TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pixellot,
the leader in AI-Automated sports production technology, and NEP
Switzerland of the NEP Group, the
leading worldwide partner for premier content producers of live
sports, announced today a partnership to introduce award-winning AI
production technology to Swiss sports leagues.
NEP Switzerland acquired
several Pixellot Prime systems after conducting multiple successful
tests on first league soccer and handball games in Zurich. NEP plans to purchase an additional
twenty Pixellot Prime systems by end of year.
"The decision to integrate Pixellot's Prime AI-Automated sports
production as part of our production services will enable NEP to
produce many more types of sporting events that up until now were
never produced or broadcast," said Reto
Osterwalder, Managing Director of NEP Switzerland.
"Pixellot's cost-effective solution will enable NEP to bring many
more hours of sports programing to the Swiss sports community. This
is great news for federations, clubs, event organizers, as well as
athletes and coaches in Switzerland and makes NEP the 'one-stop-shop'
for all production needs."
Pixellot Prime delivers full HD 1080p broadcasts at native 50-60
FPS and includes AI-Automated game highlights and graphics.
Pixellot Prime can be augmented with additional camera angles,
instant replays and a live or remote commentator. Having produced
over 400,000 games, and generating over 40,000 live hours per month
to date has made Pixellot the biggest sports production company in
the world.
"We're thrilled to be working with one of the world's top
providers of broadcast services and media solutions. Adding
AI-Automated technology to sports production opens up a plethora of
opportunities for covering sporting events that were never covered
before," said Alon Werber, CEO of
Pixellot. "The field-proven efficiencies of innovative AI
technology enrich the variety and quantity of sports content
produced. This will result in many more hours of live and on-demand
sports than ever before for Swiss viewers."
Pixellot will be exhibiting its technology at IBC, 13 -
17 SEPTEMBER 2019 at the RAI
