36 Reasons Tech Investors Should Watch the Super Bowl This Sunday
By Michael A. Robinson
Dear Strategic Tech Investor Reader,
Many of my friends and colleagues in Silicon Valley are disappointed by the lack of Oakland Raiders or San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's big game.
But really, even with this community's two favorite teams missing, Super Bowl 50 could re-brand itself as the Silicon Valley Bowl.
First off, the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers are set to square off in Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium, right in the heart of the Valley.
Moreover, CBS Sports is using the edgiest, most innovative camera technology I've ever seen to record and broadcast the game.
For instance, the pylon camera makes it Super Bowl debut this year. With these high-resolution cameras - stuffed inside all eight end-zone pylons - fans will get a field-level view of the action in 2K resolution. And the aerial Wildcat camera can travel 25 mph - twice as fast as previous SkyCams - along its web of wires above the field, meaning it can outrun the players.
But I'm most excited about a new replay camera system that gives one of the trends we've long been following here a Super Bowl debut.
Sports broadcasting serves as a testing ground and showcase for TV and camera technology - after all, last year's game was the most-watched show in U.S. television history. And so the debut of this new replay cam tells me that ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) is primed to become widely adopted by global consumers.
This technology is now so significant that it's beginning to disrupt the entire TV sector - enough so that UHDTV sets will earn a 50% market share by the end of this decade - making them a $30.4 billion market.
That's a market that promises to be highly profitable - and so we want to grab a piece of it.
