Carry out, with camera control support, the colourimetry correction of the Ultra Motion cameras on the goal line (UM1 and UM2), ensuring they are as similar as possible to the broadcast cameras.
Monitor the correct functioning of the system during the match, intervening with the help of the onsite news station in case of problems.
At the end of the match, upload all the data requested by EPTS Remote Support, then help the Video Technical Guarantee (VTG) and GLT Operator with the disassembly activities.
