SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS

Multi-Camera Production Services

Professional multi-cam crews and equipment for live events, TV production, and complex shoots across Portugal.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Multi-camera shoots employ two or more cameras at once to capture scenes from many angles, maximizing coverage and preserving performance scene matching. From live broadcasts at RTP studios in Lisbon to music festivals like NOS Alive, this way is standard for interviews, live events, dialogue scenes, and any situation where repeated takes are impractical or impossible.

Here is the short of it. We give multi-camera setups scaled to your production's needs, setting up matching camera bodies, lenses, and monitor kit. Working with Portugal's production infrastructure including Tóbis Studios and SIC's broadcast facilities in Lisbon, our team makes sure seamless tech integration between all cameras, giving your director and editor full coverage from each angle.

On Location

Multi-camera shoots across Portugal's flagship live calendar — Web Summit Lisbon (Europe's largest tech conference, seventy-thousand-plus attendees annually November since 2016), NOS Alive Algés July, Rock in Rio Lisboa, Festival da Canção (Eurovision selection RTP), Selecção Portuguesa football, and F1-MotoGP Portimão.

Here is how this works in practice. Our multi-cam packages route Sony HDC-3500 and HDC-P50, Grass Valley LDX 100 4K, and Panasonic AK-UC4000 system cameras with Canon UJ27x6.5B and UJ90x9B box lenses for wide stadium and arena coverage, supplemented by Cinema Cameras (Sony Venice 2, ARRI Alexa Mini LF, RED Komodo) on jibs, Steadicams, RailCam dollies, and Movi-Pro gimbals for talent-side beauty angles. Switching infrastructure routes through Grass Valley Karrera and Kayenne (twelve-to-forty-eight input mainframes), Sony XVS series, and Ross Carbonite plus NewBlue Titler Live and Vizrt graphics for over-the-shoulder bug, third, and clock packages.

Here is the breakdown. IP-based fiber routes through Cisco and Imagine Magellan SDNO backbones for Web Summit Altice Arena (formerly Pavilhão Atlântico, capacity twenty-thousand) and Estádio da Luz (Benfica, capacity sixty-five-thousand), Estádio do Dragão (FC Porto, capacity fifty-thousand), Estádio José Alvalade (Sporting CP), and Estádio Algarve. RF planning via ANACOM licensing for camera return-video, talkback, and IFB on UHF and 2 GHz bands.

Here is the short of it. Live calendar anchors have Web Summit (the largest tech conference in Europe — Lisbon. Since 2016, seventy-thousand-plus attendees), NOS Alive Algés (annually July, two-hundred-fifty-thousand attendees, one of Europe's flagship music festivals with Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys headliner heritage), Rock in Rio Lisboa biennial, Super Bock Super Rock, MEO Sudoeste Zambujeira do Mar, Vodafone Paredes de Coura, and Festival Boom Idanha-a-Nova psytrance biennial.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Sports coverage routes Rally de Portugal WRC (Algarve), F1 Portimão Grand Prix (Algarve, 2020-2021 race weekends with Lewis Hamilton podiums), MotoGP Portimão (since 2020), Estoril Open ATP tennis, Lisbon Half Marathon, Maratona Vodafone Lisboa, plus Selecção Portuguesa Cristiano-Ronaldo-era matches and the three big Lisboa-Porto clubs Benfica-Sporting-Porto. Broadcast partnerships route through RTP (state TV networks — host of Festival da Canção Eurovision selection that sent Salvador Sobral to win the 2017 contest with Amar Pelos Dois), SIC, and TVI for delivery. ANACOM frequency clearance, ICA cash-rebates qualifying spend on narrative-music-video and concert-film overlap, IVA twenty-three percent invoicing, and Segurança Social retained-crew compliance routes through our production-services partners.

FAQ

Technical Capabilities

How many cameras can you deploy for multi-cam productions?

We often deploy 3-12 camera setups and can scale beyond for major events. Standard configurations have 3-camera interview setups, 5-7 camera corporate events, and 8-12+ camera concert and live show shoots.

Do you provide live switching or ISO recording?

We give both. Live switching gives real-time edited output for streaming or IMAG. ISO recording captures each camera independently for post-prod flexibility. Most shoots use a combination of both ways.

Can you integrate with existing venue systems?

Yes. Our tech teams are skilled in interfacing with venue audio systems, house lighting, existing video infrastructure, and broadcast facilities. We conduct tech surveys to plan integration needs.

What's included in multi-cam production packages?

Packages mostly have cameras, operators, vision mixer/director, tech manager, tracking, comms, cabling, and recording/switching gear. Audio, lighting, and streaming are ready as additions based on venue needs.

How much setup time is required for multi-cam productions?

Setup time differs by complexity: 3-4 cameras mostly need 3-4 hours, 5-7 cameras need 4-6 hours, and 8+ camera setups may need a full day. We always have time for tech rehearsal before going live.

Can you provide live streaming alongside multi-cam recording?

Fully. We give integrated streaming solutions to platforms including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP destinations. Multi-bitrate encoding and CDN distribution ready for large audiences.

Productions in Portugal that need this often pair it with Time-lapse & Hyperlapse, Director of Photography Services, and Steadicam & Gimbal Operators for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Location Sound Services and Virtual Reality Filming.
