Are you referring to chrominance? (The color portion of the video signal.) Then it’s called “saturation” and it depends on the camera shader in the truck. And the types of cameras used, although they’re all pretty good these days.

Home and away feeds, or network and local feeds, and there’s usually at least some "handshaking’ of cameras between trucks.

In answer to the general questions above, there are “regulars” in the crew talent pool that get most of the calls, either home or away feeds. Directors, TD’s, producers, and a very few others will travel with the team, as well as the announcers, of course.

And the “texture” shots are called for from the truck for the most part, although on the way out to breaks, it’s standard practice for the camera people to get these. Often, the director will just say “Faces!” and that’s enough. Happens during other stoppages as well, and also after home runs, goals in hockey, touchdowns, you get the drift.

I used to look for hats, happy kids, and hot babes, in no particular order, when I did sports. It’s called “selling” a shot when you get one and let the director see it first.

When the regulars get to know a director, they know the show he calls, and anticipate. When an out of town director gets an away feed crew that doesn’t know his show, and doesn’t take that into account, tension can result.

There’s also a playback crew and graphics in the truck. The truck chief is generally called the EIC (Engineer in Charge).

I have an edit and a pre-light taking up much of my work day today, I’ll look in again after and I’m sure a couple of other TV types will weigh in. If you have questions, post them here as replies…

definitely a “sell the lifestyle” push. They want to show people having fun and drinking beer. to say drink our beer and you too will:
A. Have fun like these hot chicks
B. look like these hot chicks
C. Be with these hot chicks
Its kind of a standard beer commercial gig…

They have the Bud Light “Fan Cam” during the broadcasts but it is normally done directly after a commercial break in between innings. They post the Bud Light Fan Cam on the bottom of the screen and normally play music and show various fans (both men and women). However, many times during the game there are shots that are more “sinister” of nature. These are the 5-20 second cuts to women in the crowd. They are normally in groups of 2-3 and scantily clad on warmer days. My wife and I just laugh at this point when they come up. I will never forget the first couple of times she sat and watched a game with me. She asks “Is it just me or have they showed a lot of women…?” “No, Its not just you. Welcome to Cubs Baseball.”
