Broadcast-Quality Solutions for Enterprise Video
In growing numbers, enterprises are recognizing the important role that video can play in their operations for everything from training employees to communicating with customers and shareholders. Until recently, however, enterprise video projects have been slow to catch on as organizations struggled to overcome cost and technology barriers. With the built-in video capabilities of smartphones and other personal devices getting more sophisticated by the minute, we’re clearly living in a video age.
Bexel ESS has been working on delivering a comprehensive video solution that meets all of its enterprise customers’ requirements. The basic concept is a mobile broadcast facility for everyday enterprise video production that allows enterprises to deliver the same, consistent video quality as a television newscast, but without the complex operation, capital equipment investment, fixed-site equipment, and trained video staff of an in-house studio. This approach places a strong emphasis on simplicity – it should be as simple as possible to light and mic subjects and then record and stream content, without the need for a fixed location taking up precious space.

The result of this development effort is the Creative Studio, a type of “pop-up studio” that can be made available as a rental package or for purchase at a much lower cost than purchasing discrete equipment. Designed for use in a conference room setting, the Creative Studio provides fully integrated HD or 4K video capture and streaming with a PTZ camera. In addition, the solution offers incremental functionality including prompting, recording and monitoring, storage for post-production, or streaming to any number of internal or external distribution sites including Facebook, YouTube, and other social media sites.
Since the Creative Studio does not require a dedicated video staff, it can be set up and operated by anyone in the enterprise; for instance, templated production tools help non-technical users position lights and backdrops to achieve a professional look. And because this solution is compact and mobile, enterprises can deploy it anywhere in a building, on a campus, or around the world.
