Ball tracker snippets
Systems and methods for providing ball tracker snippets are provided. Data may be received over a wireless communication regarding movement of a ball within an event venue during an event. Such received data may be based on signals from an antenna coupled to the ball. A video of the event may be synchronized to the received data. A portion of the received data may be identified as meeting a threshold. A portion of the video may be determined to be associated with the identified portion of received data that meets the threshold. A video snippet may then be extracted for the determined portion.
1. A system for ball tracker video, the system comprising:
a memory that stores a specified threshold rate value;

a processor that executes instructions stored in the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:
synchronizes video data of at least a subset of the event to the timeline data,
identifies a plurality of time durations along the timeline based on the received ball data, wherein each time duration corresponds to a rate traveled by the ball during the respective time duration, wherein each rate meets or exceeds the specified threshold rate value,
sorts the plurality of rates from a highest rate to a lowest rate, wherein the plurality of time durations are sorted according to the sorting of the plurality of rates,
identifies a plurality of portions of the video data that are synchronized with the plurality of time durations, and
extracts a video snippet from the video data, the video snippet including a first video portion of the plurality of video portions.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display screen that displays the video snippet.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a user interface that receives the specified threshold rate value.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein execution of the instructions by the processor further synchronizes the timeline data with the position data.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein execution of the instructions by the processor further identifies, based on the position data and the timeline data, a plurality of ball travel distances corresponding to the plurality of time durations.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein execution of the instructions by the processor further generates an event coordinate grid that maps coordinates to the event venue.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a database in the memory, wherein the database that stores the plurality of portions of the video data.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the video snippet corresponds to the highest rate of the plurality of rates.

executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor:
synchronizes video data of at least a subset of the event to the timeline data,
identifies a plurality of time durations along the timeline based on the received ball data, wherein each time duration corresponds to a rate traveled by the ball during the respective time duration, wherein each rate meets or exceeds the specified threshold rate value,
sorts the plurality of rates from a highest rate to a lowest rate, wherein the plurality of time durations are sorted according to the sorting of the plurality of rates,
identifies a plurality of portions of the video data that are synchronized with the plurality of time durations, and
