The article about Game 150 talked a bit about this process. The replay official apparently picks a handful of view that may be useful and then makes them available to the referee. He then can control them.

What happens though if the replay official doesn't go back far enough to know there was a potential touch earlier in the play? Nothing the referee can do about that.
