00:00State-of-the-art monitors, cutting-edge technology, and highly trained professionals.
00:05This is how the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will implement the semi-automatic offside rule.
00:09Starting with the next round of the Brazilian Championship this weekend.
00:13In this room, the VAR operators receive the image directly from the game.
00:18of all the cameras installed in the stadium and here they make the bids
00:25It's processed semi-automatically, and only after it's finished does it go to the stadium's big screen.
00:30This is the screen where the plays are replayed semi-automatically by the VAR operators.
00:37The central panel here shows the intersection of all the images at the moment a goal is scored.
00:43And they'll be doing a real-time review, and you'll be able to follow along here on the play-by-play page.
01:00This one also stops at this point in time.
01:03Okay, okay.
01:06And now the intersection.
01:11They got the OK, now they're going to check if there was an offside in the play or not.
01:24The semi-automatic system is ready and now it's leaving these little operator screens.
01:28and it goes straight to the main screen of the match that is taking place in the stadium.
01:36After the semi-automatic review, the play is displayed on the stadium's big screen.
01:43Executives from Serie A clubs were present at the presentation of the initiative.
01:47and approved the changes that will be implemented.
01:50In my day, things were a little different.
01:53So athletes today have one more tool to improve their game.
01:59I think it's getting better.
02:00It's impossible to measure the degree of confidence.
02:03I know things improve when you have something that is more globally recognized.
02:08It has a tested technology, with a specific company that works with it.
02:12With 28 to 32 cameras installed in each stadium, the number of stadiums...
02:17So I think this brings greater certainty that the impediment procedures
02:23They will be error-free with virtually zero errors.
02:26Keep in mind that there is still human intervention involved, which is why it's called semi-automatic.
02:30Approximately 30 cell phones will be spread throughout all the stadiums hosting the games.
02:36from the Brazilian Championship and will have a direct internet connection to the VAR center.
02:41The use of technology reduces the time it takes to determine whether or not a play is offside by 33%.
