The Smart Replay System is a ground-breaking feature that is expected to revolutionize officiating before the 2024 IPL season. ESPNcricinfo reports that this system will expedite decisions while enhancing flexibility.
Using video from eight high-speed cameras positioned all around the field, two Hawk-Eye operators will be stationed behind the TV umpire. As a result, a TV broadcast director is no longer required as a middleman.
The TV umpire gains access to split-screen visuals for comprehensive analysis, including stumpings, run-outs, catches, and overthrows. The addition of TV umpire tri-vision at stumps results in a noticeable improvement in film quality.
The Smart Review System combines side-on and front-on views into a single frame to provide unambiguous explanations for controversial catches. Live broadcasts will feature conversations between the Hawk-Eye operator and TV umpire, providing transparency.
Before the method was used, the BCCI trained about fifteen domestic and foreign umpires over two days in Mumbai.
