Replay Technologies: Experiencing Visual Excellence through freed

With new innovations in the field of visual display, the world of sports entertainment has undergone huge changes. From 3D video recording to Ultra High Definition video formats, the vertical has seen significant growth. These advancements bring in new problems that traditional visual systems are incapable of handling—putting together quality replays over short commercial breaks and other challenges to provide innovative imaging tools. Replay Technologies, a broadcast and media company, aims to revolutionize the viewing experience with its free Dimension (freeD) technology. The firm recently launched its Generation 2 freeD system, that can produce images of game footage in just 30 seconds. “Replay Technologies facilitates a novel viewing experience unbound by the limitations of physical cameras and enhances storytelling and user immersion possibilities to a new level,” says Oren Yogen, CEO and Co-founder, Replay Technologies.

Replay Technologies places high-speed camera sensors at strategic spots in the stadium. The firm provides solutions through its two prominent offerings: Solo Freed System and Arena Freed System. Both the solutions have the ability to capture a moment in time—Static Replay—and create and tune cinematography in post-production—Dynamic Replay. The 3-Dimensional reconstruction technology gives accurate measurements of position, speed, and velocity of the objects in the processed scene. The data from the camera can flow through the fiber extenders up to 6 miles and the information is stored as a freeD database. Using Teledyne Dalsa Falcon 2 cameras that offer a resolution of 12 mega-pixels—equivalent to 4K technology—the images rendered are always sharp. The angles of all the cameras are synced to shoot at the same time to create a perfect Static Replay.

The Solo Freed System enables broadcasting at 720p resolution with 2K (4MP) resolution capture devices. This can cover up to 550 square feet with a 180-degree coverage area.
