AutoDirector uses AI to interpret the action on the field and then automatically switch between cameras to get the best view for the audience! This frees up your operators to manage scoring and commentary.
AutoDirector is currently available for Baseball and Softball to switch between two camera angles

Using AutoDirector
Once your broadcast is live, you can open CloudStudio and watch the camera switch in real time as the AI identifies key events at home plate. You can adjust camera angles manually but the AutoDirector will override your changes on the next AI-given instruction. You can still freely:
Operate graphics and overlays
Adjust the scorebug
Commentate
Tag events
AutoDirector will use the camera 'High Home' as the default view and then switch to a center camera focusing on the mound and home plate, when the batter takes their place.
