Hawk-Eye Replay is underpinned by a global 24/7 support structure and a dedicated client manager responsible for overseeing all support needs. With comprehensive training for operators, engineers, and production staff available for onboarding.
Operator onboarding
Through an intuitive controller and UI design the transition for operators is simplified and training times significantly reduced. Operators have full control to customise their controller, sidecar and workspace with up to four operator controlled multiviews per server.
