CNBC got a behind-the-scenes look at Sony’s Hawk-Eye line-calling system to understand how the tech works in tennis and other major sports.
"During that match, the U.S. Open was trialing a Hawk-Eye system," said Clarey."The public had more information than the players. So, there was this big disparity between what people could see and what was actually happening on the court."
"In total here, we have 204 cameras...tracking the ball and the player across all 17 courts at the U.S. Open,"said Ben Figueiredo, the director of tennis at Hawk-Eye Innovations."We have 12 tracking cameras around all the courts. And then we also have six foot-fault cameras." "Hawk-Eye is approved on the surface of clay," said Figueiredo."It's the tournament's choice as to whether they use Hawk-Eye."
The system is also used in other major American sports, including the WNBA, MLS and NFL. In the upcoming NBA season, Hawk-Eye will be used for skeletal tracking and officiating support.
