Overview
- Four iPhone 17 Pros were positioned around Fenway Park, including inside the Green Monster, in the dugouts, and as a roaming unit in the stands.
- The phone feeds were integrated into the broadcast truck via Blackmagic’s Camera app and Pro Dock with remote control over exposure and white balance and with color matching to the primary cameras.
- To fit existing stadium workflows, the iPhone signals were delivered at 1080p at 60 frames per second despite the devices’ higher native recording capabilities.
- A real-time on-screen overlay identified when viewers were seeing shots captured on an iPhone.
- Apple tested the approach at Dodger Stadium during Clayton Kershaw’s final regular-season start, and producers describe the workflow as ready to be replicated across future telecasts.
