NASCAR Employs Comprehensive Samsung Surveillance Setup
Samsung's cutting-edge digital displays have taken centre stage in NASCAR's new remote race control room, marking a significant leap in race-day precision for the popular motorsport. The partnership between Samsung and NASCAR will see Samsung displays being integrated into NASCAR Productions' control room, starting with the remote race control room.
The star of the show is Samsung's The Wall, a massive 32-foot wide and 9-foot tall display. This large-scale screen will show real-time information such as onboard camera feeds, Engine Control Units (ECUs), optical tracking camera feeds, Pit Road Officiating (PRO) systems, and official cameras at various key locations. With The Wall, officials will have unparalleled views of over 200 camera angles and multiple data points from every car.
In addition to The Wall, officials will also use a total of 32 Samsung monitors, including 25 27-inch ViewFinity S6 high-resolution monitors and seven 49-inch Odyssey G9 monitors. These displays will provide officials with comprehensive, real-time video, audio, and data from the track, enabling detailed and immediate review of race events and improving decision-making efficiency and accuracy during live events.
The SBG Sports Software system, used in the control room, can aggregate up to 200 camera angles, all driver audio, and voice-to-text transcription of team radio transmissions. This system will be integrated with The Wall, allowing up to 24 officials in the room to access replays from the system.
The remote race control room, housed in NASCAR's production facility in Concord, North Carolina, will also provide officials with live feeds and intercom communications from the track. This setup will allow for faster and more accurate competition calls, ultimately improving the NASCAR Cup Series.
The partnership between Samsung and NASCAR aims to pave the future of motorsports. By embracing remote and technologically advanced workflows, NASCAR Productions can reduce dependence on physical presence, promote cost efficiencies, and scale operations in race management.
From a fan experience perspective, although not explicitly stated, such advanced displays typically improve broadcast quality and engagement by enabling better coverage visuals and dynamic content that can be relayed to viewers through various media channels.
More information about this exciting partnership can be found on Samsung's website. The remote race control room will be operational for the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series, starting with the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 2. This partnership is set to deliver footage and data with the finest level of detail, ushering in a new era of precision and innovation for NASCAR.
