Luke McCoy on automating graphics on sport live streams

Gone are the days of putting four logos and watermarks up on in each corner of a livestream and in a static bug and no halftime stat. People have an expectation and a brand has an expectation. So that's where we come in and then we automate that entire process.

Sean Callanan Speaks

About Luke McCoy

Luke McCoy had always looked forward in being involved in the sports business scene. With a degree in Sports Science from the University of New Castle, Luke interned for different sports organisations like the Central Coast Mariners and the Sydney Kings. In 2012, he founded Virtual Performance Analysis (VPA), a video production company providing elite high performance strategies, video recording and analysis services to National Sporting Organisations, state associations and teams, individual athletes and other sporting and corporate events.

While VPA had a successful run, the need to upscale the business became ideal when sports live streams started as well as the outpouring requests of clients wanting a graphic or branding in videos. Thus, Luke came up with the Live Graphic Systems or LIGR.

According to Luke, “Live Graphic Systems is a white-labelled automatic graphics platform that helps sports leagues personalise and scale out live streams while attracting revenue from brands.”

Live Graphic Systems has been working with several world leading organisations and technologies around sports and broadcast like InteractSport, SportsRadar and Champion Data.
