A standout feature of the IBC showcase is the pre-release of Pixotope Reveal, a groundbreaking AI-powered background segmentation solution. Reveal isolates talent from any background, allowing the effortless placement of graphics behind the subject without the need for a complicated and cumbersome green screen setup. This flexibility is transformative; it will revolutionize how talent engages with digital environments, enriching the creative process by making it more immersive and accessible. Its introduction is pivotal for broadcasters, offering a more streamlined and cost-effective entry into virtual production that enhances audience engagement with captivating visuals.

In addition to Pixotope Reveal, the company is introducing several key updates, including:
