NBA AND SONY''S HAWK EYE INNOVATIONS LAUNCH

Is this good news for NBA optical modules

ATLANTA — The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Sony's Hawk-Eye Innovations, the leading provider of officiating and tracking technology in sports, today announced a multi-year partnership, beginning with the 2023-24 season, to deploy Hawk-Eye's 3D optical tracking. Now, as we head into the 2025-26 season, the sport stands on the threshold of a new era where digital innovation could reshape not only how basketball is played, but how it's viewed, analyzed and experienced. Here are some of the ways the game may evolve — and what to pay attention to this season. The partnership with represents a significant step forward for the league's technology. Hawk-Eye Innovations, the UK-based video technology company owned by Sony, is to provide its 3D optical tracking technology to the National Basketball Association (NBA), North America's basketball league, from the 2023-24 season.

Eye Diagram Indicators of Optical Modules

Eye diagram (eye pattern) explained: signal integrity,jitter,bit-error rate (BER),and termination effects. Constant binary 1 and 0 levels are shown, as well as transitions from 0 to 1, 1 to 0, 0 to 1 to 0, and 1 to 0 to 1. In telecommunications, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope. Dissecting Eye Diagram Parameters: Gaining Insight into Key Indicators of Signal Quality Extinction ratio, as one of the key parameters in the eye diagram of optical modules, is like a precise "balance" that. Fundamentally, an eye diagram is a graphical representation of a digital signal's quality, formed by repeatedly capturing and superimposing multiple signal periods on an oscilloscope display. This parameter indicates the vertical margin between logic "1" and logic "0", reflecting the noise tolerance of the transmitted optical signal.

Five Small Innovations in Fusion Splicing Optical Cables

This white paper by our partner Furukawa Electric explores the latest advancements in fusion splicing technology. New fiber designs are taking over, such as multicore, hollow-core, ultra-thin, or tapered fibers. They offer lower latency, higher capacity and transmission, and unlock new possibilities in telecommunications, industrial lasers, and photonics. Research teams in the South Pole use ruggedized splicing equipment in -40°C weather to maintain communication lines to orbiting satellites. Fusion Splicing is an established technology for jointing Optical Fibers together. Unlike mechanical splicing, which relies on alignment sleeves and index-matching gel, this thermal approach creates a continuous glass path between fibers.
