AI-Automated sports production provider Pixellot announced on Thursday the launch of Pixellot Air, an automated recording and video analysis camera specifically designed to serve grassroots and academies markets. The coaching features of Pixellot Air were developed with the guidance of FC Barcelona in partnership with Barça Innovation Hub, presented during World Football Summit Live in late November of last year.
The device has a dual-camera array and direct cloud uploading functionality means that up to 12 hours of play can be recorded and instantly uploaded without the need for a camera operator, electricity, or even internet connection. After the games, which can take place on any court or pitch, the video is automatically produced available for coding, tagging, and annotating on a coaching platform. Its integration with VidSwap means that coaches can see in-depth analytics and game breakdowns to help their teams gain a competitive advantage.
