How the Spanish Basketball Federation uses automation to broadcast thousands of games

FEB oversees hundreds of games every week across its leagues and national teams. But consistently capturing and sharing footage relied on traditional production methods—camera operators, production crews, bulky equipment, and complex logistics that are difficult to deploy at scale. As a result, many games went uncaptured and unseen, limiting the reach and growth of its teams and competitions.

FEB entered a multi-year partnership with Spiideo to modernize video production across Spanish basketball. By deploying automated capture and production technology, the federation can now record, enhance, and distribute live events at scale without compromising production value.

Under the agreement, Spiideo serves as the exclusive provider of automated production for all FEB events, utilizing:

AI Camera Systems
AI-powered fixed and portable cameras with AutoFollow technology that automatically tracks play—without the need for a human operator.

Spiideo Play
A cloud-based production platform that provides automated support across camera operation, graphics, and distribution to streamline sports broadcasting.

CloudStudio
A remote, collaborative production control room that facilitates camera operation, production management, and live audio commentary from anywhere.

FEB has deployed over 60 Spiideo AI-powered cameras — automatically capturing and distributing consistent, high-quality live footage. Advanced features such as Storyboard and Production Recipes enable production elements to be pre-planned and triggered automatically throughout a live event.

For federation-hosted tournaments, such as the Spanish Cup, human staff team up with AI through CloudStudio to deliver a top-tier viewing experience. Utilizing multi-angle capture, custom graphics, live scoreboards through API integrations, and audio commentary—while leaving the legwork of camera operation to automation—the federation can turn hundreds of games per tournament into highly professional productions.

All content is automatically distributed to Canal FEB and YouTube, the federation’s digital streaming platform, and social media channels, putting fans courtside at every game.

For Federations
Automated capture, production, and distribution drastically reduce the logistical complexity and cost of live broadcasting at scale. The federation can air more matches, and the viewing experience is more consistent across competitions, which increases reach and engagement.

For Fans
Utilizing automation means federations can make more games available to watch live or on demand at every level. Supporters can follow their favorite teams and players, home and away.

For Leagues & Clubs
Every game is captured and broadcast, strengthening the connection between clubs and supporters. High-quality broadcasts and consistent social media highlights help to attract, engage, and monetize new fans

For Coaches & Players
Coaches can utilize archive footage to review and analyze team, individual, and opposition performances. Likewise, access to high-quality game recordings at scale provides players with visual feedback, supporting their continued development and raising the standard of play.
