Vela Cadence produces automated event logs for live production at expert-class quality. A multi-pass vision pipeline detects every play, score change, graphic and transition with frame-accurate timestamps, delivered in industry-standard production format — a structured timeline ready for replay, highlights and archive.
Pilot / proof-of-concept. Accuracy reflects early, single-game validation.
Logs in the format downstream systems already expect — without operator-grade hours.
Specialists review and correct the hard calls; the pipeline handles every routine event.
A structured timeline — classifications, timestamps, downstream targets — directly consumable.
Vela Cadence processes broadcast footage through a multi-pass computer-vision pipeline: frame-level scene classification and OCR of scores, clocks and down-and-distance; event detection and play-type classification; context enrichment with drive state and replay association; and conversion to production format with frame-accurate timecodes and per-entry confidence. Every reviewed game feeds a correction-exemplar store that sharpens the next.
The output is industry-standard production format — 42 distinct play codes, machine- and human-readable — cross-validated against an external league play-by-play data source to confirm classifications and fill gaps. It runs 4–8× real-time, turning a ~3.5-hour game around in roughly 20–25 minutes, with simultaneous multi-game processing and a near-real-time live mode.
A multi-pass pipeline that detects, classifies and formats live production events at expert-class quality.
Play-by-play event detection, score-change tracking and period transitions across the whole broadcast — no manual logging.
Broadcast-timecode extraction with frame-accurate start, action and conclusion markers for every event.
Graphics and lower-third detection, replay-sequence identification and replay-to-originating-play association.
Commercial-break markers with brand-level advertiser identification within each pod — invoicing-ready timing.
Video, scorebug OCR, audio ASR and external league data fuse into one validated, reproducible log with build manifests.
Specialists accept, reject or edit entries before export; every correction feeds the exemplar store.
Output ships as a full production-format game log plus a play-by-play summary, commercial-break log, a Nielsen-pattern timing sheet, structured JSON and a build manifest carrying full provenance and correction audit.
Each pass adds a layer — from raw frames to a validated, production-format log.
Named surfaces for review, sync and delivery.
The full structured log, entry by entry.

Delivers production-format output into the systems that consume it.
Vela Cadence moves from raw footage to a production-ready log — formatted and validated, ready to consume.
Plays, scores, graphics and transitions.
Play type, drive state, replay association.
42 play codes, frame-accurate, validated.
Measured against a professional broadcast logger’s hand-built ground truth on a complete game — early, single-game validation.
Validated against professional broadcast-logger ground truth on a complete professional sports broadcast — framed as single-clip / single-game POC.
Build manifests and provenance make every log reproducible and auditable — run-to-run consistency by design.
Engagements start with a signal. Bring a representative game and we run it through the logging pipeline — you see exactly what Cadence logs, before any commercial conversation.
