What is it designed for<\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Forward Referee system is designed specifically for video refereeing during sports competitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Forward Referee server records all video channels from the stadium cameras throughout the duration of the game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The system time is coordinated with the data received from the stadium match controller. The server records the time along with the camera video. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The replay referee\u2019s monitor displays footage from all cameras as well as the time from the stadium match controller. The judge can switch between the live signal and the recorded footage in one click.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Footage from all cameras is synchronized using the recording time (time code). When switching cameras while viewing a specific time stamp, the system displays the same time stamp from all cameras.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. When a controversial moment arises, the referee can view the desired moment of the game without stopping the recording: rewind back to any moment – from one second ago to the start of the game; enlarge a fragment of the image; rewind\/fast forward frame by frame or in playback mode at the required speed: fast forward, slow motion, real time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The operator can promptly prepare a video report on controversial moments after the game and save it to a file in the required format: AVI, MPEG2, AVC, MP4, Apple ProRes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. A recording of the game with footage from all cameras will be saved in the archive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
