ESPN’s multi-faceted coverage of Monday night’s college football national championship game will feature cameras affixed to four officials’ hats, the first-down marker, and the line-to-gain pylons as well as a digital TechCast feed to highlight all of the innovative angles.
As Alabama and Clemson meet in the College Football Playoff for the fourth straight year—including three title games—ESPN is again using its MegaCast to distribute a variety of feeds and perspectives. This year’s edition offers an unprecedented 17 unique presentations.
Of particular note are the cameras embedded in novel vantage points, including the orange pylons and, like last year, standing markers that signal where a team needs to reach for a first down.
