Japan Race Promotion Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshihisa Ueno; hereinafter "JRP"), which operates the Japanese Super Formula Championship (hereinafter "SUPER FORMULA"), has decided to introduce "XtraMotion," the latest generative AI slow-motion effect tool, for two tournaments this season, including the opening series at Mobility Resort Motegi (Motegi Town, Tochigi Prefecture) on April 3rd (Fri), 4th (Sat), and 5th (Sun), with the technical cooperation of Photron Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Takashi Takimizu).

JRP is constantly seeking cutting-edge technology under the themes of "evolution of motorsports video" and "improving the quality of the viewing and spectating experience for fans." "XtraMotion," to be introduced this time, is a next-generation video production tool using a proprietary AI algorithm from EVS of Belgium. By introducing this technology, it will be possible to deliver high-definition super-slow-motion footage of fleeting moments that could not be captured by conventional normal cameras. We will deliver a more dynamic viewing experience in SUPER FORMULA broadcasts and streaming, so please look forward to it!

Key Points of New Video Production with "XtraMotion":
