenPort App is included, so basic monitoring and recording do not depend on QTAKE.
Functionally, it supports SDI video capture up to 1080p60, can record embedded audio or separate analog audio, and can read timecode, clip name, and partial camera/lens metadata from digital cinema cameras including ARRI, Sony, Canon, Panasonic, and RED. Its monitoring toolset is fairly complete, including custom frame lines, 3D LUTs, waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false color, and focus peaking. The hardware has built-in encoding and supports H.264/HEVC at 5Mbps-40Mbps CBR/VBR. The official claim is only 1 frame of latency compared with an SDI monitor.
The professional value of ScreenPort SDI+ is mainly reflected in its connectivity and compatibility with the QTAKE ecosystem. It supports WiβFi, USB-C, and Ethernet, and can be used for low-latency cloud streaming. It is compatible with QTAKE Video Assist, QTAKE Sync, QTAKE Cloud, and QTAKE Monitor, enabling multi-device synchronization, remote access to clips and metadata, and fast syncing of grouped shoot footage back to the main QTAKE system. It is compatible with any SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI signal, but the SDI output is loop-through only; external playback needs to be handled via methods such as AirPlay.
ScreenPort SDI+ is priced at USD 1,399 or EUR 1,339, excluding shipping and VAT; the original ScreenPort SDI is discounted to USD 899 or EUR 859. EU customers are billed in EUR, while other regions are billed in USD. Payment methods include bank transfer, credit card, and Revolut transfer. The company states that units are in stock and ship internationally via FedEx Intl Priority, with shipping costs and customs duties charged separately.
The advantages are that it lets users reuse the high-quality screens of iPad/iPhone devices, is portable, has a comprehensive monitoring toolkit, and fits deeply into QTAKE on-set workflows. The downsides are that it tops out at 1080p60, there is no visible 4K support, advanced collaboration depends on QTAKE, and the overall setup is not cheap. It is better suited to film and TV crews, commercial shoots, documentary run-and-gun teams, and video assist teams already using QTAKE workflows. It is less suitable for individual creators who only need low-cost monitoring.
The source text does not provide information on mainland China network access, distributors, after-sales support, or local payment options, so its availability status in China is unknown. Considering international shipping, customs duties, and after-sales response times, users in China may also want to compare monitoring, capture, or wireless video transmission solutions from Atomos, Blackmagic Design Video Assist, Accsoon, Hollyland, and similar vendors.
