Being There Without Being There

Modernize Your Venue with AI-Automated Sports Production

Posted On: May 21, 2019 By : Jason Gewirtz

In today’s world, access to content when and where you want it is proving to be king—and nothing embodies that more than the sports industry. Consumers desire high-quality content in the palm of their hand and for many of their favorite sports teams, that has quickly become regularly available through television subscriptions or streaming services. But, what about video access to their kid’s soccer game or the ability to watch a team, or event, outside of the mainstream media when and how they want?

Thanks to advances in AI-automated production, this level of access is quickly becoming available nationwide.

How does AI-automated video production technology work?

The secret behind automated video technology is its lack of human intervention. Gone are the days of having to pay a production crew to visit your venue to capture and produce content. Automated video production systems install a camera on your field or court designed to capture the entire event in HD. During the live-broadcast, a special algorithm—which takes the place of a camera operator—zooms in, or frames a panoramic view, following the action in real-time. This captured content is then uploaded to the cloud and can be streamed anywhere. The end result is a professional-quality broadcast available for every event you choose to produce at a fraction of the cost.

Why do you need AI-automated production at your venue?

Is It Worth the Investment?

This advanced technology has become affordable, widely available and easy to install.

At the end of the day, if you’re not investing in modernizing your sports facility, then you’re in danger of falling behind the competition.
