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
A lot of the camera feed is inserted into a system that is recording multiple angles and that is fast to create “events” with ins and outs.
What happens is that someone is watching and every time they see something cool they will create the event, there is usually shortcuts for -3, -5, -10 and -20 seconds, this way a event is created where the start point is on the correspondent time you pressed.
After that it’s just a matter of knowing if your shot is good when the director calls for the replay, on bigger games and bigger budgets you will have multiple replay operators with multiple cameras, since there is people covering the ball, the off-side line, players near the ball for random stuff, there is the open shot, close shot, slow motion…
It’s really cool to see it happening, it’s a lot of people working together to make it happen and, like a lot of people said here, there is this adrenalin rush that you get on a good show that you can’t describe. I’m working with live events for the past 3 years, did eletronic sports for 2 years and I’m on corporate events for the past year, because the market exploded with covid. I love what I do now, but, there is way more adrenalin on any kind of sport coverage.
