AJA technology brings CuePilot coordination and management solutions to life

CuePilot, developer of solutions for planning and executing studio and portable productions with supports such as LED screens, relies on I/O technology from AJA to coordinate large broadcasts such as the Eurovision Song Contest.

When CuePilot First released almost fifteen years ago, it started out as a tool for directors, but quickly became a cross production solution so that, from the LED content team to lighting programmers, stage directors or artists, they could coordinate to create live shows and broadcast broadcasts more complex and attractive. Available as portable solution or how element integrated into daily production from production companies and broadcasters, CuePilot facilitates the planning, editing and subsequent execution of their live multi-camera shows.

On the other hand, designed for studio environments and mobile units, CuePilot production server consists of a Mac Studio, rack-mounted in a three-drive case with a multi-format I/O card AJA Corvid 44 12G BNC, which helps the solution communicate plans visually to the entire production team. Again, Four SDI outputs allow four different CueScreens, each of which allows for a customized view, helping all elements of the plan to be easily communicated throughout the production, whether in the production gallery, backstage, or at each camera position. Corvid 44 12G BNC It also allows CuePilot to read and sync with external timecode, allowing CuePilot to keep time with the rest of the production and control vision switches, sending frame-accurate commands to control camera cuts, macros, keys and more.

Commenting on the use of AJA technology in both solutions, CuePilot specialist Chris Abbott notes: "We are a small team with a large customer base that operates 24 hours a day to serve customers in multiple time zones, so it is important that our technology can be easily deployed and resilient in the field, which made AJA an obvious choice. We also knew that the AJA SDK would make it easier to develop our portable and permanent solutions with the same set of tools. The fact that AJA is also impressive at delivering updates that respond to changes in the field also played a role in "I love that AJA kit built for one generation works in the next, and the SDK is very flexible, meaning our solutions can grow with AJA."
