Vislink debuts new camera for AI-powered sports production

Vislink is adding a new addition to its range of cameras with the launch of the Mobile Viewpoint Stellar Cam.

The camera is designed for artificial intelligence powered live sports production and features UHD, high frame rates, and zooming capabilities to capture action as it happens on the field of play.

“This announcement affirms our leadership position in incorporating AI-powered technology to facilitate more cost-effective news and sports productions,” said Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink.

“Stellar Cam represents the latest in a long line of AI solutions brought to market by our Mobile Viewpoint brand. It is a key component of IQ Sports Producer, our platform for capturing live sporting events without the need for onsite staff. IQ Sports Producer is perfect for mid and lower-tier games and matches, and enables over-the-top (OTT) media providers, media right holders and production companies to capture sporting events on a limited budget.”

Vislink’s IQ Sports Producer can be employed on live streams of popular sports such as football, rugby, basketball, hockey and handball, and has also recently been deployed to cover sports such as horse jumping and velodrome cycling, with support for more sports being added.

According to the company, a single panoramic camera captures the whole pitch, arena or track in extremely high resolution. AI is used to create a virtual camera that tracks the action of the ball and the players, creating a software cut-out of the action from the panoramic view. TVB Europe
