TOKYO, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Technology that, within five seconds of a point-scoring play in a tournament,
will show on a television screen a 360-degree replay highlight video. For the
viewer, the highlight video is just as immersive as the original footage,
because it can be seen from multiple angles. The technology is 4DReplay(
a real-time replay video system that is popular among sports fans worldwide.
4DReplay's(
ability to show not only the exact moment that a point was scored, but even the
sweat on the athlete's face and broadcasting of games/tournaments from many
different angles.
4DReplay, a technology developed by 4DREPLAY(
a member of Born2Global Centre(
a Silicon Valley-based global media technology startup, can capture and replay
key moments. For example, a 360-degree rotating view from sporting events. The
principle is simple: 50 to120 special cameras that are installed at the stadium
or venue, filmed in real-time, detail videos of an athletes' every move. Then
these events, without rendering, are immediately edited at the stadium's
operating console and played during the live broadcast.
It is due to its ability to render exciting moments from tournaments or matches
that spectators want to see again and again which creates an "even more real"
experience than the original live footage. 4DReplay is currently used for
diverse sporting events, such as the broadcast of a San Francisco Giants game
(MLB) in 2017. 4DReplay is also used today in live broadcasts of global
competitions, including the NBA, NHL, PGA, LPGA, Australian Open, and UFC.
Of note, 4DReplay will be used starting on July 23, at the world's largest
sporting event, which is held this year in Tokyo. 4DReplay, which has been
installed at 11 stadiums, will be used to film approximately 50 sporting events
and is expected to produce many dramatic videos, including the opening ceremony
at Japan National Stadium. Exciting performances by athletes for such sports as
athletics, artistic gymnastics track, golf, volleyball, 3X3 basketball, sport
climbing, skateboarding, BMX racing, Taekwondo, wrestling, and Judo. For
Taekwondo and wrestling, 4DVar, an official game judging system, will be used.
For Judo, the video solution 4DLive(
will be used as a means of supplementing the sportscaster's commentary.
Hongsu Jung, CEO of 4DREPLAY, said, "The prolonging of COVID-19 and the
resulting consistent hosting of sporting events without on-site spectators is
making viewers even more nostalgic for the feeling of watching a game offline
in person. The broadcasting company personnel who are responsible for streaming
the world's biggest sporting event have the added responsibility of conveying
the atmosphere on-site to fans watching from home so that fans feel like they
are physically present. 4DReplay features each athlete's performance in a
360-degree view, which allows us to show every movement made by the world's top
athletes—the outcome of years of sweat and tears—in a high degree of detail
that we believe will impress viewers. For team events, performances will be
shown for different angles per team. Our videos will help viewers to better
understand a particular sport through their multi-angle portrayal of athletes'
momentary decisions and performance."
