FOR-A Unveils “viztrick AiDi”: AI Sports Production Assistant At IBC2025
FOR-A will showcase the European debut of “viztrick AiDi”, a groundbreaking intuitive on-device AI solution that operates without internet connectivity whilst delivering real-time video analysis with remarkably low latency.
This intuitive AI technology, refined through practical production experience and offering intuitive usability and rich expression through broadcast-quality graphic technology, is set to revolutionise sports broadcasting and live production workflows.
viztrick AiDi transforms sports coverage through intelligent automation that enhances rather than replaces human creativity. The system's player tracking capabilities enable dynamic commentary by allowing operators to draw directly on screen whilst automatically following moving players or objects. Real-time speed quantification visually emphasises the brilliance of athletic performance, whilst distance and angle analysis tools highlight player skills instantly.
The system's facial recognition technology enables smooth presentation flow by instantly displaying player profiles without interrupting match coverage. Even more impressive, viztrick AiDi can recognise scoreboards and automatically input scores faster and more accurately than manual operation, making match flow easier for viewers to follow. Production appeal is maximised through high-precision video analysis, all processed locally on a single PC.
At IBC2025, FOR-A will demonstrate viztrick AiDi's sports package with a live football-focused showcase featuring drawing tools (brush, arrow, and number), 2.5D ground drawing, comprehensive motion data (speed, distance, and distance/angle calculations), face recognition capabilities, and automatic score graphics generation.
The European debut of viztrick AiDi reinforces FOR-A's commitment to practical AI solutions that deliver immediate operational benefits. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, the system's on-device processing ensures consistent performance regardless of internet connectivity, making it ideal for outside broadcast environments and remote production scenarios.
