What Is Smart Replay System: Latest Innovation To Be Tested At IPL 2024
The Indian Premier League (IPL) will introduce a Smart Replay System for quick, accurate decision-making and a less rigid process in the upcoming season, starting from Friday, as ESPNcricinfo reported. According to ESPNcricinfo, eight of Hawk-Eye's high-speed cameras are spread over the ground, and two Hawk-Eye operators will be seated in the same room as the TV umpire, providing him with images obtained by them as part of the Smart Replay System. Under the new arrangement, the TV broadcast director--who up until now served as a liaison between the Hawk-Eye operators and the third umpire--will not be involved. It is claimed that the TV umpire will have access to more visuals--including split-screen images--than he did in the past thanks to the Smart Replay System. Consider the fielder on the boundary rope making an overhead catch in midair. A split screen of the fielder's feet and hands at the exact instant the ball was caught was previously unavailable to the broadcaster.
