If you go to their website, one of the services they provide is video analysis. Reading further, it's still video taken while athletes are wearing their monitoring devices so data can be collected and analyzed in real time. They don't have "practice footage". The company is very high tech in data analytics. DFBIA is just stupid and desperate enough to believe anything they are told.

Yes, it's just analytics data. It's basically this stuff:
Every single soccer player in Europe has worn a Catapult for years and years. It's how the gaffer knows his midfielder ran 11 miles over the course of 98 minutes on the weekend and probably needs the midweek match off. It's a load-management tool.
Catapult is relatively new in the US football market. A company named Zebra Technologies partnered with the NFL to put sensors in the pads back in 2015, and that was the birth of AWS/Next Gen Stats. CFB teams use Zebra Tech too, but wearing the Catapult harness on days the players aren't in pads is a more recent development on this side of the pond. But to be clear, they are not body cams, and Catapult is not a "practice film" company. They are mens sports bras that have GPS sensors and accelerometers sewn in that are worn as a base layer under the jersey.
