2. Starting with the video capturing, there are at least 16-21 cameras used on the cricket field placed at different locations to bring you the various views.These could be as small as a stump camera and as advanced as the super slow motion camera used behind the bowler’s arm to provide high quality replays. All cameras are connected to a video mixer inside the Out-Brodcast (OB) van. The director and the operator sitting on the mixer can switch to any of these cameras while broadcasting.
3. Graphics is one of the most exciting parts of the whole match production saga and uses computers in more ways than one. A skilled data entry operator records each ball boweld in a cricket match on custom-made software, made specifically for a broadcast company.
4. For every ball bowled, the scorekeeper may need to do 14 to 16 mouse clicks on the notebook. These clicks are on the custom-made software’s screen, capturing various aspects of the game starting from the runs scored, where the ball was played, did the ball swing? Was it a defensive shot?Where tha ball pitched on the pitch, the fielder who fielded the ball, runs saved by the fieldr, etc.One is the ad hoc machine (which also serves as the server) and the other a Score-Ticker machine. Both are windows 2000 based workstations. The score machine is used to give the most generic grahic information to be displayed on the screen. This may include all informa tion you see in the corner of the screen (runs/wickets/targets,etc). The layout for these graphics is predecided and the information update dynamically from the database on the server. The other machine, i.e, the ad hoc machine gives you the entire special graphics that you see on the screen. These may include player statistics, wagon wheels showing where the player scored his runs, etc. Not only that, but the operator can key in the data and make and adhoc garphic based on the data provided to him by the scorer. The graphics are then sent to the vision mixer in either analog or digital format. This is then superimposed on the live action happening on the field. The systems can also use a moving graphic instead of the live broadcast.
5. The sound in the broadcast of a cricket match is as important as the video if not more. There are various sound sources that are controlled by a sound controller using an audio mixer, in various channels located in the OB van and then broadcast.
6. As we have seen above there is a lot happening together. The cameras giving the video feed, the graphics machines providing all the indulging graphics, replays, super slow motions, historic database managments, etc.From the OB van the feed including the graphics are broadcast to a satellite, not to your house; not yet. They are sent to an ‘Earth Station’. The station can be nearby, in the same vicinity or could be millions of miles away. You maywonder why they can’t directly broadcast it to your house. Among others, there’s one simple reason. The broadcaster needs to do business and the business comes from advertisments. So the Earth Stattion takes care of this task. Other tasks may also include inserting the logo of the channel on the screen. The feed is then fed to various cable operators through a satellite again. And finally, the feed comes to your house. And you thought a flick of a switch on your remote would start a cricket match!
