The following camera diagrams and descriptions were copied from actual documents used by networks and production companies to produce small and large sporting events. There is not one single way to set up cameras at an event. These diagrams show some of the most common camera setups.
Many of these diagrams show the basic camera diagram. Cameras can be added to them as needed. A few of the diagrams show many cameras as used in a world championship.
