FIBA is hosting an independent technical assessment of automated video solutions (AVS) in Nyon, Switzerland, in December 2026 to establish standardized performance benchmarks. The initiative aims to evaluate ball tracking, latency, and image stitching to provide objective data for leagues and clubs considering automated production technology.
Standardizing automated video solutions provides the technical transparency necessary for mid-market leagues to transition away from expensive manual broadcasts. By establishing benchmarks for latency and image stitching, FIBA is effectively creating a procurement roadmap for clubs that previously lacked the resources for consistent video coverage. This move pressures traditional broadcast hardware providers to integrate more software-driven automation to remain competitive in non-tier-one sports markets. As these systems gain official approval, the industry should monitor whether standardized technical reports lead to a measurable increase in live-streamed volume for regional basketball federations.
FIBA is hosting a three-day technical assessment in Nyon this December to evaluate automated video production tools. By testing ball tracking, latency, and image stitching under real-world conditions, FIBA aims to standardize performance benchmarks. This initiative provides a procurement roadmap for lower-tier leagues to adopt cost-effective, AI-driven broadcast alternatives.
The testing event is scheduled to take place from December 14-16, 2026, at the Colovray sports complex in Nyon.
FIBA will assess signal latency, scoreboard data recognition, and the system's ability to maintain ball tracking even when the ball is obscured.
The goal is to establish objective performance benchmarks and provide a procurement roadmap for lower-tier leagues to transition from manual to automated broadcast production.
Yes, systems that meet FIBA standards will be eligible for 'FIBA Approved' status, joining existing providers like Pixellot and Sportradar.
