AI-camera scoop for Johan Cruijff ArenA business events

Published at 12 November 2020

A highly advanced video production solution that can independently direct online and hybride events. The Johan Cruijff ArenA has the scoop: the stadium is the first business event location in The Netherlands to offer the super-intelligent video production system by LiveArena. The smart system that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to stream live events, is developed and tested by the Swedish company LiveArena in collaboration with Streaming Buzz and Dutch AI spin-off from TNO; Studio Automated.

The Live Arena Broadcast Room system allows for fully automated, unmanned productions of live streaming presentations and events and is integrated into Microsoft Teams. The AI-camera follows the speakers, switches automatically to the presentation, zooms in and can show the speaker and presentation at the same time.

The Broadcast Room system is very accessible, fast and affordable without needing a director or complex editing. The AI-camera and system are installed in the largest room in the ArenA, Amsterdam ’72. The Johan Cruijff ArenA has several rooms where online and hybride events can safely take place, complying with the required 1,5 meter distance.

The Johan Cruijff ArenA offers several options for such events. For example; a live talkshow setting from the Royal Box in the fully equipped Studio ArenA with a view of the famous ArenA pitch. But also the combination of a live event and a livestream studio with or without an audience, for example in The House of Legends room with a large LED-screen. All is fully supported by professionals like AVEX, the dedicated AV-partner of the ArenA.
