AI Cameras, 3D Replays, Spidercam Transform India-Afghanistan T20I Broadcast
India and Afghanistan will play three T20 cricket matches in New Delhi.
The television coverage will use many new technologies.
Special cameras will build a 3D view of the players and pitch.
This will let broadcasters show replays from angles that normal cameras cannot reach.
Very fast cameras will record more than 600 pictures every second.
These cameras can show details such as bat-ball contact and stumpings.
A drone system will add graphics and player positions to the screen.
The production team hopes this will make cricket more visual and cinematic for fans.
The three-match India-Afghanistan T20I series in New Delhi will use FIFA World Cup 2026-style broadcast technology.
Free Viewpoint technology will create real-time 3D versions of the pitch and players for unusual replay angles.
Cameras recording at 600 frames per second or more will capture highly detailed slow-motion footage.
Spatio will combine a stabilized drone feed, augmented reality and real-time player tracking for tactical graphics.
The matches will be directed by Jamie Oakford and broadcast on Sony Sports and FanCode on September 13, 15 and 17.
