Camera From 20 Years Ago Replaced With 4K Model During Beşiktaş Match

Süper Lig broadcaster beIN SPORTS came under scrutiny after claims that one of the cameras it used during the Beşiktaş-Kocaelispor match was first released in 2006. A technology that is roughly 20 years old being used in league broadcasts drew a reaction from fans.

Following the backlash, the broadcaster took action. The older camera used at Beşiktaş Stadium was replaced with an 8-year-old 4K camera. The new device was used in the Beşiktaş-Başakşehir match played in Week 9 of the Süper Lig.

The incident is said to have once again shown how important fan expectations for broadcast quality are. The broadcaster's decision to bring in a newer model in place of the outdated equipment indicates that the reaction was taken into account.
