How Does Ultra Edge Technology Work in Cricket: Currently IPL (IPL 2024) is going on. Cricket fans sit down holding the TV as soon as the match starts. Many times you must have seen that ultra-edge technology is used during matches. This technology is part of the Decision Review System i.e. DRS, through which the sound created by bats, pads and clothes can be detected. But very few people know how this technology works. Come, let us know about it.
Actually, Ultra-Edge Technology is a system by which it is detected whether the ball has touched the bat or not. This is an advanced version of Snickometer. It is used for edge detection. Let us tell you that after test and verification, the International Cricket Council (ICC) had approved its use. Nowadays it is being used in every format.
How does ultra-edge technology work?
Actually, there is a system of stump mic behind the bat. At the same time, cameras are installed around the field. These cameras keep an eye on the ball and the sound it makes. After the ball hits the bat, it provides a special sound, which is picked up by the stump mic. After this it is detected on the tracking screen. In such a situation, if the ball touches the bat even slightly, it is detected and a decision is taken whether to give out or not.
How does a stump mic work?
Actually, the mic present in the stump differentiates between the sound emanating from the bat, pad and body on the basis of frequency level. As soon as the ball hits or hits the bat, cameras located on either side of the batsman at opposite ends of the field track the ball for a photographic representation. After this the sound microphone picks up the sound based on the motion and sends it to the oscilloscope. This oscilloscope shows the sound frequency level in waves. After this, the combination of camera and stump mic helps in deciding whether the ball has touched the bat or not.
