Real-time live storytelling

It's a symphony of live storytelling. Dozens of cameras, microphones, and broadcast trucks work in real-time to create a live, unscripted movie as the game happens. The tech includes $50k Sony cameras, $25k fluid heads, and insane 122x zoom lenses.

  • ๐ŸŒ The broadcast operation is housed in six dedicated trucks located 200 yards from the arena.
  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Cameras include Sony P50s with Canon 122x zoom lenses, cable cams, above-the-rim cams, and Steadicams.
  • ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Microphones capture everything from sneaker squeaks and player trash-talk to rim bounces and crowd noise.
  • ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ EVS controllers allow replay operators to scrub footage and control playback speed for instant replays.

A man is shown operating a large camera with an arrow pointing to the screen, which displays a basketball hoop, with text overlay reading "NBA Tech".
