SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
Multi-Camera Production Services
Professional multi-cam crews and equipment for live events, TV production, and complex shoots across Ireland.
Here is how this works in practice. Multi-camera shoots employ two or more cameras at once to capture scenes from many angles, maximizing coverage and preserving performance scene matching. From live broadcasts at RTÉ studios in Donnybrook to concerts at Dublin's 3Arena, this way is standard for interviews, live events, dialogue scenes, and any situation where repeated takes are impractical or impossible.
Here is the short of it. We give multi-camera setups scaled to your production's needs, setting up matching camera bodies, lenses, and monitor kit. Working with Ireland's production infrastructure including Ardmore Studios and Troy Studios in Limerick, our team makes sure seamless tech integration between all cameras, giving your director and editor full coverage from each angle.

RTÉ Donnybrook, BBC NI and TG4 multi-cam infrastructure with Aviva Stadium, Croke Park and 3Arena live-event coverage
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's multi-camera bench runs through a tight roster of broadcast and live-event teams whose credits define the local standard. RTÉ multi-cam studios in Donnybrook set up the long Irish broadcast custom (The Late Late Show. Longest-running chat show in the world. Dancing with the Stars Ireland, Operation Transformation). Virgin Media Television runs daytime and entertainment multi-cam, TG4 carries the Irish-language Gaeltacht broadcast brief, and BBC NI plus UTV anchor Northern Ireland under the CTA cross-border plan. The same bench handles GAA All-Ireland Final live coverage at Croke Park each September.
Here is the short of it. Six Nations Rugby at Aviva Stadium. The full 3Arena Dublin concert calendar. SSE Arena Belfast tour stops, Marlay Park summer festivals, and the major outdoor events — St. Patrick's Festival (Dublin global broadcast), Galway International Arts Festival, Cork Jazz Festival and Belfast Christmas Markets — that anchor the live-multi-cam calendar. Studio infrastructure scales from 3-camera interview setups at RTÉ Studio 4 through 12+ camera concert shoots at 3Arena and SSE Belfast.
Here is the breakdown. Vision-mixing flows through NewTek TriCaster TC2 Elite and Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K sites. With EVS replay servers for sports and ISO recording across all camera positions. Camera packages standardise on Sony HDC-3500 system cameras (RTÉ + BBC NI + Virgin Media). Sony HDC-P50 box cameras for unusual rigging. Panasonic AK-UC4000 for 4K UHD multi-cam. Grass Valley LDX 86 for tier-one sports. Comms run on Riedel Bolero wireless intercom across operators, with Telos VX call-in systems for live broadcast.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Lens packages range Canon UHD digital servo zooms (UJ27x6.5B for sports + CJ20ex5B for studio) through Fujinon Top 4K box-lenses. The Ardmore Studios + Troy Studios Limerick + Titanic Studios Belfast + Ashford Studios infrastructure adds drama multi-cam capacity for sitcom and live captures. Cross-border CTA plan let crews move seamlessly between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland venues on the same broadcast day. Section 481 32% relief plus 40% regional uplift covers all-Ireland production. Bilingual EN/Irish (Gaeilge) crew planning is standard on TG4 and bilingual broadcast briefs.
FAQ
Technical Capabilities
How many cameras can you deploy for multi-cam productions?
We often deploy 3-12 camera setups and can scale beyond for major events. Standard configurations have 3-camera interview setups, 5-7 camera corporate events, and 8-12+ camera concert and live show shoots.
Do you provide live switching or ISO recording?
We give both. Live switching gives real-time edited output for streaming or IMAG. ISO recording captures each camera independently for post-prod flexibility. Most shoots use a combination of both ways.
Can you integrate with existing venue systems?
Yes. Our tech teams are skilled in interfacing with venue audio systems, house lighting, existing video infrastructure, and broadcast facilities. We conduct tech surveys to plan integration needs.
What's included in multi-cam production packages?
Packages mostly have cameras, operators, vision mixer/director, tech manager, tracking, comms, cabling, and recording/switching gear. Audio, lighting, and streaming are ready as additions based on venue needs.
How much setup time is required for multi-cam productions?
Setup time differs by complexity: 3-4 cameras mostly need 3-4 hours, 5-7 cameras need 4-6 hours, and 8+ camera setups may need a full day. We always have time for tech rehearsal before going live.
Can you provide live streaming alongside multi-cam recording?
Fully. We give integrated streaming solutions to platforms including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP destinations. Multi-bitrate encoding and CDN distribution ready for large audiences.
