Fans want to see the batter swing and the ball fly out of the park. A single camera angle doesn’t tell the whole story—it’s the crystal-clear close-ups and the flawless switch to a sweeping outfield view that keeps fans focused on the action.

With a multi-angle Spiideo setup, broadcasters can switch between views to show each phase of play from the perfect viewpoint. And now, with the release of AutoDirector for Baseball and Softball, AI can handle pitch-by-pitch production, delivering professional-grade transitions without any manual input.

Managed through the new and improved CloudStudio Next, Spiideo’s cloud-connected feed management platform, production teams can provide professional-grade transitions that enhance the live production.
Throughout live baseball and softball broadcasts, AutoDirector automatically shifts from the “high home view”—a sweeping, panoramic shot of the diamond—to the “pitcher view” behind centerfield as each play unfolds, creating a viewing experience worthy of the big leagues.

Utilizing Spiideo’s sport-specific AutoFollow technology, which is finely tuned to track the action and maintain focus on the most exciting area of play, Spiideo’s AI recognizes the right moments to switch perspectives, taking control of the storytelling and ensuring fans get the best possible view of every moment without any need for a human camera operator.

AutoDirector for baseball marks another milestone in Spiideo’s vision to elevate automation in sports production. Spiideo aims to remove all friction from the camera operating, producing, directing, and commentating processes. This enables Spiideo Play users to achieve more with less and deliver high-quality broadcasts—at scale, from anywhere, and at every level of sport.

At Spiideo, our aim isn’t simply to stream live events—we’re committed to making sports storytelling effortless and accessible at every level of play. With AutoDirector for baseball and softball, we’ve reached another base in our pursuit of delivering seamless, automated production that rivals the traditional sports broadcast.

When paired with powerful automation tools such as Storyboard—used to script live events and trigger production elements based on real-time data—and instant replays, Spiideo Play’s automatic broadcasting technology allows production teams to take a much-needed breather, with AI ready to step up to the plate.
