About Us...

We founded Advanced Image Robotics in March 2020 to solve pains experienced over 30 years of live video production. Content creators and producers shouldn’t have to be IT experts, and it shouldn’t take the GDP of a small country to broadcast an event.

Our executive team has worked with some of the biggest brands in entertainment and tech, won multiple Emmy® Awards, and driven some of the world’s biggest product launches. Technical advances over the last few years have given us the pieces to radically simplify this industry, and we’ve used our collective expertise to combine them into a purpose-built platform. We can’t wait to see what content you’ll create with it!

OTT Livestreaming is growing from $30 Billion to $534 Billion by 2030. Advanced Image Robotics gives you the tools to cost-effectively scale your content production with that growth.

HOW AIR SIMPLIFIES VIDEO PRODUCTION

  • Robotic controls and machine precision give you greater accuracy in shooting.
  • Camera equipment sets up and breaks down in minutes.
  • Direct cloud connection streamlines the camera-to-viewer workflow.
  • Enabling distributed teams through cloud production means a more efficient labor force.

DATA POINTS

  • AIR One™ estimated production cost savings of >50% (mileage may vary).
  • Investing in more engaging content typically sees a 24% uplift in subscriber eyeballs.
  • Beijing Olympics had a record low TV viewership (8.7M), and a record high streaming viewership (12x higher at 106M)!
  • In 2022, PGA expects to broadcast ~650 hours of golf, and expects to livestream over 4300 hours. But this only represents 35% of what they want to do!
  • The average video editor loses $7000 in productivity per year simply managing and searching for media.

“AIR’s technology solves a number of critical, long-standing problems in the video production workflow in a way that no one else is doing.
