Israel-based Pixellot develops production technologies that provide live, multi-angled, panoramic HD broadcasts of sporting events. The company's software uses a system of cameras that cover the entire venue to monitor and broadcast the flow of the game without the need to deploy employees on site. Founded in 2013, the company employs 100 people, according to company spokesman.
