In a multi-year deal that will enhance the growth of the new
sport, Airspeeder digital media, broadcast content and data is
being managed in DMH and leveraged for distribution, monetisation,
AI-assisted editing, packaging for press publications and remote
production enhancement.
DMH, partnered with accelerated file transfer and cloud storage
solutions from base, an integrated cloud media solutions provider,
enables smart global content distribution and accessibility across
the globe for Airspeeder.
Stephen Sidlo, Airspeeder's Global Media & Marketing
Director, said, "Veritone's expertise in sports is evident in their
ability to streamline operations and uncover revenue opportunities
for customers through AI. Airspeeder is eager to tap into this
wealth of industry knowledge to elevate our sport into a global
series. As a nascent sport, Airspeeder needs to work with
best-in-class industry leaders to grow its sports rights
proposition, Veritone and base are the perfect combination to help
us succeed.”
David Candler, Senior Director, Customer Solutions, Veritone,
said, “We are extremely proud to provide AI-powered solutions - in
partnership with base - to support and promote this fantastic new
race series, which is pushing the boundaries of innovation in both
aviation and motorsports. Veritone thrives on creating trusted
partnerships with organisations like Airspeeder who are fully
embracing the use of AI to enhance their media operations and grow
their sport.”
Ben Foakes, base Founder and CEO, said, “Airspeeder is a really
exciting new business, perfectly aligned with our team’s expertise
in providing cloud-native solutions for major sports, gaming brands
and media and entertainment companies. We love to get involved
early with cutting-edge ventures, with particularly complex
technical workflow challenges to solve, and to go on the scale
journey with them.”
The race aircraft use electric vertical take-off and landing
(eVTOL) technology and are crewed by human pilots. They are
4.1-metre in length, constructed from lightweight carbon fibre and
are capable of delivering up to 320kW of power, flying at speeds of
up to 150kph through remote skies. The concept was developed by
Alauda Aeronautics, led by chief executive Matt Pearson.
Last weekend saw remotely-controlled flying cars compete at
Stonefield Airfield, South Australia, in a race won by Zephatali
Walsh, who outpaced opponents Lexie Janson and former F1 driver
Bruno Senna in wet and windy conditions. Next year, Airspeeder will
continue to develop their crewed racing platform with global
locations soon to be announced.
The live race was broadcast locally to over 100 guests with NEP
and EMG leading the production. DMH allows key stakeholders to
access and view this historic event. Post-race Airspeeder content
is also managed on DMH, primarily for editorial purposes, feeding
sponsors, partners and teams.
The broadcast featured innovative onboard cameras from EMG that
streamed 4k live footage from all three craft via RF, setting a new
standard for immersive experiences. The combination of live
streaming and recorded broadcasts ensured that the excitement of
the race reached audiences worldwide.
Content rights deals are in place with DAZN, Extreme and Fox
Sports to show highlights and their “Road to Flying Car Racing”
documentary series co-produced with Aurora Media Worldwide.
Airspeeder is providing an array of captivating content,
providing fans with exclusive insights into the exciting world of
eVTOL racing, including highlights from the inaugural race and
in-depth behind-the-scenes series such as "Road to Flying Car
Racing," "Finding Extreme Pilots," and "Building Flying Cars."
Veritone, renowned for its expertise in harnessing AI for
comprehensive content management and monetisation, will work
closely with Airspeeder's in-house media team to provide viewers
with incredible access to the technology, pilots, teams and
breath-taking race action that makes the Airspeeder eVTOL racing
series a new standout event in the world of motorsports.
