Supports HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) input By supporting HLS input, you will be able to directly import video from streaming distribution services and perform live analysis. Live analysis allows you to perform analysis while following the stream, so it can be used for sports content where editing speed is important. Additionally, there is new support for the ability to clip the exciting sections from the streamed video and cut it out live. In addition to the live analysis using the cloud material transmission “C3 Portal” that we have been providing so far, we will expand the range of applications for AI analysis by supporting live analysis of distributed video. ■Related links ・AI video analysis service A2 Production https://www.sony.jp/professional/creators-cloud/a2-production/ ・Cloud production platform Creators’ Cloud
