NBC Sports Digital Unveils Tactical Cam for Premier League Liverpool - Manchester City Match Next Monday

NBC Sports Digital will formally debut its "Tactical Cam" during next Monday's highly-anticipated Liverpool at Manchester City match. The "Tactical Cam" is a high sideline camera meant to show all 22 players on The Pitch at the same time, enabling fans to see formations and evaluate each team's attacking and defending tactics as the game progresses.

The "Tactical Cam" will be available in both the NBC Sports Live Extra desktop and mobile & tablet presentations of the game.

On a mobile device or tablet, "Tactical Cam" can be viewed as a separate stream to complement the traditional broadcast view.

"The 'Tactical Cam' is our latest attempt to give U.S.-based fans of the Premier League the best and most comprehensive coverage available anywhere," saidTom Seeley, Vice President, Editorial, NBC Sports Digital. "After making every game available to fans in the U.S. for the first time last season, we're hoping that additions like 'Tactical Cam' will give fans even more to enjoy every weekend."

Additional second screen applications within NBC Sports Live Extra Premier League coverage includes a state-of-the-art video player that features HD video, in-game DVR capability, social media commentary as well as live, statistical data feeds from each game related to the teams and players.
