A-LEAGUE fans will get to see Sunday’s grand final like never before with the Fox Sports innovations team introducing a special mini “ultra motion” camera to the coverage.
The innovations team responsible for bringing FoxKopter, Zings stumps, and ref and corner post cam to the Australian sports broadcast landscape, has teamed with Gearhouse Australia to import a specialty mini-ultra motion camera called an Antelope Pico.
The camera has been used for a UEFA Champions League match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich and in Bundesliga action in Germany. Watch the video for an idea of what’s possible this weekend.
While Fox Sports producers have access to ultra slow motion cameras they are usually much larger. The small size of the Pico, which will be mounted on a pole cam behind the goal, allows vision of angles never before seen in Australian football coverage.
Todd Procter, Head of Innovations and Outside Broadcast Special Events, said the team would run this camera around 350 frames per second, capturing all the goal mouth action and replaying key moments.
Normal broadcast cameras shoot at 25fps.
“I can’t wait … this will produce some really magnificent moments in broadcast television,” Procter said.
