What's "NBC it" all about? Turns out that nbc is using surveillance techn from General Electric to develop what it "NBC It."

Supposedly, this new tech will ensures that when a small part of the screen is blown up, it doesn't get blurry. TV WEEK reports that "SNF" producer Fred Gaudelli plans to use "NBC It" on plays in which officials' rulings are challenged by coaches and on other occasions when the viewer might want a tighter look at a play." Turns out that NBC is also launching a virtually enhanced goal line for replays of plays inside the five-yard line when it looks like the offense is about to score.
