The new experimental rule which allows players to appeal umpiring decisions has been approved by both the Black Caps skipper and West Indies coach.
Under the system the fielding captain can ask for a decision to be referred to the third umpire.
Each team can make three unsuccessful appeals per innings.
The ICC first trialled the system during the Sri Lanka-India series earlier this year but this is the first time New Zealand and the West Indies have been exposed the rule which is designed to eradicate the worst umpiring blunders.
Black Caps captain Daniel Vettori welcomed the innovation.
"I think it is quite exciting for the game. It brings a new element into it, particularly for a captain. I suppose I'll have to be strong with some people about not wanting to appeal every decision off their bowling. And guys are aware that if they make a mistake it can affect the team."
Vettori said wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum was ideally placed to make calls and he would look to his gloveman for guidance.
Dyson was of a similar mind.
"Without having experienced it first hand I can only go on what the others have written, and everyone seems pretty happy about it," he said.
"We had a talk about the system [Tuesday] night and went over how it works: what they need to know about it and, not so much tactics, but, you wouldn't like to waste opportunities and miss out on opportunities."
Experienced South African Rudi Koertzen will be in the hot seat as the third umpire, with English umpire Mark Benson and Amish Saheba of India, who will make his test debut, out in the middle.
Meanwhile, both sides finally got some outdoor training in yesterday after being forced indoors due to poor weather on Monday and Tuesday.
Still, Dyson was pleased with his side's build-up.
The team had a good hit-out against Auckland last week and had trained well this week, although he acknowledged the Windies had not played a test since June and would probably be a bit rusty.
But the Black Caps had returned from Australia battered after a 2-0 drubbing.
"I think they will be a bit bruised after the Australian experience. Obviously it will be our job to exploit that."
