The LiveClips technology platform aggregates live, post-game or archived sports feeds to create, digitise and deliver discrete searchable video clips of every playfor delivery to linear broadcast and digital devices. LiveClips’ unique technology system delivers immediate personalised sports highlights for the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket App experience.

We acquire unique capabilities to embed in our products and the ability to influence roadmaps. In turn, these companies gain access to a world-class technology team and the subscriber scale of DirecTV.”
