TSA and Cinfo focus on automatic production with the Sony FR7

Artificial intelligence applied to automated audiovisual broadcasting is the latest line of work of Telefónica Audiovisual Services (TSA), which develops an automatic production project with the help of Cinfo with the Sony FR7.

To undertake this automatic production initiative, a process that starts from processing elements captured by a camera to then generate different predetermined actions, is based on the system developed by Cinfo. Based on this detection of elements and actions, the system is capable of autonomously initiating different camera actions, such as movements, zoom or plane changes. The solution, already implemented and tested in sports such as handball, volleyball, basketball or soccer, has now been redefined to be able to automate the recording of football matches. Vasca ball.

To capture the close-ups, TSA has opted for Sony ILME-FR7. This camera, integrated into the Cinfo production system (which is responsible for moving it automatically), stands out for being the “first PTZ in the world” that has interchangeable lenses. on the market as it is the first PTZ in the world that has interchangeable lenses. Its full-frame Exmor RTM CMOS image sensor and BIONZ The equipment proposed for this project mounts a full-frame, high-precision lens, with the quality required by 4K and future high-resolution formats.

TSA considers that this innovation project has represented “quite a challenge” that denotes the company's “look at the future.” For the Telefónica group company, more specifically, it is a “firm commitment to the development of solutions offered by the new technologies and artificial intelligence, which have been marking change in all areas, including the audiovisual sector.”
