The other is behind the goals and works as a 'fixed' camera - it follows the path of the ball via a joystick control but doesn't zoom in/out. Some grounds have these at each end (so you get 3x feeds to integrate into sportscode) others have only 1x and you just combine the 2x feeds (side on + btg).

There is a company in WA that does broadcasts of all of the WAFL colts games so it would be a relatively straight-forward process to combine this with the side-to-side vision for re-broadcast if they wanted too...or could certainly simply make available to subscribers. I can no longer comment on exactly what the TAC Cup has with regards commentary etc. Good spot for aspiring broadcasters to gain experience though.

Brilliant stuff. I'm more confused now than when we started.
