re: Ohio St 40 Northwestern 30 - FINAL - Haters gonna hate edition.

They don't have a camera on other side..sheesh

They only have cameras on one side of the field?

What a fricking joke. He was so across. Ohio state to the championship huh big 10???

why is the yellow line moving during the replay?

Because of the angles, its only set for certain angles, and they were using the yellow line from a different zoomed in angle.

The simplest description of this system is: The first-down line is drawn on the field with a computer so that viewers seeing the game on TV can see the line as though it were painted on the field. Here are some of the problems that have to be solved in order for this system to work:

The system has to know the orientation of the field with respect to the camera so that it can paint the first down line with the correct perspective from that camera's point of view.
The system has to know, in that same perspective framework, exactly where every yard line is.
Given that the cameraperson can move the camera, the system has to be able to sense the camera's movement (tilt, pan, zoom, focus) and understand the perspective change resulting from the movement.
Given that the camera can pan while viewing the field, the system has to be able to recalculate the perspective at a rate of 30 frames per second as the camera moves.
A football field is not flat -- it crests very gently in the middle to help rainwater run off. So the line calculated by the system has to appropriately follow the curve of the field.
A football game is shot by multiple cameras at different places in the stadium, so the system has to do all of this work for several cameras.
The system has to be able to sense when players, referees or the ball cross over the first down line so it does not paint the line on top of them.
The system has to be aware of superimposed graphics that the network might overlay on the scene.

Naturally, ABC does not have the opposite side camera angle to show that he actually got the first down. It's like watching a close Texas Big 12 game.

He made the 1st down. Won't be enough visual evidence to overturn call on field.
