Budweiser Events Center uses JVC Professional Video for a variety of venue video applications
By Jamie G
The Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colorado is known for being home to AHL’s Colorado Eagles hockey team and for being a prime event space for rodeos, monster truck shows, arena motocross, concerts and state basketball games. During the pandemic, the Budweiser Events Center had to find a new way to produce content. After being familiar with JVC Professional Video’s GY-HM850 camcorders they decided to use the KY-PZ100 PTZ cameras along side with the RM-LP100U Remote PTZ Camera Controller.
“We didn’t have a camera that could produce quality footage all the way from the rafters, so we decided to mount a JVC KY-PZ100 PTZ up there, since the team had such a good experience with the brand. We were so impressed with that camera, we decided to replace all our old PTZs throughout the arena.”
Dillon Dannettell, Technical Services Manager at the Budweiser Events Center.
The several KY-PZ100’s are distributed throughout the production space. Two are used as coach cams for the team, another is for game film and one additional camera is mounted at center-ice. On the production side, there are five more KY-PZ100’s located in various positions around the arena to catch every angle. For additional wide and tight game shots, the Budweiser Events Center also utilizes four GY-HM850 camcorders.
“The JVC PTZ system allows us to have all our camera shots saved as presets, in addition to storing multiple positions in a preset group, which is really beneficial for the range of events we deploy in the space. We have position groups set up for specific events. So, when we have basketball, rodeos, or other events, we don’t have to override the previous job ― we can recall the different presets. For example, position group one is hockey, group two is basketball, group three is rodeo, and so on.”
Dillon Dannettell, Technical Services Manager at the Budweiser Events Center.
The Budweiser Events Center has been able to produce high quality broadcasts because of their JVC camera setup. Not only are they able to create their quality content for AHL’s streaming platform, AHLTV, but also its own board shows.
