Earlier this month, Spiideo announced the launch of their latest product that is working towards completely changing the way technology interacts with live sport. CloudStudio Anywhere empowers commentators and production teams around the world to deliver live, captivating content without being physically present at the sporting venue.

CloudStudio Anywhere has been developed in response to the growing demand for more accessible solutions, particularly during the pandemic, when venue closures and capacity limits restricted the world’s consumption of sporting entertainment. The solution adds greater flexibility to Spiideo’s existing cloud-based production tool, CloudStudio, which, until now, required operators and commentators using the system to be physically present at the venue in order to make use of its broadcast-enhancing features, such as the real-time keying of graphical elements, including lineups, and audio commentary.

Spiideo currently works with some of the world’s most recognisable sports organisations, including Juventus, Inter Milan, AS Roma, Leicester City, French Football Federation, Iceland’s Pepsi Max League, more than half of the teams currently playing in the US MLS (Major League Soccer), NHL, NBA, the entire USL (United Soccer League), as well as an even wider array of rugby, ice hockey, field hockey, lacrosse and basketball teams throughout Europe and North America.

Unlike its competitors, CloudStudio Anywhere requires very little effort on behalf of the operator in order to use. Audio and graphics added through CloudStudio Anywhere are automatically synced to the broadcast stream, which is generated by Spiideo’s game tracker technology, which uses artificial intelligence to follow the action without the presence of a camera operator. Whether standing outside the venue or on the other side of the world, operators and commentators can now deliver TV-standard broadcasts as effortlessly as if they were observing in the stands. Ultimately, this means sports teams and organisations can stream more matches while maintaining the high-quality value that fans deserve.

CloudStudio Anywhere marks the latest advancement of the Spiideo Play platform, which is an automatic OTT video platform, designed to make sports streaming available to all. Spiideo Play provides customers with hassle-free plug and play camera systems. Once the cameras are set up and in position, users can then schedule and share live streams via their laptop or smartphone in a matter of minutes.

Patrik Olsson, CEO & Founder at Spiideo, commented: "Spiideo is committed to making sports broadcasting as simple and innovative as possible for our customers. With the launch of CloudStudio Anywhere, we hope to provide greater ease and convenience to our customers and facilitate them in taking their automated broadcasts to the next level. With commentators and production staff no longer required in the venue at each event, customers will be able to find reliable production staff and commentators as they increase their number of streams while eliminating any time wasted travelling to and from events.”

Spiideo has also recently introduced new features including CloudControl, the company’s camera monitoring system, bulk scheduling, enabling customers to schedule hundreds of games in minutes. These tools are all working to make it easier than ever for media partners that rely on fleets of Spiideo cameras to capture and stream thousands of events each year.

In addition to the aforementioned features, Spiideo is also launching its new AutoData feature, designed to take performance analysis to the next level. Available via its integration within Spiideo Perform, AutoData enables teams and organisations to automatically capture an array of player-specific data including goals, shots, passes, fouls, runs, player speeds and distance travelled, which improves managers, coaches and analysts’ ability to make crucial decisions as the game unfolds.

Spiideo is enabling sports organisations to eliminate costly and time-consuming manual recording processes within the sports industry while providing the necessary tools to analyse performance within a single platform, share footage from the cloud, and earn revenue through streaming. More than 2000 teams and organisations are currently optimising these technologies, including some of the world’s most recognisable football teams.
