The Challenge
Buckdesign BV is an event stand builder located in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. For many years they have been providing customized top-level exhibition stands to exhibitors for use at major shows. They have increasingly been incorporating AV technology as a way of providing compelling impressions for companies wishing to enhance their branding and company awareness. In response to client requests, they also started investigating options for offering broadcast studio solutions for rental on their own, as well as in conjunction with their installation services. This would allow their customers to deploy their own professional TV broadcast studio for corporate video projects.
The Solution
Buckdesign first deployed the Vislink vPilot system in 2020. Initially, they constructed their own studio within their office facilities in Alkmaar, which they make available to companies wishing to do create productions without investing in a complete studio. In addition, for companies wishing to implement their own studio, Buckdesign provides a turnkey setup from setup of room design to implementation of the technology. They are incorporating the vPilot system in their solution, leveraging the power of AI to control cameras and create compelling viewing over multiple cameras without the need of an onsite director or camera operators. Ease of use has been a hallmark of the vPilot solution. It comes with the vPanel system, an easy-to-use button controller that can be used in real time by the people in front of the camera. This allows onscreen talent to insert images, add graphical overlays and to insert videos when required. 3-D scanners are included with the system that allows the cameras to track people as they move and is compatible with traditional broadcast equipment and can be used with existing webinar systems such as Zoom, Skype and other social media platforms for live streaming.
The Result
For Buckdesign, the vPilot system has proven to be ideal for enabling live and recorded broadcasts, multi-person interviews, roundtable discussions, panel discussions, webinars, corporate communications and other onstage events. In conjunction with vPilot, Buckdesign, can now effectively provide professional broadcast productions at a compelling cost compared to traditional approaches used in multicamera productions.
“The vPilot studio system and the services we offer on top of this platform will enable companies to take their corporate communications to the next level. Webinars, corporate events or TV interviews with executives can now be very professional productions — creating a very favorable brand impression. Previously, organizations wanting to roll out broadcast initiatives needed to organize a camera crew and other resources. With vPilot, they have the ability to do live broadcasts without onsite technical staff. They have the freedom to do broadcasts, webinars and online meetings when they want and at a moment’s notice. Given the flexibility of the system, the return on investment proves to be very quick.”
