“Four tower supports are erected at the four corners of the sports venue. Connected to each of these towers is a powerful CNC winch, each in turn connected to a cable that stretches out to the center of the field. The four cables meet and connect at the camera, which weighs in the neighborhood of just 30 pounds. The cables stretching from the tower tops to the camera are not pulled horizontally taut; the camera hangs down, with the cables heading up and away from it at an angle. Additionally, each cable features an integrated fiber-optic cable which carries the camera’s HD signal back to a control room. |
