Mark Cuban says Mavericks, AAC about to deploy innovative video technology
that will “make watching a game crazy”
库班：美航中心布署的创新影像科技将会让"看球赛更疯!"
WASHINGTON – Owner Mark Cuban and by extension his Mavericks are about to
score another NBA technology first.
库班将让小牛成为第一个体验新科技的球队
Cuban said Wednesday that company in which he has invested – freeD (Free
Dimensional Video) – has completed six weeks of installing high-resolution
cameras in the American Airlines Center rafters and will begin testing a
revolutionary product as soon as Friday, when the Mavericks host the Lakers.
周三，库班投资的freeD公司在六周的工程后，在美航中心的椽子上装上了高解析相机
在周五面对湖人的比赛中将开始测试。
Sports fans may recall having seen freeD’s technology in use during recent
NFL games and the 2014 NBA All-Star Game.
某些球迷或许已经在最近的NFL比赛以及14年的NBA All-Star Game看过freeD的功能了。
With the high-resolution cameras, data collected from the digital images and
software, any video image can be frozen and turned 360 degrees, giving fans
seeing the images on the AAC videoboard and viewers watching Fox Sports
Southwest telecasts highly unique views of the action.
借由高分辨率相机以及软件，可将拍摄到的数位影像转换成3D资讯，可暂停画面并且
360度旋转，由fox台转播，球迷可以在球场中的大萤幕看到从许多独特的视角所看到
的画面。
Cuban said the software also can, for example, take any byte and transform
that into views – “For example, right at the jump ball, what does Tyson
(Chandler) see? It literally recreates that perspective.
举例来说，当跳球的时候，在拳王眼中的画面所见到的到底是什么样的？
FreeD可实际重建拳王的视角所看到的画面。
“If the ball goes out of bounds and you want to see who touches it, you’ll
be able to spin the whole thing and look from any angle.
如果球碰出了界外，而且判断是谁碰的球，FreeD可以从任何角度来重播画面。
“The secret sauce is it converts (the high-resolution video) to actual data,
” Cuban said. “And the double secret sauce is from that data, you can
recreate any of the visuals. So from this, that is recreated into data. From
using the software, you can look at it from any angle.”
FreeD的独门科技是它可以将高画质的影像转换成实际数据。另外，从数据中你可以重建
任何视角、画面，你可以从各种角度去重播。
Cuban said he doesn’t believe the testing phase will take long, though he can
’t say for certain how soon the technology will be in full use at Mavericks
home games.
库班表示虽然不知道什么时候可以完成测试，但是他相信在近期内就可以完成。
And, yes, because NBA replay officials in Secaucus, N.J. will have access to
the Fox SW video feeds, they will be able to use the freeD technology to
confirm or reverse calls.
另外，因为NBA官方重播是观看FOX台的影像，所以可以之后在小牛主场的比赛可以透过
FreeD科技来重播判定。
Cuban said that becoming an investor gave him exclusivities. Initially, the
Mavericks will be the only NBA team to have the technology for videoboard and
TV replays.
因为库班本身是FreeD的投资人，所以小牛将是联盟第一支球队可以享受FreeD科技的队伍
。
Other NBA teams will be able to purchase the technology for those videoboard
and local TV use _ which in turn will make Cuban money _but the Mavericks
will be the only team allowed to use the technology from an analytics
standpoint.
其他球队之后也可以购买FreeD，来填饱库班的钱包。但是小牛是唯一可以使用FreeD所
撷取的资讯来进行分析的队伍。（爽啦 A_A）
The Mavericks and most NBA teams currently use SportVu cameras in arena
rafters to gather information such as speed, distance, player separation and
ball possession data.
目前小牛以及多数的球队都是使用SportVu 相机来蒐集速度、距离、球员以及球的位置等
资讯。
“It’ll blow away SportVu, just blow it away,” Cuban said.
“And, for fans, watching a game is going to be crazy.”
库班：FreeD将会电爆SportVu，球迷看球也会更爽！
