NFL Network’s coverage of the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine features the following technological enhancements:
Simulcam Camera Technology: For the 10th year at the Combine, the Simulcam provides an unparalleled, in-depth comparison and analysis of the position, style, speed and trajectory of competitors through the use of background recognition and camera-matching technology. Simulcam will be a key contributor to NFL Network’s 40-yard dash coverage. Returning this year, NFL Network’s Simulcam technology during 40-yard dash coverage will feature on-screen identifiers to better identify runners from either current or previous years.
NFLN-Focus Camera Technology: A high-speed camera that allows moving targets to stay in the camera frame longer, highlighting the smallest details. It will have a tremendous presence in coverage of the 40-yard dash, both at the start and finish line, and will also be used in other events including the vertical and broad jumps, three-cone and position drills
Cablecam Technology: The Cablecam returns to offer a unique overhead view which gives viewers a new way of following each drill and a more intimate feeling that they are present in Indianapolis.
