Although over 40 million athletes across the U.S. participate in youth sports, their games rarely make it to the screen. Many parents capture video of their kids playing and share them on social media, but they lack the production quality.

However, the combination of video production automation and the ability to deliver video over the web is bringing professional quality video production to youth sports is improving the experience for your coaches, athletes, and parents.

Pro-Quality Tech without the Pros

The secret behind automated video technology revolves around not having any camera operator. Instead, someone places a special video camera on the field of play. During the broadcast, a special algorithm acts as a "camera operator" zooming in, or framing the panoramic view, and follows the action in real-time. This footage is then uploaded to the Cloud and can be streamed anywhere.

The result is a professional-quality broadcast without any human intervention at a fraction of the cost of traditional production. The technology automatically produces game highlights and clips that can easily be shared on social media or another network.

The system is easy to use and can be permanently installed by the facility or organization to automatically capture every game and practice.
