The Stafford Air and Space Museum transformed 4 passive looping DVD exhibits into pushbutton interactive displays with solid state media players from BCD. Previously, they had to replace the DVD players every 12 - 18 months. Pushbutton response is fast and there is no maintenance.
These aviation exhibits about Lindbergh, World War I, Airship, and rocket pioneer Robert Goddard have from 4 to 8 buttons/videos each.

Mission Success: Go For Launch, CCA Santa Fe 2009
Go For Launch is a large scale 12
screen interactive video art installation. The artistic recreation of
an Apollo Saturn 1B launch uses authentic archival NASA audio and video
footage to simulate the explosive power and emotion of one of
humanity’s greatest achievements. It is a monument to the success of
the past and a challenge to the present generation.
‘…one of the most stunning and mind-boggling sequences of video I have ever seen.’ Diane Armitage, THE magazine, September 2009
(The fun part for us is that all 12 DVD machines were controlled in sync by a single BCD DVD-16b !) Click Here for more Client Applications.
Hooray for Brian and Gardner!

Black Hills National Forest
 
Black Hills Visitor Center
South Dakota !
The Visitors Center in the Black Hills National Forest
had used laserdiscs for their theatre for several years, and they told
us the same story: Can't get the laserdisc players anymore. Can't get
the discs updated easily. BCD authored their DVD and provided the
controller. Programming was unnecessary because the VC-16b defaults were perfect for the presentation.

3 DVD Players, 1 Controller
Brandspeak Communications (brandspeak.net)
planned their display with 4 plasma monitors, each showing a different
4-minute video, all of them playing and repeating simultaneously. One
solution would have been to use Pioneer DVD-7400 players with a
synchronizer, but the budget was already set and the firm already owned
3 JVC DVD players. Enter BCD.
At BCD, we reviewed Brandspeak's requirements and arrived at the
elegant solution of using one BCD VC-16b controller equipped with 4
infrared emitters. The JVC was not a machine we controlled so they sent
one to us for a day so we could learn its characteristics. We were
somewhat concerned that the little VC-16b would have enough power to
drive 4 IR emitters, but that proved to be a non-issue.

The Port of Los Angeles

The Port of Los Angeles produced a DVD documentary of the history of the old Henry Ford/Badger Avenue Bridge as part of the the Los Angeles Harbor exhibit area. The video was to play only when someone pressed a button, so they selected the BCD VC-16 as the controller.
Producer Jim Holdaway also created an Attract Loop in the form of a Motion Menu using DVD Studio Pro on a Macintosh. The Attract Loop plays continuously until a user presses a button to play the video. The VC-16 sends the Enter command to the DVD player and the video plays.
That's really all there is to say about this project: it's clean and simple. The Port of Los Angeles is using BCD's controller to operate the DVD player.
