Answer 2

traditional television work is done with cameras, not camcorders. the feeds from the camera go to a central mixer where the director says which picture to take. this goes to a recorder.

in the HD world, the cameras output HD-SDI at 1.4 GBPS to the mixer. recording is compressed and either put on tape or on a digital harddrive/server. it would actually be more reasonable for an event like this to be shot in SDI at 270 MBPS, with 16:9 camera lenses and upconverted to create "HD". SDI has more than 10 times the data than say HDV, so it looks a lot more like HD than camcorder footage.

Answer 3

Most likely, something that's out of your budget if that's why you're asking.
