The event will be held during February and March in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and RSA engineers will be ensuring the required technology is in place. During each match, either side will have the chance to challenge an umpire’s decision. Each review will then be assessed and verified by the third umpire using various technologies such as the stump microphones, ‘hotspot’ and ‘hawkeye’. The actual challenge for RSA, as DRS engineers, will be to ensure that each piece of equipment works as it should and that the secure communications between the third umpire and on field officials operate trouble-free in each country at each venue. RSA specialises in broadcast engineering services at live sporting events.
