In recent years over multiple sports, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system has worked extremely well when validating or reversing calls made on the field of play. Anyone associated with a competitive sport is interested in ensuring that the right calls are made during the course a game. Especially when the outcomes of those games can be affected by a referee’s judgment call.
How It Works
At a centralized location for a given league, Replay Control houses an Eclipse matrix frame with replay officials on V-Series panels. When a play needs to be reviewed, a WAN connection from Replay Control is established with the venue where the game is being played. Referees on HelixNet* digital partyline channels make a decision on a given play with assistance from Replay Control. The decision is eventually shared with the Broadcast team the correct or validated call is announced to viewers, listeners and fans in attendance.
*HMS-4X is a legacy product starting 2022. The Arcadia® Central Station can be used in place of the HMS-4X.
