Cogent, an event production company, crafts memorable experiences for its clients through thoughtful production design. Whether working on corporate shows or major association events held by organizations like the National Kidney Foundation, the American Farm Bureau Federation, or the National Association of Independent Schools, its experienced team combines creativity with the latest technology to deliver top-of-the-line audiovisual (AV) services. Cogent senior video engineer Mark Beazley and his team recently developed an innovative workflow that allows clients to record sessions and panels for live and future consumption. This dedicated workflow features AJA HELO Plus H.264 recording, encoding, and streaming devices at the heart of its design.
Whatever the project, Cogent goes the extra mile to support its clients, providing full-service production support and deploying a qualified team to every event to ensure the best possible service. Its custom workflows are designed to meet the unique needs of each client. Sometimes, the team might capture and record event sessions, while other times, they might facilitate live streams. Lately, Cogent has seen increased demand for support on hybrid events and clients looking to capture the content for hundreds of breakout sessions. This is where the HELO Plus has been a valuable workflow addition. Most recently, the team leveraged it to record more than a hundred sessions over the course of a five-day conference held by the National Kidney Foundation.
