These cameras range from Sony\u2019s professional broadcast models used by FOX Sports, the official broadcaster, to the various Alpha\u2122\ufe0f interchangeable lens cameras and E-mount lenses including G Master\u2122\ufe0f that The Associated Press and other sideline photographers will be using to create timeless Super Bowl imagery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Super Bowl is not just the biggest game of the year, it is also the biggest production,\u201d says Michael Davies, FOX Sports EVP Field Operations. \u201cOur job is to tell the story of the game, capturing the energy within the stadium and keeping billions of viewers engaged, and Sony is a key tool in reaching that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both the Associated Press and the NFL in-house photography are also planning to utilize Sony\u2019s PDT-FP1 transmitter device on-site to deliver photos + videos directly from camera to editors in real-time, streamlining their workflow and resulting in the fastest possible distribution to the public.<\/p>\n
Each year, the size and scope of the Super Bowl Halftime Show gets larger, including its production elements.

\u201cThe Super Bowl Halftime Show is a challenge unlike any other project we\u2019ve been a part of,\u201d explains James Coker, Head of Engineering and Technical Management at Funicular Goats. \u201cThere are less than five minutes to set up and deliver a cinematic concert to millions of people, and the Sony Cinema Line cameras provide the perfect combination of full-frame sensor with broadcast compatibility to work seamlessly within the show\u2019s structure and achieve this challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
