Chances are if you're watching highlights from the FIFA World Cup matches on television, you are seeing Apple technology hard at work. Highlights from the world's most popular sport are being prepared using multiple Apple products and technologies.

The biggest of the television networks using Apple products is the Host Broadcast Service (HBS), which is a collection of production groups brought together specifically for the 2006 World Cup. From its master control center to the dozens of cameras at each match, the production team is responsible for everything from managing the feeds coming back to the Munich headquarters to quickly delivering highlights to mobile phones within minutes of the action happening on the field.
