AI features have been added to make it quicker and more straightforward for operators to integrate AR graphics into live broadcasts
Vizrt has launched Viz Arena 6, the latest version of its all-in-one live AR graphics sports package. AI is now embedded into the system to “reduce calibration headaches and radically simplify keying and masking,” says Vizrt.
The company says the new AI-driven features make it straightforward for operators to integrate AR graphics into live broadcasts, lowering the barrier to entry for creating AR sports graphics.
The AI ensures AR graphics and virtual ads stay locked to the field, no matter how the camera moves.
Vizrt also says the AI gets graphics to air 10x faster than before, through features such as the sports intelligent keyer, which uses ambient learning to intelligently separate foreground from background, with minimal manual input required.
“We were blown away by the AI calibration and AI keyer, they really transformed our fast-paced MotoGP workflow. We were supposed to be beta testing, but Viz Arena 6 was so stable and consistent, that we decided to take it straight to air,” says Sergi Sendra, senior director, media content, technical and production departments at Dorna Sports.
“With this release, we’re expanding on the real purpose of AI in production technology, making the process more effective and accessible. Want better creativity and efficiency? AI-powered calibration and keying speed up the process. In sports, the action never slows, and productions need technology that can keep up,” adds Edouard Griveaud, senior product manager, sports and AI, at Vizrt.
