the main thing they do better is, there is a chip inside the ball, so it marks where the ball is at on plays, so there is no question if a first down was made, or if they crossed the goal line. this means the refs dont have to guess where to spot the ball or just use their own bias to put the ball anywhere they want to.
How does the chip know when the runner is down?

I’m guessing the system works like “normal” until there is a review, then they sync the chip to time stamps on video review, and the reviewers tell the chip when the runner was down.

its twofold, the program tracks the balls movement so it can tell when forward progress is stopped and its also a time stamp issue so the refs say when the whistle is blown and where its marked at that time stamp is where its shown.
it takes every bit of doubt over whether they made the mark to gain or not.
nothing is perfect, but this is as close as you can get, and its the only way to do it when you cant see the ball inside a pile of bodies in a goal line scrum
