Instant Replay

Instant replay for rodeo and bull riding

The buzzer sounds and the replay is on the screen seconds later. Good for the judges, who get another look at a call. Better for the crowd, who get to see the ride again while they're still on their feet about it.

Replay is only as good as the angle

A replay from the wrong side of the arena tells nobody anything. That's why replay and multi-camera go together: our system takes up to three camera inputs, and the director picks the angle that actually shows what happened.

We know the shot is at the gate, not the middle of the arena, and we know the difference between a two-second ride and eight. That's the part you can't rent from a general AV company.

For the judges as well as the crowd

Plenty of committees bring us in for the crowd and then find the judges using it. A contested call, a barrier question, a re-ride decision — having the footage up in seconds takes the argument out of it.

Replay stingers and graphics

A replay stinger is the short branded animation that wipes into the replay. One is included as standard, and you can add more — one per sponsor is common, so a sponsor gets their name on screen every time something worth replaying happens.

  • Custom graphics package: leaderboards, lower thirds, a time clock, replay graphics and branded backgrounds, matched to your organization's look.
  • Additional replay stingers, priced per stinger.
  • Sponsor playback between sections, run on a schedule that doesn't slip when the show runs long.

Common questions

How fast is the replay?
Seconds. The buzzer sounds and it's on the screen — while the crowd is still reacting and while the judges still have the call in front of them.
Can our judges use the replay for calls?
Yes, and plenty do. We put the footage up; how your judges use it is between them and your rulebook.
How many camera angles do you replay from?
Our system takes up to three camera inputs. Two operators is standard, three is the maximum, and the director cuts the replay from whichever angle shows the ride best.
Do you provide the graphics and stingers?
One replay stinger is included as standard. Beyond that we offer a custom graphics package — leaderboards, lower thirds, time clock and branded backgrounds — plus additional stingers if you want one per sponsor.
