00:00Bueno, estamos con Henry Shepard, que es el encargado del sistema de chequeo de este torneo Norseca con respecto a
00:12la revisión de cámaras.
00:14Henry, bienvenido a la República Dominicana.
00:17Gracias.
00:18Me gustaría saber, para las personas que nos están siguiendo, ¿qué tipo de tecnología tienes aquí en la República Dominicana
00:26para este campeonato Norseca?
00:28¡Ah, campeonato!
00:29Para este campeonato aquí tenemos tres principales técnicas de tecnología.
00:34Primero, tenemos el sistema de tracking, para replicar los jueces de la línea de la línea.
00:40Para eso tenemos ocho camas de tracking rigadas en el área de la línea.
00:46También tenemos el sistema de video, y para eso tenemos i-fones en el net y regular camas de la
00:54línea de la línea.
00:55Así que, 14 camas de total para el sistema de desafío y 8 a la línea de la línea de
01:00la línea de la línea de la línea.
01:02También nos da un problema de fotodrellas.
01:05Entonces, utilizando las camas de la línea de servicio y las camas de la línea de la línea de traqueo,
01:11estamos dispuestos a distinguir cuando un jugador imprega un fotodrellas automáticamente.
01:17Ok, hay algo que he visto en los juegos sobre la bola, como donde la bola se encuentra.
01:28¿Tiene que ser un desafío o hay lugares donde puedes enviar un mensaje al refiero en la sede?
01:37¿O tienes que hacer el desafío cada vez?
01:42Para la bola dentro y fuera, es una animación que está usando la posición de la bola real y está
01:50calculada por nuestras cameras de tráfico.
01:53El resultado es enviado a la tableta, que se mantiene en el primer refestando y tenemos que enviar la animación,
02:01que está construida directamente.
02:03Ok, you said before that the line judges have been eliminated as well, can you tell me something about that?
02:13Why can't you eliminate the line judges?
02:17A tough one, I think it's more, I don't want to maybe give my own opinion, but it's just creating
02:26a system where there's absolutely no bias and is extremely, extremely accurate.
02:33Just improving the general sense of the game.
02:38Why iPhones?
02:41Well, I mean, if anyone has an iPhone 17, I think we all know how incredible the camera quality is.
02:49And they're really good to set up, easy to set up, and the camera quality is just as good, if
02:55not better, than normal cameras.
02:56Do you know how much it takes to build a system like that in a court?
03:04Monetary value?
03:05Yeah.
03:06Ah, I'm not sure.
03:08Sorry.
03:10Because it might be really, really expensive.
03:14Yeah, it's probably quite a bit amount of money, yeah.
03:17So, for the set up, how many days did you have to be here before the beginning of the tournament
03:24to do the whole set up?
03:27So, for this event, we had a three day set up, and we could likely do it in two, but
03:33the extra day just gives us more security to be fully match ready.
03:37And how do you test it?
03:39How do we test?
03:41Usually, on the day before matches, there's lots of training sessions.
03:45So, we can test the tracking system, make sure everything's working, test animations, and we can also run through drills
03:52for our challenge system,
03:54and so everyone's up to speed, and making sure that all the camera quality is good, and that everything is
03:59working perfectly.
04:00Henry, you're 21 years old, and you're running a really technician system.
04:08Tell me, what do you study, and how do you get into this world?
04:13So, I'm still at university.
04:16I'm studying mathematics at Bath, and I really got into it.
04:22My university offers a really good placement scheme, trying to get people in the industry working.
04:27I found out about Vault 6 through a friend.
04:31I looked into it.
04:32I thought what they were doing with technology was really cool, and I really wanted to get involved.
04:38Delivering challenge system, all this technology at live sporting events.
04:42Some of the biggest in the world, especially here.
04:44Massive tournament.
04:46And I applied.
04:47I got the job.
04:49And Vault 6 is really good at giving opportunities to younger people, trying to get in.
04:55And you're rewarded well if you put in the work, and you're given the opportunities to prove it.
05:00And that's how I'm here.
05:01Vault 6 works with any other sports than volleyball?
05:06Yeah.
05:06So, we work a lot in tennis.
05:08We do golf, baseball, getting into basketball, and quite a few other sports.
05:14Actually, you do baseball?
05:15Yeah.
05:16Oh, that's good.
05:18Can I know where?
05:20Mainly in the US right now.
05:22Mainly in the US, but MLB?
05:24Yeah.
05:25Oh, that's good.
05:26I didn't know that.
05:27Yeah.
05:27So, you help with the challenge system in MLB?
05:33In baseball, we're more providing augmented reality and stats over the broadcast cameras.
05:39Yeah.
05:41That's good.
05:42Thank you very much, sir.
05:43Thank you.
