With Smartlive, Tedial makes the most of artificial intelligence and MAM in sports production environments

Tedial's Smartlive aims to revolutionize live sports production by marrying Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an innovative metadata engine, bringing the back office and files closer than ever.

Tedial will present at NAB 2018 Smartlive, a solution that aims revolutionize live sports production. Its unique development marries Artificial Intelligence (AI) together with an innovative metadata engine to bring the back office and files closer than ever. This tight integration supports a greater number of highlights, during or after an event, and allows a specific story to be delivered to a target audience across multiple platforms, including social media, increasing the potential for significant growth in fan engagement.

Smartlive simplifies event preparation by capturing team data, events and statistics, automatically creating an event within your metadata engine. Simultaneously, it automatically creates the corresponding log sheets, player lineups and different video sources for the event. All of these preparations are linked and organized into collections, so an entire season of sporting events can be automatically prepared in advance. Agnostic to any sport and any data provider, Smartlive's powerful metadata engine can be easily configured to create an automatic metadata ingestion process and address demanding and complex sports workflows.

Tedial's new proposal directly connect content with Artificial Intelligence engines- Video and audio recognition can be leveraged to generate location data and annotate live media proxies across multiple camera or location inputs. During events, all PAM event data is ingested in its native format, automatically augmenting proxy logs, and the system can be configured to automatically create clips based on logged actions, keywords, or moments. Once created, these highlights can be automatically posted to social media or passed into workflows that improve performance. These highlights can be relative to a single event, a particular star player, or an entire season.

Smartlive dramatically increases the usefulness of the MAM GUI interface, bringing MAM much closer to live production than ever before. It is 100% compatible with PAM providers such as SAM or EVS, making it the perfect tool to orchestrate all business processes on top of an existing PAM, including the use of historical files in live production. You can then manage the media lifecycle or media mobility between different sites.

Furthermore, it not only brings historical archives into live PAM records in the format that a PAM can use immediately, but also reduces production preparation time and allows broadcasters, rights holders, clubs and federations to significantly increase the number of highlights created during or after sporting events with fewer staff thanks to its automatic highlighting engine and the integration of artificial intelligence. More content published means more income.

At NAB, Tedial will showcase automatic highlight creation with Smartlive, its integration with AI engines, as well as speech-to-text integration by annotating incoming live media with technology partner Speechmatics and auto-publishing functionality with technology partner Tellyo.
