GoVertical! AiDi delivers real-time, AI-aided 9:16 auto cropping for immediate live streaming to mobile platforms. It is ideal not only for live sports, but also for events such as red-carpet premieres, scripted and unscripted shows, movie trailers, conferences, and news – anywhere 9:16 streaming is in demand.
"GoVertical! AiDi instantly unlocks revenue streams with mobile phone viewers," said FOR-A America President and COO Satoshi Kanemura. "There is virtually no delay with GoVertical! AiDi, and no need to connect to the internet or the cloud, as opposed to competing solutions that introduce a delay of five to ten seconds. When it's live, every frame counts."
NBC Sports is using the GoVertical! AiDi feature of viztrick AiDi to stream live sporting events in 9:16 mobile-first formats. "We needed a way to produce high-quality 9:16 live content with virtually no delay," said Tim Canary, Senior Vice President of Engineering, NBC Sports. "viztrick AiDi does exactly that. The AI tracking is fast, accurate, and reliable – and when you need manual control, it's instantly available. It gives us flexibility without sacrificing the pace or quality of our live coverage."
This AI-powered technology operates at true broadcast speed, enabling near-real-time processing. Powered by NVIDIA's high-performance GPUs, it enables true live streaming, ensuring that audiences experience every moment as it happens and that broadcasters maintain the immediacy demanded by live production.
viztrick AiDi delivers real-time player tracking, face tagging, object recognition, 2.5D telestration, auto-score graphics, and motion data analytics.
