A warning: This is going to be kinda vague...
I was recently at a event that was held in a gym that could hold about 3000 people. They had multiple projectors projecting on 4 screens. The person that was speaking was on a stage at the front of the gym and they were running live video on all 4 of the screens. At first I couldn't see any cameras but then I saw a large tripod set up with 2 items attached to it that seemed to be where the video was being shot from. After the main speech there was a Q & A segment and the control people cut back and forth between 2 different views which I assume were from the 2 cameras.
The only thing is that the devices did not look like cameras to me but that is the only thing they could have been as the video was being shot from right where they were. I wasn't able to get any closer to the cameras but It looked like one was mounted on top of the tripod and one was attached to the leg of it(I think). They were able to pan and zoom also. It looked like they had a large lens but not a body behind the lens.
Kinda like this but it was shrouded in what looked like a white sleeve/cloth.
And it looked like it kinda angled down in the back too. I don't know if there was a mirror in the back reflecting down to the sensor or what. But it didn't look like there was room for anything below it as what looked the the picture above was sitting right on the tripod.
I say all that to say this. Does anyone know what this device is or has anyone used one? Also if you have seen one up close and have more details I would love to know.
Thanks in advance!
