NFL Camera Question

[Houston]

For reviews/challenges why can't they sync up multiple cameras to the same system?

For instance in the Eagles game they were trying to decide if the ball crossed the plane before the players knee down. One of the cameras had a good spot of the ball, but no shot of the knee. The other camera had an ideal shot of the knee, and no shot of the ball. So they had to switch between the two, which of course doesn't really help.

Shouldn't there be a way for them to look at Camera A, and pause exactly when the knee goes down. Then flip to Camera B which would be paused at the same exact time to see if the ball is in the endzone yet. Seems like it'd be a lot simpler that way.


Or maybe I'm missing something here?

That's a great idea. I'm in your corner here.

With digital recording it should be that hard...not sure why that tech is not in place already.

Reply to all those emails roger goddell sends. Maybe he'll reply.

I assume the replay booth does that, but we don't truly know.

Well I wanna believe it's a good idea, but I also wanna have faith that the NFL would already have this if it were that easy.

I am sure they already have this
