BCE Enriches 'The Dancefloor
Sound' For Fun Radio
BCE has integrated a StudioTalk visual radio solution in an upgrade for top music
station Fun Radio' new studio...

F

un Radio has been broadcasting
from its new studio located at
Neuilly Sur Seine since December, and
BCE is proud to have been selected
for the integration of a visual radio
solution (StudioTalk) as well as the
studio equipment installation.
"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," explains Michel
Nougue, Directeur de la Marque et de
l'Autopromotion, Groupe M6.
Convergence Solution
BCE's visual radio solution ensures
the convergence between radio and TV
with a multiplatform distribution, while
equipping the client with a production
system and a broadcast solution.
Through an intuitive graphical
interface, Fun Radio studio has
been perfectly integrated into
the solution and allows, via touch
controls, to manage the realisation
of the programme, the cameras,
microphones, sets and secondary
events. Fun Radio may also choose
to switch to automatic mode with
a production which follows the
interactions and automatically switch
the cameras.
"StudioTalk meets Fun Radio's
ambitious expectations. The excellent
cooperation with BCE and the modular

The Fun Radio studio

approach of the solution allowed
Fun Radio teams to understand all
the features of the tool following the
needs of the editorial teams. We will
continue to enrich the features of
StudioTalk which will allow them to go
even further in the layout and staging
of their shows," said Olivier Waty,
Technology and Project Director, BCE.
Visual Radio
The graphics and animations of the
customer have been integrated in
StudioTalk, the station manager can
use them live. This solution of visual
radio also offers a monitoring in
real-time of all the studio equipment
(cameras,
monitors,
servers,
computers, etc.) thus allowing the
customer to identify immediately
possible incidents and change the
production accordingly.

BCE France took care of the studio
system integration by installing the
control rooms and main positions
(speaker table, TCR, DJ, Production...)
as well as the equipment (cameras,
screens, table mixer, computers,
servers, loudspeakers.) BCE France
also carried out the wiring of the
studio and led the different workers to
meet the launch deadline.
Simple Operation
"StudioTalk has the advantage of
being a solution that can be easily
operated by all the users after a short
[time] training, 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 turn of the new studios
of RTL and soon RTL2 to be equipped
with StudioTalk," concluded François
Lavigne, Responsable des Projets
Video du Pôle Radio, RTL, Fun Radio,
RTL2.
In the following months, StudioTalk
will be further enriched with more
graphic design elements and essential
features for Fun Radio, such as the
synchronisation with the radio running
order and the management of video
playlists.
