CBS Sports plans to “Pylon Cam” for selected "Thursday Night Football" and Sunday NFL broadcasts with an eye toward giving NFL viewers the most field-level view of critical plays.
"Pylon Cam" also might be used during the playoffs and Super Bowl 50.
The network will use four custom-molded pylons with multiple cameras to film the goal lines and sidelines on each side of the field. The high-resolution, high-definition, point-of-view cameras will be housed inside the pylon.
For the second year, CBS will partner with NFL Network in broadcasting "Thursday Night Football." The 16-game schedule kicks off Sept.
