LaLiga Santander: Mediapro using a new "state-of-the-art pitchside camera" to broadcast matches

LaLiga and Mediapro, the official production partner of the Spanish League, are now using a "new state-of-the-art pitchside camera" for their match broadcasts, "which provides viewers with an image quality similar to that of a film or a video game, as well as an ultra-realistic experience that makes them (fans) feel like they are actually in the stands at the stadium or just a few metres away from the players," announced LaLiga on 03/02/2021

"The large-sensor, mirrorless camera captures an image with a very shallow depth of field thanks to its 35mm sensor, thus achieving a very different result from other, more established broadcast cameras. The resulting blurred background video effect is very similar to 'portrait mode' photographs that can be taken with certain mobile phones," explained the Spanish league.

"At LaLiga, we are constantly researching cutting-edge innovations and technological solutions that allow us to offer the best audiovisual product. To this end, we will continue developing and fine-tuning this new system to enhance the visual experience for our fans," said…
