Velocity tracking equipment manufacturer Pocket Radar is incorporating its speed triggering capabilities into streamlining the functionality of Edgertronic cameras. 

Used by all Major League Baseball teams, Edgertronic high speed video cameras provide slow-motion video grabs at high frame rates. 

With the integration of these two technologies, clubs will be able to zero in on specific actions when analysing performance, something that was previously beyond the reach of modern technology.

The Edgertronic technology was originally designed for markets outside of sport, but has found a home in baseball.

Mike Matter, Edgertronic founder and CEO, said: “We designed the edgertronic cameras for the expected markets: aerospace, defense, research, manufacturing, etc, so we were a little surprised to see their rapid adoption by MLB.

“Baseball is big-data, and the technical sophistication of MLB teams should come as no surprise. Teams are striving to streamline and automate their workflow, so we’ve worked with the Pocket Radar team to integrate our advanced technologies.”
