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?
In: Technology
they use a piece of hardware that holds all of the “streams” in a sort of memory to be instantly brought back up and spliced in to the broadcast. many places use one by a company called EVS, but there are others as well.
when there are longer times, they may edit items in using traditional editing software and then importing that, but in cases where it’s nearly instantaneous playback it’s usually a hardware solution.
in these control rooms multiple people can see all of the angles happening at once and usually it’s someone’s job to request to the operator specifically what they want to be played back live.
