NBC uses 'SkyCam' as primary camera during Steelers-Titans game

Tonight's Thursday night Steelers game moved away from traditional camera angles and is being shown using SkyCam.

There are two SkyCams, one for play by play and the other for pre-snap looks and replays.

With the positive feedback from viewers, the work began to make this view the primary view tonight but there are challenges.

“People don't understand this is operated with joysticks much like a video game is,” said Fred Gaudelli, executive producer of NBC’s Sunday night and Thursday night football series.

Ex-players like Jerome Bettis have already given it their endorsement.

“You get a full view of the entire game i think you lose a little bit with the wide receivers but what you gain on the inside I think is valuable,” Bettis said.
