Two wireless AtomOne Mini Air cameras were integrated into the stadium's line-to-gain pylons, facilitating the taking of unique, immersive and action-packed images.

Dream Chip was selected by 3g Wireless, supplier of equipment and services to the CBS television network for the Superbowl, for meeting quality and robustness criteria. The AtomOne Mini Air camera weighs only 45 grams and measures approximately 30x30x18mm.

With an S-mount lens that provides a resolution of Full HD quality, the AtomOne Mini Air is perfect for getting down to the action, offering both a wide-angle lens and the ability to capture the finest details. In addition, the AtomOne Mini Air offers 10bit HDR offering rich color depth, offering improved image quality thanks to higher contrast and reduced shadows and blurring.

Aside from the technical specifications of the cameras and the exceptional image quality they offer, another key consideration was integration. The nature of the Dream Chip AtomOne range is to complement existing larger scale camera setups, providing unique angles and unusual perspectives that complement the “workhorse” features of more conventional broadcast cameras.

The Dream Chip camera's ability to achieve seamless integration is key, especially through color matching that eliminates any need for adjustments in the studio. AtomOne Mini Air wireless cameras also integrated with a controller CyanView para lograr un control colorimétrico preciso e intuitivo.

Gordon Capaccio, director de desarrollo comercial y operaciones deportivas en 3g Wireless, reconoce que “las cámaras Dream Chip nos han ayudado a innovar en la forma de enfocar la producción deportiva, y la cadena CBS quedó sorprendida con lo que entregamos. El nivel de detalle de las cámaras era increíble; se podía ver cada brizna de hierba, era como estar en la banda. Ofrece una nueva forma de ver la producción, tanto literal como metafóricamente. El público pudo ver mucho más en términos de acción y emoción, tanto por la calidad de la cámara como por la versatilidad de su uso”.
