Background

Decart is an AI company whose Lucy 2.0 model delivers real-time transformation of live sports footage at under half a second latency. France Televisions named Decart as a vendor in its RG Lab AI production stack at Roland-Garros 2026, disclosed on 11 June 2026, making it one of the first AI companies publicly credited for live generative video transformation in an active broadcast production context. The sub-500-millisecond latency is the threshold at which real-time broadcast use becomes technically viable, distinguishing Lucy 2.0 from post-production AI tools.

Decart operates in the generative video infrastructure segment, targeting broadcast and live-production workflows rather than consumer-facing content generation. Its positioning is at the latency-constrained end of the market: applications include live style transfer, visual enhancement, and on-air content transformation that must complete within the broadcast chain without introducing perceptible delay. France Televisions' Roland-Garros deployment is the company's most prominent public production credit to date.

The broadcast-vendor landscape for live generative AI is nascent. Decart sits alongside companies like Topaz Labs (remastering) and Gracia AI (volumetric capture) in what France Televisions' RG Lab disclosure reveals as a multi-vendor stack rather than a single-provider solution. The competitive set extends to established broadcast-technology companies integrating AI as a module rather than building AI-first from the outset.

Common Questions
what does Decart do?
Decart builds AI models for real-time video transformation. Its Lucy 2.0 model can transform live sports footage at under half a second latency, which is the threshold at which broadcast-viable real-time use becomes technically feasible.Source: Lowdown — Media's AI Pivot
what is Lucy 2.0?
Lucy 2.0 is Decart's real-time live video transformation model. It was used by France Televisions at Roland-Garros 2026, processing live sports footage in under 500 milliseconds, enabling on-air visual transformation without perceptible broadcast delay.Source: Lowdown — Media's AI Pivot
where was Decart's technology used in 2026?
Decart's Lucy 2.0 model was used by France Televisions' RG Lab at the Roland-Garros tennis tournament in 2026. France Televisions publicly credited Decart on 11 June 2026, making it one of the first AI companies named for live generative video transformation in an active broadcast production.Source: Lowdown — Media's AI Pivot
how fast is Decart's Lucy 2.0 video transformation?
Decart's Lucy 2.0 transforms live video footage in under half a second (sub-500-millisecond latency). This latency threshold is significant for broadcast because it is fast enough to apply AI transformation within the live production chain without introducing a perceptible delay for viewers.Source: Lowdown — Media's AI Pivot
why is real-time video transformation latency important for live broadcasting?
Live broadcasts cannot tolerate delays that viewers would notice, typically above one to two seconds. At under 500 milliseconds, Decart's Lucy 2.0 can sit inside a broadcast chain — between camera capture and transmission — without causing visible lag, which is what separates real-time AI tools from post-production AI tools.Source: Lowdown — Media's AI Pivot
