Advanced sports analysis service

Today, video coverage of virtually every major sports event is analysed in some way, be it to give TV viewers or newspaper readers interesting, additional information in real time, or to provide coaches and technicians with meticulously detailed insight into improving performance.

A number of solutions exist in the market, often specific for one specific type of sports, and mostly consisting of just a software product instead of the full service as needed by professional sports clubs, associations and the media.

VentureAxis partners with editors of sports analysis solutions to provide:

A full service offering to the end customers on an ongoing basis
Scalability in terms of number of events covered and international expansion
Cost efficiency and quality of operation by, for instance, outsourcing the coding service
Management of data capture with specific camera installations or other techniques

The partnership with VentureAxis allows, for instance, the authors of the world's leading post match analysis system for team sports to provide an all-inclusive service to the coaches of some of the most famous professional teams in the world's best football leagues in Europe, Asia and the US, monitoring and improving the physical, tactical and technical aspects of performance.

Media data feeds

VentureAxis are able to index live match footage and provide statistical outputs or formatted results in-match to enable automated textual commentary feeds or provide assistance to media commentators. Alongside live match data feeds, historical trend data can be supplied to provide context.

Data capture solutions

Our solutions range from analysis offerings based on the TV footage of any given event to the most advanced systems with dedicated stadium capture solutions for professional teams.

With the need of real-time analysis or, in the case of coaching level information, turnaround times of only a few hours, VentureAxis operates stadium capture systems consisting of multiple high definition, remotely controlled IP cameras and automated data links to the VentureAxis production centre where thousands of matches are processed every year using the most advanced software in the market.

Using a dedicated facility in India, combined with a local team in the UK, VentureAxis has outsourced the processing of video for a leading UK sports company. The facility can process over 250 hours of video per day with turn-around times of less than 24 hours, to an extremely high accuracy in terms of spatial position analysis, and complex event tagging with thousands of tags per video hour. The process includes the capture, digitisation and transfer of source videos to India over a high-speed link. Over 100 staff are involved in the processing and quality assurance process, before final results are delivered to the clients.

For a specialized, UK-based organisation offering consulting and software solutions in the professional sports industry, VentureAxis has outsourced the entire software development organization. Responsibilities include new development as well the maintenance of existing products. By transitioning the client's key staff into a joint team with a dedicated offshore group, the hand-over was achieved within three months. Within the first year, productivity was vastly increased at reduced overall cost. Clear processes could be established to the benefit of the overall client business and the client now "owns" a flexible and highly scalable software organisation, taking care of the current and future requirements around its highly specialized software products.
