The company with the original tech was called Princeton Video Imaging, in NJ. I interned for them one summer in... 1996? They had sold their tech to Padres and Giants broadcasts initially to put ads on the outfield. The first down line came a bit later and was a much better use of their tech. Princeton Video Imaging even got a shout out (1-line) at the end of every NFL game for a while.
