PIERO-Mira Integration

The PIERO-Mira integration combines our sports analysis graphics and replay systems, and the result is sports graphics and telestration at their absolute best! The seamless workflow between PIERO and Mira gives major sporting event producers maximum flexibility on recorded camera sources, allowing them to carve out an unparalleled swath of storytelling views. To add to that, operators will never have to worry about missing a thing, since all angles of a play are instantly and intuitively available in the PIERO GUI they’re already used to. PIERO telestration magic then ensues, and upon completion, the newly created PIERO graphics clip is automatically saved to the Mira for later playback or building highlights packages. With the PIERO-Mira integration, there is no time spent on anything except creating a ton of engaging content.
