Aerial photography or mainstream

In the NFL regular season eleventh frequency first started Thursday night game, home court sits Pittsburgh Steelers 40-17 victory over Tennessee Titan. However, apart from the Steelers star Antonio Brown took over the hot outside, there is one thing more to attract people’s attention, is responsible for the broadcast of the NBC television and NFL radio network using aerial cameras (Skycam) to provide broadcast main perspective of the game, to the television and the network side of the audience to bring a new viewing experience.

From the perspective of madden

As the name suggests, aerial cameras are naturally suspended in the sky. It is supported by cables, suspended over the stadium, moved and photographed by the control of the staff and computer. At present, this technology has been widely used in sports events broadcast. For the players, it’s just a camera hanging in the air, but for the audience in front of the TV, it can provide a different perspective. Watching the football game, you seem to stand in the quarterback behind, and he read together to pass observation target, avoid mobile defender rushed, like most of the Madden NFL (famous football game) perspective, therefore also known as “Madden perspective”.

Thick fog bowl

In the previous NFL broadcast, aerial photography is mainly for the broadcast of the game to provide an auxiliary perspective, especially in the replay from different angles to further analyze the field of attack and defense contest. But in the seventh week of the season Atlanta falcons at the new England patriots in the game, due to the fog affected the main view of shooting, broadcast the NBC launched an emergency air camera as the main, anyhow is completed on work. Perhaps it was inspired or inspired, and ultimately, NBC and NFL jerseys cheap decided that the air camera would be the main player on Thursday night of the Eleventh week!

Mixed criticism

Whether it’s in the game or after the game, the topic of the new main perspective continues to cause heated debate on the internet. NFL official website reporter Ian Rapoport on twitter said, “feeling like watching a video game.”…… Cool! So far, I like it.”

The official twitter wrote: “aerial view of a perfect demonstration of how Mario Kobita was thrown out of the interception.” Immersive, like their own game, and even the general visual experience on the field, is a big reason for the camera viewing angle sought after. By this point, you can search for the ball and quarterback together, and run together to move Teng wei. When you get a good shot, you sigh, that’s exactly where you should go, and choose the right thing to do. When the unnecessary copy is lost, the feeling is…… You know it’s bad when you hand it out. This sense of substitution naturally wins the favor of many people.

But the turnip greens, all have love, but also a lot of opposition. Sports journalist and television commentator Travis Cray wrote: “this game can Bimaliao tower worse aerial camera.” (Note: The Titans quarterback Mario Tabern field came 4 steals). The Kansas City Star receiver tailike – Hill on Twitter to ask: “who also feel aerial weird?”

Even the fans wrote: “some people because the players on the national anthem at the ceremony instead of watching NFL nike jerseys. The rest are because of aerial photography.” Compared with the traditional midfield perspective, the coverage of aerial photography is not wide enough, it is not convenient to see the overall changes on the scene, and there is a congenital disadvantage in distance judgment. The players’ running path and movement state are not intuitive from the traditional angle of view, and it is often difficult to see the first line of attack. As the main angle of view, it seems less competent.

In addition to direct praise and poor assessment, some people think that more time is needed to consider and evaluate this new broadcast host perspective. In addition, it is also an idea to provide viewers with different main perspectives for viewing during the relay.

Future pending

According to ESPN sports network reports, NBC is not sure whether to insist on using aerial photography as the main angle of view in the future competition, while NFL broadcasting network indicates that they will continue to try in the future competition. For the development history of NFL relay technology, this is a new chapter, or doomed to be forgotten, and can only wait for time to give us answers.
