42 www.inbroadcast.com | Vol: 8 - Issue 3 | March 2018 InForm Tedial To Introduce Smart LIVE T edial is to introduce Smart LIVE at NAB 2018, its comprehensive live event support tool and a major breakthrough in sports production. Smart LIVE leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to increase the number of highlights created automatically, thus reducing production costs and boosting revenues for production companies. What makes Smart LIVE unique in the industry? Before any action happens, Smart LIVE ingests a LIVE data feed and automatically creates an event inside its metadata engine. Simultaneously Smart LIVE automatically creates the corresponding log sheets, the player grids and a schedule of the event. All these preparations are linked and organised by collections, so an entire season of sports events can be prepared automatically in advance. During events, live data is ingested, and the system can be configured to automatically create clips based on actions, keywords or logged occurrences. Smart LIVE automatically pushes content to AI engines; video and audio recognition can be leveraged to generate additional locator data and annotate the media proxies. And the system can automatically publish clips or push content to social media platforms. Jerome Wauthoz, VP of Products for Tedial said: "We couldn't be more excited to bring broadcasters, rights holders, clubs, federations, or any organisation involved in live production a ground-breaking paradigm that will dramatically transform the way they automate clips and deliver content across numerous platforms, including social media. By tightly integrating with AI tools, Smart LIVE can generate an increased number of highlights during or after an event, and deliver to a very targeted audience increasing the potential for significant growth in fan engagement." Smart LIVE's powerful metadata engine can easily be configured to create an automatic metadata ingest process addressing demanding and complex sport workflows. Smart LIVE dramatically increases the utility of the MAM GUI interface, bringing the MAM much closer to LIVE production than ever before. Smart LIVE is compatible with PAM providers such as SAM or EVS.
