CBS To Use HD Pylon Cameras in Super Bowl 50
Super Bowl 50, to be held on Feb. 7 on CBS, will feature high-resolution, high-definition cameras in the pylons. The eight custom-molded pylons will provide viewers with shots along the goal lines and sidelines on each side of the field. Each of the pylons will house two cameras, giving fans field-level views of critical plays during the golden anniversary of the NFL’s championship game.

In addition to cameras, the pylons also will have built-in microphones to enhance the natural sound of the game.
