Pixellot Offers Broadcasting Solutions for Amateur Soccer Teams

Youth, amateur and semi-professional soccer teams are subject to extremely limited budgets which curtail their ability to broadcast games to fans. The exorbitant costs of professional video coverage result means that fans at the games are typically the only ones who get to see the action. Professional soccer teams enjoy broadcast coverage options with sports channels like ESPN, ESPN Plus, Fanatiz, fuboTV, beIN SPORTS, FOX Sports (FS1 and FS2), AT&T TV, GolTV, Univision, CBS ALL ACCESS, peacock, Telemundo and NBCSN.

Fortunately, Pixellot has arrived, and this innovative AI sports broadcaster is finding the back of the net with all soccer teams around the country.

Pixellot blows away the competition by dint of what it is, and what it does. For starters, Pixellot sports broadcasting does not require manned camera crews, technical experts, or a PhD in electronics to operate. The cameras cover 180° of the soccer pitch, to provide uninterrupted coverage of the action. Multiple cameras are strategically stacked in a camera box for complete coverage of the field of play.

Where cameras meet, footage is seamlessly stitched together to create the ‘panoramic’ view that is necessary in professional soccer broadcasts. No camera operators are required, no audio operators are involved, no graphics coordinators are needed, no producers take part, and no technical director is involved – it’s simply two soccer teams battling it out with a sophisticated AI sports broadcasting system filming everything.
