SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SETUPS
Multi-Camera Setups
Professional live event coverage and multi-camera production across Ireland.
Multi-camera setups deploy two or more cameras simultaneously to capture comprehensive coverage of scenes, events, or performances. From concerts at 3Arena Dublin to GAA broadcasts and the Galway International Arts Festival, this approach maximizes shooting efficiency, preserves performance continuity, and provides editors with multiple angles from each take.
We coordinate multi-camera configurations with matched camera bodies, synchronized settings, and integrated monitoring systems across Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. Our team works alongside the broadcast infrastructure connected to Ardmore Studios, Ashford Studios, and Troy Studios — leveraging Ireland's strong tradition of live music production and RTÉ broadcasting.

On Location
Sony HDC-3500 and Grass Valley LDX 86 system-camera multi-rigs across RTÉ Donnybrook, BBC NI, TG4 and major live venues
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's multi-camera infrastructure scales across the broadcast backbone (RTÉ Donnybrook + BBC NI Belfast + Virgin Media Television + TG4 + UTV) plus the major live venues (Aviva Stadium + Croke Park + 3Arena Dublin + SSE Arena Belfast + Marlay Park + Cathedral Quarter Belfast + Tallaght Stadium + Convention Centre Dublin CCD + Belfast Waterfront + ICC Belfast). The same bench has shipped GAA All-Ireland Final live coverage at Croke Park every September (the largest sustained multi-camera deployment in Ireland.
Here is the short of it. This includes 18+ camera positions on a hard-cutting RTÉ Sport broadcast), Six Nations Rugby at Aviva Stadium (12+ cameras across BBC, ITV, Virgin Media and TG4 alternate-language feeds), the full 3Arena Dublin concert calendar, SSE Arena Belfast tour stops, Marlay Park summer festivals, plus the major narrative multi-cam (The Late Late Show. This includes longest-running chat show in the world. Dancing with the Stars Ireland, Operation Transformation, Ireland's Got Talent, sitcoms at Ardmore + Ashford + Troy Studios). Cross-border CTA plan let multi-cam crews move between Dublin and Belfast venues on the same broadcast day.
Here is the breakdown. Camera packages standardise on Sony HDC-3500 system cameras (the RTÉ + BBC NI + Virgin Media + UTV broadcast standard). Sony HDC-P50 box cameras for unusual rigging at GAA-pitch and concert-stage edges. Panasonic AK-UC4000 for 4K UHD multi-cam capacity (the Foundation Apple TV+ + the growing 4K-HDR broadcast tier), Grass Valley LDX 86 + 100 + 150 for tier-one sports and concert. Vision-mixing flows NewTek TriCaster TC2 Elite + Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K + Grass Valley Kayenne K-Frame X consoles. EVS XT-VIA + XT4K replay servers cover sports slow-motion (the Croke Park + Aviva Stadium broadcast standard).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Comms run Riedel Bolero wireless intercom + Clear-Com Eclipse HX system across operators. Lens packages span Canon UJ27x6.5B + UJ90x9B for sports plus Fujinon Top 4K box-lenses for studio. Section 481 32% relief plus 40% regional uplift covers multi-cam day rates and gear hire. Bilingual EN/Irish (Gaeilge) crew coordination is standard on TG4 and bilingual broadcast briefs.
FAQ
