LED Board Control by BM was designed with the ambition to easy up the workflow in the world of led advertising boards much simpler and efficient. With more than 10 years of experience in led advertising at sport events, we wanted to create an stable and intuitive tool, that helps all technicians, operators, sport marketing agencies and end customers like clubs and owners to fulfill their needs. If you are interested now, what we came up with, feel free to scroll trough the website or contact us for a nice talk about your project.

What is LED Board Control?

LED Board Control is specifically made to play out your advertising content to your led board systems at live sport events. Due to the process of content production, the LED Board content is produced as a loong video stripe. Normally someone had to remap the content in after effects (or similar software) to fold it into a 16:9 format, so it matches the LED Board mapping. This step can be left out with LED Board Control, because trough its auto wrapping mode it can fold the content live, instead of pre render it (8k / 16k / 32k content wide depends on graphic card).
It can also play additional screens, like fixed stadium LED walls. Live data like shot speed and live video input can also be integrated into your playlist. A report function is available to print out a (digital) report of the played content with timestamps.

Auto Wrapping Mode

Fold your stripe 16k pixel wide led board content live into a standard video output format like 1080p. Do a remap and UV between two board systems and correct them live to be on camera axis again and without render time. Save time and money in preparation and getting a lot of features specifically made for sport marketing workflows.

User friendly UI

At times with more and more board output at the same time, you want an easy to use tool to handle your massive playlist and content folder. Load Playlist.xlxs excel sheets directly into the software and load automatically the correct media files with a simple mapping worksheet. Create Hotkeys and timed events or just loop a playback of each playlist row until you press next for onscreen timed advertising.

Usecase specific tools for optimized workflow

Colorgrade every media file or led board live, create custom overlays to control the brightness of the whole setup or just a tiny part and use them in your custom control area. MIDI or MTC can control your playlist. Use live input from sdi card, ndi or live data to bringt them to your boards and screens. Create a report/log of the playback at the end of the day for the club or your customer. There is a huge feature set already inside and the palette is growing every day.

Download GUI & Render Engine

BM Render Engine

The playout engine is designed and optimized for playing back a huge amount of file formats and live inputs. With 32 tested slots rendered in one engine at the same time, it is well prepared for future use cases.

A Dongle is required for using this software
to stop turning the output green every 5-10 seconds.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the Reporting Feature and how is it working?
    The UI creates an internal list which can be exported as excel sheet with the start and the end time for every slot played. So when a playlist is on hold or played shorter the time between Start and End differs from the rest.
  • I need custom features for project, how long will it take to implement?
    Depends on the feature and payment. The shorter the period to full fill the request, the more expensive it might get. After implementing a requested (payed) feature, it might be available for all users in the next release batch. Exclusive features cannot be handled within the workflow.
  • Can I get a custom layout for my club?
    Yes, we already implemented a skin feature, where customers could load their own styling (Color, Font, Down Logo). You will get a skinname.bmskin file from us and this can be loaded in the option menu and will show up after restarting the software.
  • Is the play out limited to one Laptop/PC?
    NO! Our system is designed to play the content on an unlimited number of servers. The UI is just the control software and doesn't render the files. The render engine can be installed on the same PC as the UI and can be used as standalone playout or the engine will be installed on a specific server and the UI controls it over network. The render engine dongle is limited to one server and not limited by output (multiple outputs are possible on one pc with just one licence)!
  • Can I use the BM Render Engine Dongle with different BM software?       
    There will be more software products in the future, that will use BM Render Engine, and the good news, you can reuse the licence for these products, because we don't want to limit the render engine just to one product!
  • Why not using a Media Server instead of this software for LED Boards?
    Media Servers are good! We love Media servers! But they are also huge products with a large range of features, that we normally don't need for LED advertising boards. Sport marketing also has specific use cases, that are hard to realize with standard media servers (like reporting correctly or importing playlists or handling large stripes of content in an efficient way). Media server software in gerneral is also more pricey in comparison to our product. So we are working hard on creating the best solution for this specific sport advertising playout use case.
  • Can I play media files with integrated audio?
    No you can not! In 10 years of sport marketing we didn't experienced one show, were we would have needed audio. So we decided to not implement it so far. But it is possible to load one .wav file for the whole playlist to have timecode playout for syncing with other devices. You can map just one single audio to one whole playlist and not single clips inside!
