Abstract

A system for broadcasting a sporting event related to one or more moving objects (such as race cars) includes a plurality of stations disposed along the objects' trajectory. Each station includes an automated camera unit. A central command post (22) receives the location of each object and sends commands to the respective cameras to cover the objects as they move. The signals from the cameras is then mixed automatically at the central control post (22) and used to generate several video signals. The programs are transmitted directly to broadcasters (26), or are distributed via the Internet (28).
