SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
Multi-Camera Production Services
Professional multi-cam crews and equipment for live events, TV production, and complex shoots across China.
Multi-camera shoots run two or more cameras at once to catch a scene from many angles. This gives you full coverage and keeps the performance matched across shots. It is the standard way to film interviews, live events, and dialogue scenes, or any moment where a repeat take is hard or impossible. Our crews cover everything from major galas at Beijing's CCTV studios to live shows at the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena.
We build multi-camera setups scaled to what your production needs, with matching camera bodies, lenses, and monitor kit. Our team works with China's deep production base, from Hengdian World Studios to the China Film Group facilities in Beijing. Every camera is tied together with clean tech links, so your director and editor get full coverage from each angle.

Chinese multi-cam crews from CCTV studios to Shanghai arena galas
Multi-camera work in China rests on an unusually deep broadcast economy. The CCTV New Year Gala, Hunan TV variety formats out of Changsha, Mango TV streaming galas, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang satellite-channel weekly shows have built a crew base used to running 12-plus camera live setups against tight rundown timecodes. Our roster covers camera operators trained at CCTV Beijing's MediaPark complex and Shanghai Media Group's Songjiang studios. It also includes vision mixers fluent on Sony MVS, Grass Valley Kayenne, and Ross Carbonite switchers. Our tech directors hold credits on Spring Festival Gala broadcasts, Tencent and iQiyi exclusive concerts, and inbound brand launches at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, the Bird's Nest in Beijing, and the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center.
Sony HDC-3500 and HDC-P50 system cameras, Sony Venice 2 and FX9 bodies in a cine multi-cam setup, and Sony PXW broadcast cameras all pull from Beijing RedStar, Jebsen Industrial, and Shanghai rental houses. Intercom, fibre, and CCU runs are prepped for Chinese 220V/50Hz mains, with silent power-pack support where venue power cannot carry the full broadcast trolley.
A production might brief a 12-camera concert capture, a 5-camera corporate keynote at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Hongqiao, a 7-camera panel format for a Tencent original, or a 3-camera interview rig for a documentary series. Each one gets a setup matched to its deliverables rather than a generic crew quote. Our coordinators run tech surveys that cover venue audio tie-in, house-lighting fit with broadcast cameras at 5600K daylight balance, fibre-run feasibility, and CCU placement. They then plan rehearsal blocks against the rundown before going live.
On the ground, ISO recording on backup decks runs alongside live switching for streaming or IMAG output. Spare power, dual-path recording, and failover are built into each multi-cam call sheet. Streaming to Tencent Video, iQiyi, Bilibili Live, and global platforms like YouTube and Vimeo runs through multi-bitrate encoders and CDN delivery. Inbound shoots inherit the full Chinese broadcast-standard workflow, plus NRTA clearance where the final content is bound for mainland-China distribution.
FAQ
Technical Capabilities
How many cameras can you deploy for multi-cam productions?
We often run 3-12 camera setups and can go beyond that for major events. Standard rigs cover 3-camera interviews, 5-7 cameras for corporate events, and 8-12+ cameras for concerts and live shows.
Do you provide live switching or ISO recording?
We provide both. Live switching gives a real-time edited feed for streaming or IMAG. ISO recording captures each camera on its own, which gives your editor room to work in post. Most shoots use a mix of the two.
Can you integrate with existing venue systems?
Yes. Our tech teams tie into venue audio, house lighting, in-place video setups, and broadcast facilities with ease. We run tech surveys first to map out what each link will need.
What's included in multi-cam production packages?
Packages mostly cover cameras, operators, a vision mixer or director, a tech manager, tracking, communications, cabling, and recording or switching gear. Audio, lighting, and streaming are ready as add-ons to suit your venue.
How much setup time is required for multi-cam productions?
Setup time depends on the rig: 3-4 cameras mostly need 3-4 hours, 5-7 cameras need 4-6 hours, and 8+ camera setups may take a full day. We always build in time for a tech rehearsal before going live.
Can you provide live streaming alongside multi-cam recording?
Yes, fully. We stream to platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP feeds. Multi-bitrate encoding and CDN delivery are ready for large audiences.
