The Sun Belt Conference announced that they will use a higher-quality high-definition replay system for its football games in the upcoming season.

XOS Digital Inc. announced that it will partner with the conference to provide a HD-quality system for officials to support efficiency in the replay process.

"XOS Digital’s HD replay technology will significantly enhance our replay officials’ ability to provide more accurate reviews," Don Lucas, Sun Belt Coordinator of Football Officials said in a statement. "Leveraging the highest video quality available to improve our ability to provide the best review possible is of the utmost importance to our conference."

SBC commissioner Karl Benson hopes that the change from standard definition to HD will put the conference on a higher plane when it comes to reviewing tough calls.

"Providing our officials with this technology will mean that the Sun Belt Conference is on the cutting edge when it comes to instant replay in collegiate football," Benson said.
