It all started with a simple idea: a father, too busy to attend his son’s soccer practice, wanted a way to watch the games remotely. The solution? An AI-powered camera system that records matches autonomously and streams them live anywhere.

AISportsWatch from Essen, Germany, tackled this challenge. Their weatherproof, AI-supported cameras capture high-definition 180° footage, broadcasting games via LTE or Ethernet. Since launching, the system has recorded over 20,000 hours from 7,000 matches, primarily in amateur leagues. The technology has since expanded to sports like basketball, ice hockey, and equestrian events, offering live streams, highlight clips, and detailed performance analysis.

Powering Precision with TRACO POWER
The reliability of such a system hinges on a robust power solution. For this, AISportsWatch chose the TPP 40-112A-J AC/DC power supply from TRACO POWER. While designed for medical use, the TPP 40-112A-J offers features perfectly suited to the demands of automated camera systems:

  • Compact Design: Measuring 50.8 mm x 76.2 mm, it fits seamlessly into the camera’s enclosed chassis.
  • Efficient Performance: Delivers 40 watts of output with high efficiency and minimal power loss.
  • Temperature Resilience: Operates at full capacity up to 80°C, ensuring reliability in all weather conditions.
  • Low Idle Power Consumption: Meets ErP standards with less than 0.15 watts in standby mode.
  • Stable Output: Provides low residual ripple (<75 mVp-p) for consistent performance.

Why a medical power supply?

The TPP 40-112A-J, part of TRACO POWER’s medical series, features reinforced isolation, high I/O isolation (4000 VAC), and compliance with stringent EMC standards (IEC/EN/ES 60601-1-2). These attributes ensure safety, longevity, and exceptional reliability, even in demanding non-medical applications like automated camera systems.

AISportsWatch demonstrates how innovation in AI technology, combined with robust power solutions, is revolutionizing sports broadcasting. With TRACO POWER’s TPP series, they’ve ensured that their cameras deliver uninterrupted, high-quality footage, making amateur sports accessible and engaging for audiences worldwide.
