THE PROCESS Each SEC football stadium has a secured replay booth equipped with a DVSport Digital Replay System. Three individuals work in the booth for the duration of the game: 1. Replay Official, 2. Communicator, 3. Technician. The Replay Official is selected and assigned by the Conference Office.

A live video feed is sent directly to the replay booth. The Technician watches the feed on an input monitor while capturing/digitizing it into the DVSport Digital Replay System. The Technician also marks the beginning of each play as well as any replays as they occur in real time.

Each play and subsequent replay then appears on a touch screen in front of the Communicator. As the Technician marks the incoming video, each view (by mark) will appear as a small picture on the computer touch screen. At any time, the Communicator can touch/click on a thumbnail and immediately send that play/replay to the Replay Official. 2006 SEC Football • Page 8 Week 1
