Summary

Interesting Things with JC #1773: "The Clock Behind Instant Replay" – Two instant-replay feeds showing the same moment can reach officials milliseconds apart. Every step through processing, switching, transmission, encoding, and decoding can add hidden latency, so replay has to determine when each frame actually occurred instead of trusting when it arrived.
