The background segmentation tool allows broadcasters to integrate real-time 2D and 3D graphics into live productions without greenscreens, manual rotoscoping, or match moving.
Pixotope Technologies has launched Pixotope Reveal, an AI-powered background segmentation tool which allows broadcasters to integrate real-time graphics into live productions. The software enables integration of 2D and 3D graphics without the traditional requirements of greenscreens, manual rotoscoping, or match moving.
"Pixotope Reveal represents a significant leap forward in broadcast technology," said Marcus B. Brodersen, CEO of Pixotope. "By harnessing the power of machine learning, we're enabling broadcasters to create more engaging content while significantly streamlining their production workflows. Given the rapid advancement of AI technology, we anticipate that solutions like Reveal will quickly become the primary choice for broadcasters, eventually replacing traditional methods like chroma keying for Virtual Studio production. The pace of development in AI and machine learning is extraordinary, and we're positioned at the forefront of this transformation in broadcast technology."
Pixotope Reveal allows presenters to interact with AR graphics in real-time. The software's advanced AI can extract on-screen talent from any background, enabling the seamless placement of graphics both in front of and behind presenters as well as interaction with polling data, weather maps, and financial charts. In sports broadcasting, real-time statistics and analysis can be integrated into the live action, with player stats, team analytics, and game data appearing to exist within the physical space rather than overlaid on screen.
"The ability to create graphics that truly interact with talent and adapt to the environment is a game-changer for live productions," said Gideon Ferber, Product Director at Pixotope. "Whether it's a news anchor walking through election results or sports commentators breaking down play analysis, Reveal's AI-powered integration creates a more immersive and informative viewing experience."
Sports broadcasters and rights holders can also offer sponsorship opportunities with Pixotope Reveal's ability to integrate virtual advertisements into any environment. This capability allows for region-specific sponsor content and enhanced brand integration without disrupting the viewing experience.
