Sony A7R IV Used to Film NFL Football Game

Sony A7R IV Used to Film NFL Football Game. Sportsvideo writes:

The camera, run by veteran camera operator Mike Smole, was outfitted with a Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens, which — while shooting in HD and using in-camera autofocus — delivered the shallow depth of field that differentiated the image in such a unique way from the other broadcast cameras on the show. From the rig, the video signal was shipped to the truck via a 1080p wireless transmitter provided by CP Communications.
“The future of this camera is pretty wide,” he says, noting the significant cost saving (the rig in total amounts to approximately $10,000) and the relatively simple learning/training curve. “The ethos at Fox encourages this type of innovation on the ground. It doesn’t matter where an idea comes from. We’ll take it. I’m just really proud of this crew, and it’ll only get better from here.”
