Dear Reader,

Two innovation drivers are jointly setting the course for a successful future in the match data and sports technology business: DFL and Deltatre, the global market leader in fan-first experiences, announced their intention today to give their joint subsidiary Sportec Solutions a global profile. Read more in this newsletter.
Another key topic is DFL’s media production which is continuously developed further thanks to the specialist subsidiary Sportcast. In this issue you will learn about the new UHD/HDR technology, a track-mounted camera system, and the Robotic Camera which follows individual players across the entire pitch automatically using live tracking data.
Have fun reading!

Railcam – a new way to experience the dynamics of a match
|
|
For the first time DFL has used a camera running on tracks in Bundesliga broadcasts. Capable of speeds of up to five metres per second, the Railcam lets viewers experience the dynamics of rapid moves from a unique perspective.

|
Tracking data keep the pros in focus with the Robotic Camera
|
|
DFL has been using a new, automated camera system since Matchday 5 of the 2020-21 Bundesliga season: The Robotic Camera locks on to a selected player and follows him fully automatically across the entire pitch using live tracking data.

UHD/HDR – enabling even more brilliant football broadcasts
|
|
Cooperating with Sky Deutschland, DFL once again offers viewers an improved image quality: High Dynamic Range (HDR) delivers a wide colour gamut and a higher frame rate while reducing motion blurring.
