For this setup, you will need a quality computer monitor (ideally one that matches the resolution of your main display), an additional laptop, and a decent wireless router.
I’ve found it to be by far the most reliable and flexible solution in my arsenal. Solution #1 - Screen Sharingįor the most critical wireless applications, I like to use use the Mac's built in screen sharing functionality. As a result, I’ve come up with a number of reliable wireless monitoring solutions using equipment I already have on hand and a few specialty items that will cost you a few hundred dolls rather than a few thousand. As a result, there’s almost never room in the budget to shell out hundreds of dollars on a Teradek rental, nor does it make financial sense for most techs to spend thousands to buy their own. While wireless monitoring has become an essential tool in the film industry, it’s still a rarity in the stills world. Whether I’m dealing with a client video village far from set or a fast paced run and gun shoot where bulky cables can quickly become a nuisance, wireless monitor solutions can be a lifesaver.
However, sometimes the constraints of location work can make it impractical or virtually impossible to have a traditional wired secondary monitor set up. A dedicated client monitor can be one of the most helpful tools that any photographer can have on set. Making sure that a photographer and their client can see images in real time is probably the second most important part of my job as a digital tech (after ensuring data integrity).
