one step further:

Lookthru LCD inside HSM for HUD, dual HD, HS CCD cameras mounted on either side of the HSM, fed thru a wireless G-LAN connection to a high speed database for instantaneous analysis and call rendering back to the Umpire's HUD display within 20 mS.

Of course, a Replay Official could have access to this system inside the Broadcast Booth in order to override an erroneous call instantly, judge fair/foul/HR, etc.
