The Northwestern University Department of Athletics and Recreation has implemented ZEPLAY from Tightrope Media Systems to ensure seamless instant replay during live sports events. The system replaced a competing replay solution used in the university's mobile production truck.
Rapid Replay Reliability
ZEPLAY's reliability has increased game day efficiency, allowing operators to quickly capture and send signals to video boards at Ryan Field (football) and Welsh-Ryan Arena (basketball, volleyball, and wrestling). The system's eight feeds enable independent control of every output channel and a built-in multiviewer for monitoring all angles.
Faster Operator Training
The university's Broadcast Operations department has seen accelerated training times for student operators, who can now quickly learn the system and produce high-quality highlights. Senior Director of Broadcast Operations Rob Coons credits ZEPLAY with providing a quick learning curve and robust replay capabilities.
