<\/a>NBC Sports will have access to Rogers Sportsnet’s RefCam during the 2017 NHL All-Star Game. The technology has been used at the previous two All-Star Games\u00a0(2016\u2019s shown here).<\/p><\/div>\n
NBC is set to deploy 22 cameras, but the production team \u2014 headed by producer Matt Marvin and director Charlie Dammeyer \u2014 will have 39 feeds at their disposal; all the networks will be sharing each other\u2019s resources. The highlight of those shared resources will be RefCam. Rogers SportsNet will deploy the RF unit, which will be affixed to the head of a referee on the ice. The technology is being used at the\u00a0All-Star Game for the third straight year and has received acclaim from fans. It\u2019s used mostly in replays but does have the ability to be taken live.<\/p>\n
In its own arsenal, NBC will have\u00a0two Sony HDC-4300 super-slow-motion cameras and\u00a0two Grass Valley LDX C86 compact XtremeSpeed robotic cameras, the latter\u00a0provided by Fletcher Sports.\u00a0One of the LDX cameras will be positioned at center ice; the other, behind one of the\u00a0goals.<\/p>\n
NBC is also installing bench POV cameras, an RF handheld camera, and a \u201chothead\u201d camera\u00a0beneath the scoreboard to provide an aerial view of the ice\/action.<\/p>\n
On the graphics end, NBC has called on SMT to provide its\u00a0SportsCG\u00a0<\/b>(the main scorebug graphic),\u00a0NBC Studio Ticker, and\u00a0the NHL\u2019s official real-time scoring system, which it calls HITS.<\/p>\n
HITS supports the NHL year-round\u00a0through data collection, scoring administration, distribution of data to the teams and NHL headquarters, a broadcaster interface for easy use of data by broadcasters, and technological support for the arenas.<\/p>\n
With events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the league and the Skills Competition taking place on Saturday, all the festivities in Los Angeles will culminate in the NHL All-Star Game on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC, marking the first time this game has aired on broadcast television since 2004 (ABC).<\/p>\n
NEP\u2019s ND6 will serve as NBC Sports\u2019 main production truck at Staples Center, with support from ST28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
