Spiideo Unveils Major Industry-First Product Updates

AI automated sports video company, Spiideo, has revealed several industry-first technologies, evolving their Spiideo play product with multiple angles, instant replay, a highlights studio, new cameras and updated AI, marking the official transition to Autocast 2.0.

 

 

With these updates Spiideo aims to remove all the friction from the role of camera operator, producer, director and commentator with the support of AI, delivering seamless production capabilities that rival traditional broadcast.

 

These new features will markedly improve the visual and editorial broadcasting quality, enabling users to capture the dynamics of each match better bringing spectators closer to the action.

 

 

Multi-Angle Production

Powered by Spiideo’s flexible range of AI cameras, multi-angle autocasting takes advantage of Spiideo’s Autofollow to track any game moment from the perspective of multiple, well trained manual operators. This will provide teams with a cost-effective option to broadcast fixtures at any level. For example, Spiideo’s autodirector for baseball smoothly switches from a centre field camera capturing the full diamond to the home plate as each ball is in play without the need for any input.

 

CloudStudio Next

CloudStudio Next is a fully web-based next generation platform, which allows the user to pitch the slider somewhere between fully automatic, and AI-assisted production. Operators have the option to let AI take control or divide roles such as commentary and replays between colleagues sitting anywhere in the world.

 

Users can choose between two viewing modes: Production Mode, which sees what goes out to the viewers, with smart controls to switch camera angles, run replays and trigger graphic overlays; or Pressbox Mode, which allows the operators to move the camera freely without affecting the production.

 

Instant Replay

Key game events are already marked in Spiideo Play, either by CloudStudio, manual operators, by plugging into automatic data sources from scoreboards, Spiideo’s AutoData or through Spiideo’s event API. With Instant Replay, goals, smart plays and other moments can immediately be prepared as highlight clips and replayed from a new perspective. Further, the same Spiideo cameras used for both broadcast and analysis are also capable of being used for officiating purposes, with Spiideo’s video assisted referee product Spiideo Replay.

 

Highlight Studio

After all full games are captured with Spiideo’s AI cameras and broadcast live, automatic data is then combined with the video ensuring every detail is stored and is able to be filtered later. With this information, Spiideo’s system accurately cuts short form content which can then be published across multiple channels. With multiple angles available, and the option to reframe any moment from Spiideo’s virtual panoramas, Highlight Studio allows users to create world-class personalised short form content at scale.

 

New Micro X1

Spiideo has also added the new Micro X1 to its range of sports video capture solutions. The cloud-powered camera is small but mighty, measuring just 3 inches on its longest side and with a standard quarter inch thread compatible with any third-party mounting device, the camera not only fits in the palm of your hand but is capable of capturing footage and angles from locations such as goalposts or subs benches which were previously impossible with AI automated solutions.

 

This new addition to Spiideo’s product offering unlocks new angles to enhance productions, bringing fans closer to the action and providing an opportunity to focus on particular areas of play or players.

 

AutoFollow

Spiideo’s autocasting is not possible without its unique AI model. Autofollow is built from scratch and trained to follow the gameplay in a natural way for any given situation, allowing any sport to be broadcast without the need for manual operators.

 

With the latest AI update (the third generation of the model) customers will be able to cover all games from multiple angles, in a high-definition resolution. This new generation of Autofollow will identify events and phases of fixtures with high precision, which is crucial to furthering the evolution of automatic production.

 

Spiideo co-founder and CEO Patrik Olsson, comments: “The advent of autocasting has made high-quality live streaming incredibly cost-effective, creating a low barrier to entry for broadcasting lower leagues and niche sports, in an increasingly inflated media rights market.

 

“These new features will further our aim to deliver compelling sports content and we are proud to continue to lead this transition to automatic sports production.”

 

These updates signify Spiideo’s relentless pursuit of innovation, offering sports organisations worldwide a solution alongside its vast line of fixed camera systems.

 

Its portability and cutting-edge AI capabilities empower organisations to broadcast, capture, analyse, and elevate their performance—regardless of their location.
