Intel said late Tuesday that it is buying Replay Technologies, an Israeli company that helps sports broadcasters show a panoramic view of the action.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Intel also wouldn’t say how many employees Replay has, but said the team will continue to be led by current CEO Oren Yogev.
The two companies worked together on a project for the recent NBA All-Star game, and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has been talking up the coming intersection between the worlds of sports and technology.
Replay’s "freeD" technology allows viewers to see replays from virtually any angle, thanks to multiple high-resolution cameras and a whole lot of computing horsepower.
The company last week said it had closed a $13.5 million Series B funding round that brought its total amount raised to $27 million. The round was led by the venture capital arm of Deutsche Telekom.
Here’s an example of the technology in action as the Baltimore Ravens’ Justin Tucker kicks a 50-yard field goal.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
