    WAYNE, NJ --

    JVC Professional Video, a division of JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation, has announced the PB-CELL200 ProHD Portable Bridge, a robust bonded LTE hotspot that streams signals from multiple ProHD, 4KCAM, and JVC PTZ streaming camera models for live broadcasts or webcasts. JVC will debut its ProHD Portable Bridge at the 2017 NAB Show (Booth C4315), which runs April 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nev.

    Using the same SpeedFusion VPN Bonding technology as the ProHD Wireless Bridge, a car-mounted system JVC introduced last year, the new ProHD Portable Bridge is a self-contained, remote broadcasting hub powered by AC or attached Anton/Bauer battery. Developed by Peplink, a leader in VPN bonding solutions, SpeedFusion combines multiple cellular, wired, and Wi-Fi connections to create an unbreakable backbone for the ProHD Portable Bridge.

    The ProHD Portable Bridge allows live streaming from multiple cameras to HD-SDI decoders or servers at a central location, as well as CDNs like JVCVIDEOCLOUD and Facebook Live. Its dual cellular modems with redundant SIM slots support up to four different cellular providers for bandwidth bonding, data overage protection, or blind spot elimination.

    JVC cameras feature a built-in encoder with Zixi™ error correction and variable bit rate control. The encoded signal is sent to the ProHD Portable Bridge via a Wi-Fi camera transceiver, which plugs directly into the camera’s USB port. The two-way signal allows camera operators to change their locations, and also provides remote camera control and IFB audio on select models.

    Dual-band Wi-Fi provides two independent, high-speed networks that work together (2×2 MIMO) to maximize throughput. The ProHD Portable Bridge also doubles as a secure, high-speed hotspot, so crew members can connect mobile devices to the internet or an enterprise LAN in the field with a secure VPN. Two RJ-45 connectors allow wired LAN connections as well.

    “The ProHD Portable Bridge provides an affordable and reliable option for broadcasters and other organizations that want to provide multi-camera live coverage without the hassle and expense of satellite or microwave trucks,” explained Edgar Shane, general manager of engineering, JVC Professional Video. “It provides reliable and secure uplink back to your broadcast facility or content distribution network.”

    The PB-CELL200 ProHD Portable Bridge has an MSRP of $5,500 and will be available at NAB. JVC also offers economical cellular data packages, as well as its JVCVIDEOCLOUD online video and live streaming platform for small and medium-size enterprises.

    Stadium Signs Director Duncan Winecoff For U.S. Representation

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    Stadium has added director Duncan Winecoff to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Winecoff has directed campaigns for brands such as Porsche, BMW, Canon, Oura, Sephora, New Balance, McDonald’s and Faherty, among others.

    Raised between Nova Scotia and Ojai, Calif., in a family of Tibetan Buddhists, Winecoff has a diverse background which instilled in him a profound sense of authenticity and reflection. His journey to directing began in New York City, where he explored filmmaking alongside his brother, DP and photographer Stuart Winecoff. This collaborative, self-taught foundation has shaped Duncan Winecoff’s approach, blending insight with technical skill.

    Prior to joining Stadium, Winecoff had been repped by Object & Animal. He is an alum of SHOOT’s 2017 New Directors Showcase

    “Duncan’s work reflects the balance we strive for at Stadium--creative that connects on a deeper level while meeting the demands of modern production,” said Samy Mosher, founder and CEO of Stadium. “He’s got the vision, versatility, and a refreshing approach that aligns perfectly with our goals to elevate every project, regardless of scale. He’s the kind of talent that instinctively enhances every script and understands the art of collaboration.”

    Winecoff said, “Stadium is defining what production can mean in an era where audiences demand more connection and substance. I’m excited to be part of a team that values their role as a creative partner as much as I do and is dedicated to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in what the project truly needs.”

    Winecoff has already been awarded multiple projects with Stadium, including a forthcoming global campaign for Callaway Golf.
