Over the past few decades, almost all of our lives have seen a huge technological progress affecting all the paths. And big, he has worked towards improvement. Except for the exception, technology is considered a more negative effect. However, an area where technological development is considered as an opportunity rather than a threat unanimously ‘sports’.
The main reason for this is that technology in sports is considered by players and spectators as a means of promoting transparency and fair games and at the same time to reduce human error in the playground.
Especially in international sports technology works, where players are at high stake and run the feelings of nationalism at a height. In such cases, even an innocent mistake of judgment by a referee or umpire, for example, depends on where the decision maker is from, or where he or his obvious sympathy.
For the first time in history, with a slight back, a Test match was televised directly on the BBC on June 24, 1938 – the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at the Lord’s. There were only three cameras here – a batsman was focusing on a bowler and a glimpse of the general environment of a venue. In addition, it was limited in the coverage of only 7000 television audiences in the London region – no color, no complete match coverage, no replay, no more than one camera angle, and no highlights. Nevertheless, it was a great achievement that it was a direct photo transmission, and also, technically, this milestone took place just 16 years after the first direct radio coverage of a match (in 1922). From the 1950s and 1960s, with the advent of video recording, cricket matches began to be recorded as usual for replay, analysis, and highlights, especially with limited overs and television broadcasts. During this period, the improvement of video recording technology allowed broadcasters to film the entire matches and re -operate key moments.
The first known use of a slow motion replay on television returned to a boxing match held in the United States on March 24, 1962, which took place just minutes after ending, in a slow motion.
Cricket, basketball, hockey, football, tennis and other similar sports paved the way for modern replay technologies that have improved the accuracy of decision -making and improved the audience’s involvement, thus ensuring justice and accuracy in sports.
When the first television broadcast began in England in 1938, it covered only 20 km and only 7000 television viewers in the London area. But in the days, they were just an old price, which is dramatic and excessive in the current age or in any kind of field, the effects of technology on sports. There are cameras all around the boundary line, which zooms to cover each angle and playground to cover every action. The entire match and commentary are issued not only for television sets, but also through the Internet millions of desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Fans compete with each other, flood social media with comments and analysis of their match.
In the present century, there has been a notable evolution of video broadcasting that has dramatically enhanced the experience of viewing outside the events, providing an equal entertainment price competition experience, compared to the audience sitting inside the stadium. There have been technical innovations, which have made a major development in the quality of video broadcasting experience in the playgrounds. Some of these prominent technical innovations include:
Quick replay technology
This technology has been widely used in all sports. In cricket, it is mostly used to review runout, stumping, suspicious catches, and whether the ball has crossed the limit for six or has been short for four or has stopped near the boundary line to save four.
Decision Review System (DRS)
The technology was first used during a Test match between England and Pakistan at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on May 21, 2001. Subsequently, the ICC allowed advanced hawk’s eye technology. Its big use in Cricket Broadcasting is in the leg analysis and review of the wicket (through the third umpire), where the potential route of the ball can be gauged through the batsman’s legs, to find out if it can be stamped.
Hawk iball tracking in tennis:
Hawki’s International Tennis Federation (ITF) tested in 2006 and was approved for use in professional tournaments this year. That same year, the US Open Hawk became the first Grand Slam tournament to use technology. Also, this was the first time that players were allowed to challenge line calls, as well as cricket where players are allowed to review suspicious decisions. Subsequently, Hawks Eye Technology has been used successfully during television coverage of major international tournaments, including Wimbledon, Queens Club Championship, Australian Open, Davis Cup and Tennis Cup.
A change of human line judges
Since 2021, the Australian Open has used Hawk Eye to call the lines. The US Open replaced the line judges in 2022 with full electronic line calls. On October 9, 2024, the All England Club announced that the electronic line calling will change the human line in the Wimbledon, starting in 2025. This trend is probably a reflection of things that come in other sports.
FIFA Approved Round Line Technology (GLT)
Once again, Hawk Eye is a goal line technology (GLT) that is authorized by FIFA and was first used in the 2014 World Cup. Hawk Eye tracked the ball and informed the referee if a ball completely crosses the goal line in the goal. The purpose of the system is to eliminate the mistakes in assessing whether a purpose was scored.
Extreme Edge Technology
‘Ultra Age’ technology is a review system used in cricket to find out if the ball contacted the bat, or not (also known as ‘Snackometer’).
When a cricket ball touches any part of the batsman’s body, it creates a sound in a certain frequency, which is understood between the sounds created by the bat, pads and clothing. The sensitive stump records the microphone audio and increases the specific frequency, which eliminates unwanted frequencies. Together, a slow motion camera records the movement of the ball as it goes through the bat. Then the recorded video is seen in conjunction with the Ultra Age Time graph and then used to review the decision. See the umpires, as well as in the stadium and at home, on a large stadium screen or on domestic television. After that, we have a technical system that improves transparency and fair games.
Hotspot Technology:
An alternative to Ultra Edge is hotspot technology, which uses infrared technology (instead of sound). The hotspot is like an imaging system used to determine if the ball has hit the batsman’s bat or pad. This requires two infrared cameras on the opposition parties above the playground that are permanently recording an image. The hotspot makes it clear whether the ball has targeted the bat or not because it has a clear mark, while the Ultra Edge indicates the touch of the ball on the bat.
Finally, technology has deepened the sports industry by reducing human error and promoting a fair game. It has extended sports with the stadium limits of people’s home HD TV sets, including portable devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops.
Technologies like DRS and Hawk Eye have already revolutionized sports and brought quality and entertainment in sports to new heights. The addition of existing technologies with AI can open up new and interesting possibilities and can revolutionize sports in sports by the first unimaginable ways in sports.
Now is now on various governing bodies of sports to take full advantage of the ongoing high -speed developments in digitalization and AI, which will be in the great interest of sports.
