The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated broadcaster use of robotics for remote operations of cameras, and the capabilities of these tools continue to increase.
4K lenses deliver sharpness. Internet protocol-based cameras helped prove the bandwidth exists for broadcasters to transmit video over IP. Control of camera movement has both quieted and improved to provide smoother starts and stops.
