Vislink will demonstrate the update of its AI-based IQ Sports Producer at IBC 2022

The ability to now also use a range of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras to capture live events in the highest optical quality, and encode AI-driven content for live streaming platforms are some of the new features of IQ Sports Producer that Vislink will present at IBC 2022.

Additionally, this capability is supported by Vislink's full suite of software tools, including LinkMatrix and NFT Clipper.

Vislink's IQ Sports Producer delivers high-quality sports productions for live broadcast, driven by a artificial intelligence, to follow the sporting action and produce an exciting and engaging production. IQ Sports Producer delivers broadcast-quality images using a selection of high-quality 4K camera systems to produce single- and multi-camera productions, such as the company's Stellar Cam.

Now, the use of PTZ cameras can be integrated into the IQ Sports Producer workflow. This provides users with the highest image quality by dedicating the entire PTZ camera image frame to sports action at the maximum broadcast frame rate. Additionally, a simple overview camera allows the AI ​​engine to direct the broadcast PTZ camera to the center of the sports action.

Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink, is excited about "the addition of PTZ cameras to IQ Sports Producer, as this provides even more shooting angles for our customers with greater ability to follow sports action. The new feature provides full-frame HD images focused on sports action and benefits from the superior optical zoom capability of a PTZ camera, as opposed to digital zoom. We have already deployed PTZ cameras as part of IQ Sports Producer at NSC Velodrome events. (National Sports Center) produced by AI and we have plans to extend it to other sports broadcasts in the coming months.”

Since its acquisition of Mobile Viewpoint, a manufacturer of linked encoding technology to support 4K video, 5G network communication and AI, among other advanced remote production solutions, Vislink can now offer a greater breadth of solutions. Vislink and Mobile Viewpoint team members will be present in Amsterdam from September 9 to 13.
