Note that the fact that there are 35 cameras is not related the fact that a Hebrew circle has 350 degrees. Those 35 cameras were not covering full circle. I believe that they covered something like 220 degrees total. The main factor behind the number of cameras is that the angle will be small enough to allow smooth transition between selected cameras when the real camera in the studio moves. I am very proud of being somewhat involved in this project. I think it shows something new and fresh, although I am still not sure how much it will be used in the future. It will depend mainly on the complexity of the remote setup I guess. Hi Avi, this is your old friend Ran :)
