I am an Apple guy, iPhone and MacBook Pro user. And I think I have a "theoretical" solution. Haven't tried it personally, but in my head it works! haha
So, on location you are flying a P2V+ using an iPhone for example. The iPhone would be connected to a MacBook via a mirroring program like AirSquirrel Reflector. This will put your iPhone screen on your MacBook display. Now, provided you have internet access on your macbook (which I am still trying to work out in my head how) you would then run TeamViewer or any remote sharing app that lets you connect your MacBook out in the field to another MacBook in the conference room, also running TeamViewer. Now you see your iPhone display in the conference room. And while we are at it, take a Lightning-to-HDMI cable from your MacBook in the conference room to your plasma, projector, or whatever, and now your iPhone screen is on the display of your choice in the conference room.
Now, with all that being said, you'd have to work out the internet connection aspect out in the field. Since your iPhone and MacBook pro will need to be on the Phantom Wifi Network (in order to get Reflector to work) you would have to provide internet some other way. Bluetooth tethering would work, I assume. or even tethering with a cable to another cel phone, or hot spot.
And this solution also does not take in to account rate of transmission, throughput, and network interference, or anything else that would prevent a live stream. And that may just prevent the whole dang thing from working! I don't know, never tried it.
The other possible option is to tether the iPhone directly to the MacBook in the field with a cable, so the MacBook could remain on an internet wifi, like a hot spot, instead of the phantom wifi, which you would need to get AirSquirrel Reflector to work. In this scenario you would not need Reflector, just TeamViewer. But I don't know of an iPhone cable that connects to a MacBook and mirrors the screen. There may be such a thing, but I've never needed one.
It is also time to point out that this would all run much better (better picture) if you were using an iPad Mini or iPad in the field instead of an iPhone.
So, there you have it. Works in theory. Would LOVE to know if it works in an actual real world situation. Let us know if you find a working solution!!! Now my head hurts. I am gonna go fly! |
