00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.359
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

2
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.759
MANW four c Y Radio. Here at the NAB show

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.919
at the Las Vegas Convention Center. And I'm at one

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.160
of the coolest boosts here with one of the coolest

5
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.519
vendors that's going to tell us about this new technology

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.079
that is great for live events and many other things.

7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.920
He knows a lot more than I do. I don't

8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.600
really know much about it, but so let's welcome Daniel

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:36.799
for Buvino. Did I pronounce it right? It's see and

10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.119
that makes more sense.

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.439
Yeah, no problem happens. You know.

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.000
That's why when I do interviews with bands, I have

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.280
them tell me their band name so I don't screw

14
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:48.640
it up.

15
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:50.920
That makes sense.

16
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.960
So how first of all, give us a little brief

17
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.359
of what this does, like the elevator pitch of what

18
00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:58.960
it does.

19
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.760
Yeah, we connect fans at live events or broadcasts directly

20
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.879
with a broadcast engineer who can pull in photos, videos,

21
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.200
live cameras from cell phones and you know, really make

22
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
it more of an intimate experience for the concert go

23
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.239
or the you know, you know, the MLB fan and

24
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.120
whoever's in a live venue experience can be more part.

25
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.599
Of the event. Than just attending the event.

26
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.680
Now that's pretty cool and with their phone.

27
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.480
Like yes, So everything we do, it's doesn't require any

28
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.480
kind of integration or anything downloadable. Fans can scan a

29
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.400
QR code and instantly be live up on a video

30
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.359
boarder on it, you know, a worldwide broadcast, or they

31
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.760
can smit their photos and videos and it's to be

32
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:43.000
geolocation our events.

33
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.079
So it's a really private situation.

34
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.359
Where only you are going to be a part of

35
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.400
that event, if you're within that geo fence, and then

36
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.879
we could take your content put in the show, you know,

37
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.840
maybe do some fun stuff with AI on it.

38
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.200
You know, really really get in and make it a

39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.000
memorable experience.

40
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.840
So like I'm the person in the in the audience,

41
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.159
what do I do and what are my options?

42
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.520
Well, it all depends on what the uh, what the

43
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.080
event holder wants to do.

44
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:17.560
We have.

45
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.120
Everything we do is geared to be a entertainment element

46
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.280
that fans really want to be a part of. Like

47
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.280
like I said, live cams, we're doing a social wall,

48
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.879
social experience. We do live polling, that kind of stuff,

49
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.719
can play fans off each other, you know, ask questions,

50
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.479
get that live instant feedback from the fans, the concert goers,

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.280
and now we just launched a light show where you

52
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.759
know you're at a concert scanning QR, we take over

53
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.919
the light on your phone and sync it to music.

54
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.120
A DJ can take it live and really make the

55
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.520
whole experience more memorable.

56
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.960
Well, let's just think of like some of the festivals

57
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.960
I go to the band, so they'll be like, okay, everybody,

58
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.080
it used to be your lighters, but now it's like

59
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.479
like everybody raise up your phones. So like everybody there

60
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.280
that's hooked into you, they don't even have to rate

61
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.840
get the light on. You can control it.

62
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:09.639
Yeah, exactly.

63
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.680
So imagine going to a venue and there's seventy thousand

64
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.280
people there. You have scanned the code or you click

65
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.319
the link and it took you to that that venues

66
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.319
light show. They have full control of playing back music,

67
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.080
playing you know, hitting a button and every single one

68
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.639
of those connected users are gonna flash and sync with

69
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:29.759
what's going on in the show.

70
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.000
That's pretty cool.

71
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.400
Yeah, it's it's been fun. It's really you know, it's

72
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.439
you really get awestruck when you see it in person.

73
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:36.719
So so.

74
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.199
As a somebody painting on the live event, why do

75
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:44.319
I want this so.

76
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.360
Not only to elevate the experience for the person going

77
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.840
to the event, right, you know, you you want to

78
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.479
create these experiences to draw people to your show or

79
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.159
your event, but also you know there's there's a monetization

80
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.039
aspect to it where you know, sponsors pay the bills.

81
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.960
So every single thing we do is to be a

82
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.240
sponsorble asset for our clients to go out market sell.

83
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.000
But you know, we have the users who want to

84
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.240
be a part of it, so it's not like we're

85
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.400
forcing anything on them. They can opt in and you

86
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.639
know everyone's happy.

87
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.959
So now I'm a sponsor, why do I want to

88
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:18.639
sponsor it?

89
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.879
I mean, if you look at the scan numbers, right,

90
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.560
we're living in a world where people want to be

91
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.839
you know, we're living in like an influencer eraror right now.

92
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.079
People want to be seen and what we do is

93
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.399
very popular. We have the metrics to scan rates. You know,

94
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.879
we have people that are coming on and they're putting

95
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.199
their phones in their cupholders entire games wanting to get

96
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.480
on the board. Right, So instead of just having your

97
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.560
logo on one screen for maybe five six seconds as

98
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.199
a sponsor and you're paying that much money. Now you

99
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.759
have people sitting there with forty fifty thousand screens. They're

100
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.040
waiting to go live, and they're seeing your logo there,

101
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.439
and we have the metrics saying they're staying on for

102
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.959
five plus minutes. A majority of those fans waiting to

103
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.480
go live in while they're waiting to go live, they're

104
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.000
seeing your a they could click your ad, take it,

105
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.160
take them to your website. And you know, there's no

106
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.160
integration involved in this on the fan end, so they

107
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.800
don't have to download anything they don't you know, and

108
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.879
on on the operator side, it's just logging into an

109
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.199
account that's greater for them.

110
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.079
So when these fans are at these events, where do

111
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.720
they find QR code?

112
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.160
So majority of these venues now have you know, huge

113
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.839
big screens. They're all getting bigger and bigger, right you know.

114
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.879
Now you have places like so Far, you have places

115
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.279
like the they have these huge video boards all over.

116
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.639
So you if you put a QR quote up or

117
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.399
you know, you can push notify through apps and stuff

118
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:40.920
like that as well. And as long as they can

119
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.360
get our evergreen links because we geofence a our events.

120
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.920
Like I said, if you're in the vicinity of one

121
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.480
of our events and you can take part in it.

122
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.519
You will be able to pair up with our system

123
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.360
and go live nice.

124
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.000
So now let's step back, what like, what were you

125
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.079
thinking when this came to you?

126
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.399
Just you know, technology at the time was changing rapidly

127
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.199
and you know five G allowed a lot, you know,

128
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.000
data connection really sped up, and you know, just everyone

129
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.319
if you go to an event, everyone's on their phone anyways,

130
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.279
Why aren't you trying to utilize that to your benefit?

131
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.800
And you know, create something that's never been done before

132
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.439
like this, right, make it more OLLV your entertainment value.

133
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.079
So well, and you just gave me an idea because

134
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.959
I was thinking about, like more and more performers are

135
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.360
getting upset that people were on their phones instead of

136
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.959
experiencing the show. And I think this was the solution

137
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.839
because they're not gonna want to be on their phone,

138
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.519
because they're gonna want to be paying attention to being

139
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.800
engaged in part of the whole event.

140
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.639
Oh exactly. And you could play the crowd off that too.

141
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.399
You can make them part of the show. You can

142
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.439
reference them on the board while you're performing. You could

143
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.279
take questions through a simple QR code and put up

144
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.399
on a screen for that person to respond to you

145
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.000
live right, something you kind of do before if you're

146
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.279
just a concert goer right right.

147
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.000
In an audience. So now you can be more part

148
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.360
of the event in the live action.

149
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.240
So nice. Are there any other features or types of

150
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.319
things we should know that would inform not just the

151
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.680
fans out there that may engage in this, but people

152
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.639
that may want to use this at their live events.

153
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.959
No, we're always adding, you know, different products, you know,

154
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.800
throughout time and things are changing with AI. So we've

155
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.160
integrated some AI functionality into our like our social or

156
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.319
where you know, some teams some events have the nights,

157
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.560
right maybe it's maybe it's like Disney Night. You want

158
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.800
to convert someone to look like a prince, right, It's

159
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.360
all available now, So we've integrated a little bit of

160
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.360
that into our product.

161
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.000
Oh yeah, and I want to talk about that because

162
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:58.240
you showed me that, and that's pretty amazing. Like, you know,

163
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.279
there's people I live in Florida, people go to Disney,

164
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:06.680
they stand online forever to take pictures with these characters.

165
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.199
Yet it just came up in two seconds.

166
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.279
Yeah, I mean, like one of our clients last week, you.

167
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.600
Had a concert series night and it was classic rock

168
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.399
and they had a classic rock band that played at

169
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.399
the half right, and in the meantime they were running

170
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.360
our socials, so we had all these photos, so we

171
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.600
instantly just plugged in and said make them look like

172
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.319
classic seventy rock stars, and they played it back as

173
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.559
its own element and people were laughing in the crowd

174
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.240
because we had babies that would looked like drummers in

175
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.759
front of huge crowds right like from the seventies.

176
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.279
So that was nicely, really fun experience with them.

177
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.519
And then you were also telling me, like, you know,

178
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.600
a lot of sporting events they have theme nights, so

179
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.600
they can apply something in this for their theme night.

180
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:49.639
Yeah, exactly.

181
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.519
So it's just another tool that they get access to,

182
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.000
and it just makes it that much more of a

183
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.440
tailored experience for the user.

184
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.759
Yeah, Like I saw one showed me where the little

185
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:08.200
girl turned into Barbie, and I'm just thinking, man, any

186
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.639
kid that saw that up on the screen, that just

187
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.120
made their lifetime. It's that memory will be there forever.

188
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:15.639
Yeah.

189
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.320
You know, we also all the stuff that's approved, you know,

190
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.360
it's all family friendly, has to be approved to be

191
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.759
shown also comes back into our own kind of social feed,

192
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.200
intro web social feed we call it, where fans off

193
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.000
the bork and scroll through to see what people have

194
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.279
submitted that's been approved.

195
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.000
That's the show on the board.

196
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.000
They can like it, they can show the likes on

197
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.799
the board too, and then on the back end of

198
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.559
that as well, the teams or the venues can push

199
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.679
in their own ads into that feed and they get

200
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.279
one hundred percent of that revenue.

201
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.440
Nice. And you know, I'm glad you brought up about

202
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.519
you know that you moderate it because some people might

203
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.080
have been worried about that. So what are the tools

204
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.120
for moderating it so it's approved before it just so.

205
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.240
An operator will run it, you know, they'll they'll see

206
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.320
the content coming in and we get like several thousand

207
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.120
images and sales.

208
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.039
And videos at a time at these events.

209
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.639
So no, unfortunately, not everyone can make it up right

210
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.759
now because there's limited time for these things. But you know,

211
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.159
we make sure since your sponsors attached that everything's clean,

212
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:17.919
family friendly.

213
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.480
You know that's what you want as an event anyways.

214
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:26.159
Right, But yeah, so there's always a gatekeeper kind of

215
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.159
going through that content and then you know, if you're

216
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.039
lucky to make the ward.

217
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.080
You can see yourself up there, so nice.

218
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.960
How do people reach out to you? Connect on socials,

219

oars in the bass. So we're excited to be part

of hopefully memorable experience.

229
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.799
