Your radio goes visual

StudioTalk was chosen mainly for its flexibility, its automatic mode (during the broadcast) and the possibility of being able to interface the system with our current radio playout system. StudioTalk has allowed us to simplify the work of the control room technician: with a single software, it is now possible to manage several items such as lighting or the content on the videowalls. In addition, thanks to the system’s high level of automation, the studio can also be managed by a single operator.

We needed to take a new step with “Forum”, and we were looking for a solution that could offer us all the tools we needed to make television from the same interface. StudioTalk was the answer.

For StudioTalk users, it’s very easy to find all the tools they need to do their production, whether it’s Picture in Picture, enrichment or the management of the screens on the set. The user also has the option to switch to the automatic production mode to perform another task during a broadcast and then regain control in due course.

In StudioTalk, we have access to a technical supervision that usually appears on more expensive systems. This allows us to have an overview of the services and monitor the operations. This will allow a person to perform complex support tasks even for a Level 1 intervention support, restarting one or another system to ensure its availability during live production.

In this project, what was really important for us was the relationship with BCE, we found a real partner with whom we made our show and our tool evolve at the same time.

Studiotalk offers a wide variety of graphic enrichment features that give high-end results. Easily installed, the software allows the configuration of numerous setups both in terms of production and branding. It is easily accessible with or without dedicated resource, in automatic mode and manual mode. So there is a real opportunity to make visual radio in a very qualitative way.

StudioTalk has the advantage of being a solution that can be easily operated by all the users after a short training course, even if they have never used video equipment before. The management of the different functions through a single interface, including the content of the scenery screens, makes it very simple to use. Trust and results leads to new projects; after Fun Radio, it’s the new studios of RTL and soon RTL2’s turn to be equipped with StudioTalk.

The transition to high quality Visual Radio was one of the objectives for the new studios. StudioTalk is a modular solution that can meet the needs for optimized operations with the production automation, but which also allows to meet the needs of television production, thanks to the manual controls, the servers and graphics stations management with high-end cameras.

What is interesting about StudioTalk, is to be able to produce quality programs that meet the requirements and standards of broadcast and professional production, with very light products.
