instant replays
Broadcast do-overs
Instant replays are video recordings of an action played back immediately after it occurs, typically in sports broadcasting to let viewers see a key moment again—a disputed call, a spectacular play, a close finish.
The technology allows slow-motion review from multiple angles.
Beyond sports, instant replay extends to any immediate re-examination: Let's do an instant replay of what just happened in that meeting.
