During a live televised sports match, how do they get the replay footage edited in so quickly?

I’m curious as to how a ref will blow their whistle and get instant replay footage within seconds. Can someone explain this process to me?

I report on motorbike racing and was shown the inside of the TV truck. They have a large team of people with lots of screens, constantly labelling footage and making it available to the producers instantly.

The producers will be able to tell all the TV commentators when they will play the replay, so the commentator gets to say “let’s take another look at that” in their own language just before the replay is played on every feed.
