What is Pixellot?
Pixellot is one of the world’s most widely deployed AI-automated sports camera systems, used across thousands of venues globally — from high schools and amateur clubs to major professional leagues. Pixellot cameras record and stream games automatically without any camera operator, turning every scheduled match into a live stream.
The Pixellot range includes Pixellot Prime (broadcast-grade, multi-camera, up to 4K), Pixellot Show (HD, fully automated for semi-pro and amateur leagues), and Pixellot Air NXT (portable and lightweight for flexible deployment). Pixellot supports live stream output via RTMP, RTSP, SDI, and NDI, making it compatible with a wide range of production workflows and third-party platforms, including LIGR.
What You Will Need
- A Pixellot camera system (Prime, Show, or Air NXT) with RTMP output enabled
- A LIGR Live account — sign up free at ligr.live
- A match or event configured in LIGR (graphics theme, data source, sponsors)
- Stable internet connection (minimum 5 Mbps upload recommended)
Step-by-Step: Connecting Pixellot to LIGR
Set Up Your Match in LIGR
Log in to LIGR Live and create a new match in your Control Room. Select your graphics theme, connect your data source (e.g. LIGR LiveScore for real-time scoring), and configure your sponsor overlays and ad playlists.
Enable GFX & Stream Mode
In your LIGR match settings, switch to GFX & Stream mode. This tells LIGR to accept an incoming RTMP video stream as the base layer and overlay your configured graphics in real time.
Copy Your LIGR RTMP Credentials
LIGR will generate a unique RTMP URL and Stream Key for this match. Copy both — you will paste these into your Pixellot streaming configuration.
Configure Pixellot RTMP Output
In your Pixellot management dashboard, navigate to the streaming settings for your camera or venue. Select Custom RTMP as the output destination. Paste the LIGR RTMP URL and Stream Key into the relevant fields.
Start the Pixellot Stream
Begin your Pixellot live stream as normal — either manually from the dashboard or via the automated schedule. The camera will capture the game and send the RTMP feed directly to LIGR.
Operate Graphics in LIGR (or Let Game Plans Do It)
Once the feed lands in LIGR, you can operate graphics live from the LIGR Control Room — push scoreboards, lower thirds, sponsor ads, and highlights in real time. Or, use LIGR Game Plans to automate the entire broadcast with pre-configured graphic sequences, live scoring triggers, and sponsor ad playlists — no operator needed.
Stream Out to Any Platform
LIGR pushes the combined feed (your Pixellot video + LIGR graphics) to any destination you choose — YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, your own website, or a dedicated OTT platform like DAZN. You can also multi-stream to several platforms simultaneously.
What LIGR Adds to Your Pixellot Stream

Zero-Operator Automation
LIGR Game Plans automate the entire broadcast — graphics, ads, highlights, streaming — from first whistle to final siren.
Why Stream from Pixellot to LIGR?
Pixellot gives you automated camera capture. LIGR gives you automated broadcast production. Together, they create a fully automated, end-to-end live sports broadcast pipeline that requires zero operators — from camera to viewer.
Without LIGR, your Pixellot stream is a raw camera feed. With LIGR, it becomes a professional broadcast — complete with branded graphics, live stats, sponsor revenue, highlight clips, and multi-platform distribution. LIGR is the production layer that turns automated capture into automated broadcasting.

Tips and Troubleshooting
Latency
Adding LIGR to your Pixellot workflow introduces minimal additional latency (typically under 2 seconds). For most live sports applications, this is imperceptible to viewers.
Bandwidth
Ensure your venue has sufficient upload bandwidth for RTMP streaming. Pixellot recommends at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming — we recommend 8-10 Mbps for the best experience with LIGR overlay processing.
Multiple Outputs
If you want to keep streaming to the Pixellot portal and to LIGR, check whether your Pixellot plan supports multiple simultaneous RTMP outputs.
