The newspeople were watching the matches on monitors in their booth. Or they were watching feeds from other venues - or... Actually the camera feeds give a much better view of the matches. You may have noticed all those people called Bob on the floor of the arena. Those are members of the Beijing Olympic Broadcasting group. All of the news agencies pool cameras at the venues. There will be up to twenty different feeds of a match. In the control room for each news group, they will switch from one to another as their commentator and producers choose. In larger venues there are even more camera setups. |
