CBS Sports will use over 150 Sony cameras during its Super Bowl LVIII broadcast in Las Vegas. It is CBS' biggest event ever.
chatted with Mike Francis, CBS Sports’ Vice President of Engineering and Technology, about the camera technology that underpins not just the broadcast on CBS and Paramount+, but the cameras that help the refs make the correct calls.
“And what’s unique this year is it’s not just our big broadcast cameras, but we’ve also brought it into some of smaller point-of-view cameras that previously didn’t have the technology.”Francis admits that these 4K Zoom cameras may only matter a little during the typical broadcast action but will be vital during any prospective instant replays or official referee reviews.
Whether helping refs make the right calls or showing amazing replays to viewers at home, this year’s Super Bowl is poised to offer the most fidelity and top-of-the-line camera technology ever. As for how many total cameras are in use, Francis says that between the production for the game, the studio, and CBS’ simulcast with its partners at Nickelodeon, there are 165 cameras, not including any backups in case something must be replaced.
