- Four Professional Telephones of iPhone 17 will broadcast parts of a live MLB game
- It is the first time for the iPhone and the MLB
- The game will be transmitted on Apple TV+
Major League Baseball, the United States hobby, has seen many changes in the last 149 years, but now it is being seen through a new set of digital eyes, the iPhone 17 Pro, and delivered to millions of baseball fans who look at the baseball on Friday night in Apple TV+.
For the first time, Apple and the MLB officially carry the new iPhone 17 Pro to the ball to shoot the game and deliver the live feeds as part of the baseball on Friday night, which is broadcast on one of the best transmission services, starting on September 26 at 6:30 pm et.
Four iPhone 17 professionals will sit at black magic telephone docks and splash the Boston Phenway Park for the Tigers vs Red Sox game. One will be inside the iconic green monster, two will be in the shelters and wander through the stadium.
All phones will run the Black Magic camera application with exposure and white balance established by connected iPads. The wiring, which will bring energy and send a video, will allow them to function continuously and deliver the feeds directly to the transmission trucks.
There will only be four phones. The stations have no plans to exchange them during commercial breaks. On the other hand, all will continually transmit during the duration of the game, and the transmission team will use them, inserting live shots, at any time during the transmission.
The iPhone 17 PRO has three 48mp cameras, which include a 4X optical zoom that climbs an 8x zoom sensor side. Apple TV+ and MLB plan to use all iPhones lens capabilities, including 24 mm, 48 mm. 100 mm and 200 mm equivalent (zoom 8x).
This is not exactly the first time that the iPhone 17 professional is shooting in the field. There was a test test a week ago in the last regular season game of the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw launcher. That concept of concept gave Apple and MLB the confidence to try it in its last baseball transmission on Friday night of the regular season at Apple TV+.
Although the iPhone 17 PRO is more than capable of shooting up to 4K 120 fps, the transmission will be captured at 1080p 59.94 FPS to match the requirements of the transmission trucks, which will receive feeding on a fiber optic line.
I am not surprised by the use of the iPhone 17 Pro in a professional scenario. After all, my own review found that it was one of the best smartphones in the market, and photography is incredibly good.
In addition to the potential quality of the videography of the iPhone 17 Pro, there is another obvious benefit when using a mobile phone in this scenario: size. Even on the platform, the iPhone 17 Pro is much smaller and lighter than a traditional transmission camera. It is likely that it can fit discreetly in places where a transmission camera will probably not.
In truth, the use of four professional phones from the iPhone 17 will not change the game or its result, but marks a milestone for Apple’s pocket product. It is one of the most public demonstrations of the ability of the iPhone 17 to be inserted without problems in a working production level of transmission. A live concept test that somehow goes beyond what we have seen Apple and other creators with the iPhone. Most of that has been captured, produced and then delivered as pre -recorded content. A live and fast rhythm game is a different beast.
Apple and the MLB may discovered the easy part. Let’s see if they can avoid drowning on the plate on game day. And Techradar will exclusively review the iPhone 17 Pro ‘in Action in Fenway Park, since they are used for baseball game on Friday night, so stay attentive for our reports.
