This may look like a basic computer monitor but it's quite a miracle of technology. Built specifically for CNN/Sports Illustrated, we call it our triage area. Incoming video is recorded, logged, and then sent straight to an editor without the person ever having to get up from their chair.
How this handy machine works:
As a sporting event is taking place, a logger watches and keeps track of the action. The triage actually digitizes the incoming video. When the logger sees a good play, she marks it and it automatically goes to an editing machine. Editors piece together the plays that are sent to them while the game is still in progress. This gives us up-to-the-minute highlights of numerous simultaneous sporting events. It also eliminates the need to run tapes back and forth to the editors. Pretty neat, huh? We're still amazed by it.
