In addition to the that coaches and players use, there is a new way that Microsoft Surface will be transforming the game this season.
Surface Pro 4 is an integral part of the new Instant Replay system.
Instant Replay
Over the last four years, Microsoft Surface has helped empower players and coaches to make better, faster and more accurate decisions on the sidelines and in the coach’s booths.
Beginning this season, NFL referees will have a similar on-field experience as other NFL personnel by utilizing Microsoft Surface throughout the updated Instant Replay process.
As already seen during the preseason, in all NFL stadiums this season, there will be two portable instant-replay systems, one at each end of the field. Each will feature a and a headset that will be brought directly to referees on the field when they need to review a call or during a coach’s challenge, enabling faster access. Video will stream to the Surface devices via a wired connection, allowing the referee to review the play while conferring with the in-stadium instant replay booth as well as the NFL in New York. Final decisions will be made by the NFL officiating staff in New York in consultation with the referee.
An Instant Replay system is positioned at each end of the field, ready to be deployed.
