BoothDock Station

The booth takes the picture. The station does the rest.

A second device next to the photo booth, currently a Windows PC. Guests start their capture there, browse the event’s pictures, print and share them. Or the station simply shows the latest pictures as a slideshow on a TV. Meanwhile the booth is free for the next guests.

Windows setup in the Hub iPad, iPhone and Mac versions in preparation.

For BoothDock operators. The booth needs BoothDock Studio in its current version.

Three ways to run a station

You decide in the setup what guests can do at the station – per station, changeable at any time.

Operate

Operate + gallery

Guests start the capture at the station, then see their pictures, print and share them.

Gallery

Gallery only

Capturing starts at the booth. The station is the place to view, print and share – without crowding in front of the camera.

Slideshow

Slideshow

The latest pictures full screen, no interaction. Layout, colours and the QR code to the gallery come from the booth’s design.

What guests do at the station

Per booth you choose how much of the flow moves to the station: just start and result, or everything – layout, background and style included.

The station’s gallery with the pictures of the event
  • Start the capture. Optionally with the camera’s live view during the countdown, so guests at the station see what the camera sees.
  • View, print, share. The gallery shows the pictures of the active event. One tap opens a picture large – with printing and the QR code to the online gallery.
  • Print where it fits. On the station’s printer or at the booth – you decide per station.
  • Edit the picture while the booth carries on. With “Edit at the station” switched on, guests give their photo or AI picture a look and stickers there. The booth is long free for the next guests; if no result arrives within five minutes, the original goes to the gallery and delivery.
  • Take a number instead of queueing. With the queue switched on, guests take a number at the station when it gets busy; the booth’s start screen shows whose turn it is.

And for you: every booth at a glance

The station’s console shows every paired booth: camera, printer, paper, pending uploads, free storage, sessions and prints – refreshed every five seconds. From there you lock and release a booth, cancel a session or strike entries from the queue.

The station’s console: all paired booths and the queue
  • Several booths, several stations. One station can serve several booths, and several stations can be attached to one booth.
  • A TV as second screen. A second screen on the station’s computer shows the slideshow while guests keep using the station.
  • Kiosk protection and admin PIN. In guest mode full screen without switching windows; only someone who knows the PIN gets into the setup.
  • On Windows: starts and updates itself. Starts with Windows and restarts after a crash. New versions arrive at night when nobody is using it – only from boothdock.cloud and only signed by Boothdock. Installs without administrator rights.
  • 24 languages. The station follows the device language or stays fixed on one of the 24 languages.

Paired on your own Wi-Fi – no detour through the internet

Booth and station talk to each other directly on the same Wi-Fi. Pairing uses a six-digit code the booth shows for ten minutes. Every station gets its own key – the booth’s password never leaves the booth, and each station can be removed individually at the booth.

Optionally with the Hub: then all booths of an event pair with the station on their own, and the gallery also shows older pictures of the event. For this the station shows a QR code you scan with the Companion app. Stations in the Hub are part of the Pro plan.
