Portal Container
Portal Containers are our iconic structure, built in re-used shipping containers. What once transported cargo, now transports our digital selves.

6800lbs/3538 Kg (includes technology and Container structure)
Security:
Portals lock with multiple padlocks.
Installation Time:
4 hour physical container install; 6-8 hours technical set up (for optimal setup conditions, including testing,, Portal should be on-site at least 48 hours prior to launch)
De-Installation Time:
1-2 hours technical de-installation; 2 hours trucking removal via crane/forklift
Transportation:
Generally transported via rollback or flatbed truck. A video of our standard installation is here, photo and video of custom installation (crane, forklift, casters, etc.) is available upon request.
Shared Studios provides 4 ballistic rubber pads or plywood to protect ground. If the ground or path for truck placement is particularly sensitive, special arrangements can be made with cranes.
Internet Requirements:
At least 5 mbps upload and download (15 recommended); hardwired patch or ethernet cable preferred. Host site is expected to provide unless other arrangements have been made.

Power Draw:

Shared Studios provides an ADA-compliant ramp for wheelchair access.
Cabling:
Portal arrives with 25ft (8m) of extension cable and 25ft (8m) of ethernet cable. Ethernet cabling beyond the above, as well as any necessary power extension cables, should be provided by host site unless otherwise noted.
Additional Notes:

Our standard package does not come with a PA system, amplifier, speakers, boom stands, XLR or ¼” audio input or output, instruments, instrument or vocal microphone, or associated audio equipment.
