The camera is connected to the television station for live broadcasts through a series of cables and equipment designed to transmit the video and audio signals from the camera to the station. Typically, the camera is connected to a video switcher or production mixer, which allows for live switching between multiple camera feeds. The video switcher then sends the combined feed to a video encoder, which compresses the video signal for transmission over a network connection.
The audio signal from the camera is usually connected to a separate audio mixer, which combines the audio feeds from all the cameras and microphones into a single audio signal. This audio signal is then sent to the video encoder along with the video signal for synchronization.
The compressed video and audio signals are then transmitted over a dedicated network connection, such as a fiber optic line or satellite link, to the television station. At the television station, the incoming feed is decoded and processed by broadcast equipment before being broadcasted live to viewers.
