With 24 video channels, videoReferee®-5G/5GHS can meet all requirements at the KHL level and above.

4 inputs for high-speed 100/120 fps cameras

videoReferee®-5GHS supports up to 4 high-speed cameras. Reviewing footage from 4 SuperMotion cameras will allow the video referees to make a correct decision in the most difficult to assess zones of the court: the blue lines and the goal areas.

Hybrid video array

Hybrid SSD/HDD video array with 24 channels provides high speed recording and playback during system operation and at the same time provides a large amount of memory for the archive.

Additional workplaces

videoReferee®-5G/5GHS supports up to 5 independent remote workplaces, including a wireless tablet for the on-field referee. Each remote workplace operator works independently of the others.

The remote workplace option can help organize the referee infrastructure in accordance with the KHL regulations.

Remote workplaces option

Remote workplaces are used for the operation of the Situation Room and allows KHL referees and operators to make decisions independently of the rest of the arena staff.

Workplace organization and equipment

The system is equipped with 4 graphics ports for interface monitors. The referee workplace is equipped with a standard monitor, or a MultiTouch monitor with a gesture interface.

The dedicated Control-VR control panel provides fast operation and instant access to all cameras, presets, and other functions.

Referee buttons can be connected to the server for convenient event marking.

Event markup with reference to the active channel

Automatic tag creation while working with the scoreboard controller

Quick event search by tags

Synchronous search of the recorded material

Intuitive and high-performance interface for quick material review

Displaying 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 cameras simultaneously to analyze the controversial moment from different angles

Gadget Control

The Gadget Control option allows to connect to the server from a referee tablet via WI-FI. This allows the referee to search, view and analyze controversial game moments right on the playing field. The interface has intuitive gesture control.

Synchronizing video from non-synchronous cameras

videoReferee®-5G/5GHS can be used in various arenas, including those where the installed cameras are not externally synchronized. As a solution, SLOMO.TV has developed a technology that allows video synchronization from non-synchronous cameras when reviewing controversial moments.

To achieve absolute synchronicity, the videoReferee® replay system can be equipped with specialized mini-II-vR-Cam referee cameras that support CloudyGenlock® technology.

Game data control

videoReferee®-5G/5GHS supports two ways of integrating official game data:

  • Direct scoreboard controller connection and data output to the interface video window;
  • Game scoreboard broadcast overlay on the video windows.

At the end of the event, all game data will be saved and available for export.

To assist the operator, 35 RGB-illuminated buttons offer indications and prompts, while the technologically advanced Jog/Shuttle wheel, featuring four bearings and a Hall effect sensor, guarantees both precision and longevity of the assembly.
