New Hi-Def Technology Used in March Madness

This Year’s March Madness Referees Have Hi-Def Instant Replay For The First Time

March 20, 2015

To help the referees get calls correct and eliminate some of the controversy and chaos, NCAA officials for both the men’s and women’s tournament will have high-definition instant replay for the first time thanks to DVSport.

Giuliano's Comment: DVSport is already known for providing  professional and college teams software that allows coaches and players to use laptops to break down film of themselves or the opponent. This allows teams to study their competition to gain advantage in the game. It also allows teams to study their movements to improve on their skills. I believe this technology allows the game to be more competitive. To see who study their components better. High definition is going to grow in the sport industry to allow officals and referees to make the correct calls in the game.

Three-time NBA All-Star and Most Valuable Player in 2011, Derrick Rose, recently had his second surgery on the same torn meniscus in his right knee that he tore in 2013 playing against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Giuliano's Comment: Derrick Rose is a valuable player in the NBA organization. However, his right knee is still determining if he will be able to return. He has recently gotten surgery for the second time on that knee on February 27th. The doctors say the surgery went well, and predicted a 4-6 week of rehabilitation to possible return to the court. The three main devices that will give Derrick Rose the strength to play in the NBA again are working on a solid pro dual leg extension or curl machine daily. Also, when he walks, run, or plays basketball he should always have an X-Factor knee brace. The finally device to rehabilitate his knee is Rose could use therapeutic ultrasound administration to bring pulse frequencies through the knee to lessen the pain.

The Orlando Magic is in talks with tech vendor VenueNext to help upgrade mobile technology at Amway Center for next season, team CEO Alex Martins said.

Giuliano's Comment: VenueNext is a company that uses technology to enhance the fans experience in the stadium. Venuenext developed the mobile application for Levi's stadium. The Magic team wants to completely mobilize for next season, whether it's food and beverage, retail, replays, and stats. These next round of tech upgrades will come from a capital expenditures fund tied to the facility fee for all tickets sold for all events at Amway Center. Other improvements include upgrade of the entire north end was open. Now there is more seating and a 20,000-square-foot plaza for fans.
