TBS to Use 3D Hologram Imagery During MLB Postseason Games

  • TBS announced it will present its postseason Major League Baseball programming with added features like 3D holographic images.
  • “Specifically, TBS says it will use ‘innovative 3D imagery [to] illustrate detailed examples of pitch grips while demonstrating the pressure points, release points and rotation. Analysts will use the tool to explain how pitches work and how the hitter approaches each type of pitch,'” TV Technology reports.
  • “The network will also triple the number of super slo-mo cameras it typically uses during the postseason,” notes the article. “It will again integrate Bloomberg Sports statistics into the telecasts, and use Pitch Trax in-game pitching location technology during its coverage.”
  • The 2012 MLB postseason will kick off this week with TBS’s first-ever Wild Card game coverage on October 5.
  • “In the first year of the new postseason format, two Wild Card teams in each league will play a single-elimination game with each winner advancing to compete with the three division championship from its respective leagues in the Division Series,” the article explains.
  • Turner Sports has created a Facebook page as well as Twitter accounts and hashtags to increase participation.
