Repetitionsreplays

Repetitionsreplays is a broadcast and analytics concept describing a set of tools and workflows that automatically generate repeated viewings of a game moment. The approach combines instant event detection with flexible playback options to allow viewers or analysts to inspect a single moment from multiple perspectives and at various speeds. The term is used in sports broadcasting, esports production, and video analysis to describe loops, slowed-down replays, and multi-angle presentations derived from a single incident.

Functionality includes automatic tagging of significant events using metadata, player and ball tracking, and computer vision. Repetitionsreplays can render multiple replay variants such as fast-forward loops, slow-motion sequences, and picture-in-picture displays that synchronize commentary and on-screen statistics. Users can usually control the playback mode, angles, and speed.

Applications include live broadcast augmentation, post-game highlight packages, coaching and performance review, training materials, and interactive viewer platforms that let audiences select preferred angles or loop lengths.

Origins and scope: while not tied to a single organization, the concept gained traction with advances in real-time video processing and analytics in the 2010s and 2020s, particularly in professional sports and esports. It complements traditional instant replays by emphasizing repetition and comparative viewing rather than a single highlight moment.

Related ideas include instant replay, multicam replay systems, time-slice replays, and data-driven highlight generation.
