    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does Mixpeek detect highlight moments in sports footage?

    Mixpeek uses a combination of visual action recognition (player contact, ball trajectory, goal sequences), audio spike detection (crowd noise, commentator excitement), and on-screen graphic analysis (score changes, replays). All three signals are fused together to rank moments by highlight potential. You configure what counts as a highlight per sport through customizable event taxonomies.

    Which sports are supported?

    Any sport that's been filmed. Mixpeek supports configurable event taxonomies, so football (goals, fouls, red cards), basketball (dunks, three-pointers, blocks), American football (touchdowns, interceptions), baseball (home runs, strikeouts), tennis (aces, winners), and custom sports all work. Each sport defines its own 'highlight moment' criteria.

    How fast can highlights be generated after a game ends?

    With batch processing, a 90-minute match can be fully analyzed and highlights assembled within 15-20 minutes of the final whistle. For live streams, Mixpeek can generate near-real-time highlights within minutes of a moment occurring, enabling immediate social media publishing.

    Can it search archived broadcast footage from previous seasons?

    Yes. Upload historical footage in bulk and Mixpeek processes it into a fully searchable archive. Query by player name (with face recognition), action type ('bicycle kick', 'hat trick'), date range, or semantic description ('dramatic comeback in the final minute'). Results include exact timestamps and keyframes.

    How does player identification work?

    Provide labeled reference images of each player (jersey number, headshot, or in-game frames). Mixpeek builds face and visual signature models per player. You can then search footage by player name and retrieve every scene they appear in with timestamps and confidence scores.

    Does this work with live broadcast streams or only recorded footage?

    Both. Mixpeek processes pre-recorded video files (MP4, MOV, MKV, etc.) and can integrate with live stream ingestion pipelines via HLS or RTMP. For live workflows, frames are sampled and analyzed in near-real-time with configurable latency targets.
