I actually don't think appropriate infrastructure exists to make every camera high speed. I mean the camera itself is easily $150,000+ and then you'd need the systems, storage, switches and everything to support the output. The sort of storage and PCs needed for slow motion are very expensive and I'm not sure the interconnect systems would be good enough.
I don't think every camera needs to be though. The time we'll need it is for decisions like that and it will pretty much always be cantered on the ball. One following the ball would be good, two would be better.

Haven't we already had it, I seem to remember 'super slow mo' or similar a few years ago.

Yeah there are a few slow mo cameras at the ground, depending on the match. Not usually more than 1-2

Interesting. Is every single camera 1000 FPS slow mo capable? How many cameras do they use?
I don't know, but they are always able to get a slow motion, reasonably close up slow motion replay with a high speed frame rate. It's pretty cool when you see a challenge and the multiple slow motion angles they show. Although I guess the camera's only need to be running for the duration of a play and then they aren't needed for another 30-40 seconds or longer for the high majority of the time.

lol, I'm sure REX wish they could do a lot of what American Airlines are able to do too.
Well, considering digital quality is the way of the future, they will look back on these years as a lost opportunity to better document their history. IMO.

Weitering is more impressive than Lever. He will be the best number 1 pick for along time.
That's just such a negative comment from someone who can't see any good in any Crows player ......why exactly do you follow the Crows ....no other team will accept you ? ;)
