AFL football operations manager Mark Evans told AFL.com.au on Monday the new score review system would be unveiled in this month's NAB Challenge and used in every premiership season game.
Evans said the new system was the result of trials late in last year's premiership season and would allow the reviewing umpire to view multiple camera angles on one screen at the same time.
Evans' early worries over video review system
Last year, only slightly more than 50 per cent of reviews returned a conclusive decision, but Evans said that rate had risen to 80 per cent when the new system was trialled.
"It became quite obvious that we had to reduce the time taken to review decisions and ensure that those reviews resulted in more accurate decisions," Evans said.
"The new score review system allows the reviewer to look at multiple angles simultaneously, as opposed to the previous system where relevant angles were replayed by the broadcaster one at a time.
"Our trials have shown this new technology helps produce quicker decisions and more accurate decisions."
Evans said the AFL was also considering adding goal-post cameras at grounds this season to complement the eight existing camera angles provided by the broadcasters.
With many of the NAB Challenge's matches played at regional grounds, the new score review system will only be used at 11 of the 18 games.
The score review system was introduced ahead of the 2012 season.
