Tactic telestrator | Sports Broadcast Graphics

AI Powered Assisted Keyframing

Tactic Pro uses advanced machine learning algorthyms to detect players and create their motion paths. Just drag and drop a graphic on to a player and let the system do the rest. Create complex analysis sequences with multiple tracked players in a fraction of the time it would take to do this manually.

AI Powered Pitch Calibration

With Tactic a single click is all it takes to automatically calibrate your graphics to the camera perspective. We are confident you will not find a quicker or easier method to setup your sequences on the market today. Works for football, American (NFL) and Australian (AFL) pitches.

AI Player Drag and Infill

Drag players across the pitch to illustrate better tactical positioning. Let our AI do the hard work of cutting out the player and fill in the background - it even handles the white lines!

Touchscreen and Tablet Support

Put analysis in the hands of the presenters allowing them to tell the story live on camera by using a touchscreen or handheld tablet. You even have the option to customise the user interface to your match your channel branding.

AI - Team ID

Team ID uses our AI to identify which teams players belong to and lets you easily add team formation graphics to them. This saves time and lets users focus on creating more insightful sequences.

League Packages / World Cup Packages

We supply team colours, player names and logos so you can focus on analysis of the action. Just download the package you need from our website when you want them.

External Data Based Graphics

Content based around statistics from specialist data providers such as Opta can be applied to the playing surface or the virtual stadium as stills or clips. Please contact us to discuss what is possible with your preferred data provider.s

Metric Based Graphics

Metrics based graphics (speed, distance, height etc) help bring deeper understanding to analysis. Available on pitch based sports such as football, rugby, hockey etc.

Camera Morph

Let telestration graphics tell the story while having the ability to virtually move the camera between two positions to get the best view of the action.

We can advise on the best workflows when working with internal storage, replay servers, or MAM systems. Please contact us for more guidance.

To take advantage of essential AI powered features such as Player Detection we recommend transferring clips from your external devices and working directly on Tactic’s local disk, using the Internal Storage Workflow.

Tactic can support 2 simultaneous inputs. Even 4 are possible subject to hardware. Speak to us so we can advise on the best setup for your needs.
