SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SETUPS
Multi-Camera Setups in Saudi Arabia
Professional live event coverage and multi-camera production across Saudi Arabia.
Here is how this works in practice. Multi-camera setups deploy two or more cameras at once to capture full coverage of scenes, events, or performances. From MDLBEAST Soundstorm and Riyadh Season concerts to live broadcasts of Formula 1 in Jeddah and esports at Gamers8, this way maximizes shooting efficiency, preserves performance scene matching, and gives editors with many angles from each take.
Here is the short of it. We set up multi-camera configurations with matched camera bodies, synchronized settings, and integrated monitor kit across Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, and NEOM. Our team works alongside the broadcast infrastructure connected to NEOM Studios, Jax Film Studios, and PlayMaker Studios at Qiddiya — supporting Vision 2030 mega-events and the Saudi Film Commission's 40% cash rebates program.

8-20 camera concert + sports + corporate keynote builds — OB-truck integrated
Multi-camera event setups in Saudi Arabia cover an exceptionally dense mega-event calendar.
MDLBEAST Soundstorm in December at Banban is the largest Middle East EDM festival. It deploys 12-16 cameras across Mainstage, Big Beast, and Sirius stages. The kit is Sony HDC-3500 or 3100 broadcast systems on jib, Spidercam, and RF-handheld positions.
Riyadh Season runs annually with 17M+ visitors. Venues have Boulevard City, Boulevard World, Boulevard Riyadh, and Riyadh Front. The season sets up rotating multi-cam builds across concurrent stages.
Here is how this works in practice. Major sports events anchor the spring calendar. The F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit each March deploys 60+ FOM cameras. With Saudi Motorsport Company giving local crewing. The Saudi Cup horse race at King Abdulaziz Racetrack is the richest race worldwide at $20M (annual in February). It runs 18-22 cameras across track-side, infield, and helicam.
Here is the short of it. Other sports events fill out the year. The Diriyah Tennis Cup, LIV Golf Saudi, Saudi Pro League fixtures (Al Hilal with Ronaldo, Al Nassr with Benzema and Mané, Al Ittihad with Karim Benzema), and the FIFA Club World Cup all operate at Champions League broadcast tier.
Here is the breakdown. Beyond live sports, we cover the gala and cultural-event tier. Red Sea Global Film Festival opening galas at the Ritz-Carlton Jeddah and Al-Balad screening venues run 8-12 camera setups with red-carpet supplementary feed. The Saudi Film Festival Dhahran (the oldest, since 2008, at Ithra King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture) and the AlUla Film Awards both run prestige-event multi-cam.
Other coverage has Joy Forum Riyadh, Vision 2030 announcement events, and corporate keynote work for Saudi Aramco, PIF, and STC.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. OB-truck supply comes from several sources. Saudi Broadcasting Corporation (Riyadh and Jeddah) and MBC Group give domestic units. Global units fly in via Emirates SkyCargo DXB to RUH, under ATA carnet through Saudi Customs (ZATCA).
Here is how the picture comes as one. Compliance covers many bases. The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) covers Boulevard venues. GEA covers live-event filming permits. GCAM covers broadcast licensing. CST handles RF planning. The Cultural Development Fund rebates at 35% plus 5% Saudization uplift covers multi-cam spend through registered Saudi facilities.
FAQ
Live Production Expertise
How many cameras can you deploy?
Here is the breakdown. We often operate setups from 3 to 12+ cameras based on event scale. For major concerts at Boulevard City Riyadh or Banyan Tree AlUla events, we can deploy extensive camera packages including specialty positions like jibs, roving cameras, and POV units.
Do you provide live switching and direction?
Yes, our multi-camera packages have skilled vision mixers and directors who switch between cameras in real-time, creating a polished live edit. We can deliver a switched program feed, ISO recordings, or both.
Can you live stream our event?
Yes, we give full live streaming services including encoding, CDN delivery, and platform management for YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, or custom platforms. We can also give satellite uplink for broadcast.
What about IMAG for live audiences?
We give IMAG (Image Magnification) services for concerts and events, feeding live camera coverage to venue screens so audiences can see close-ups of performers and speakers.
Do you have OB van facilities?
We work with pro OB (Outside Broadcast) vans equipped with switching desks, tracking, audio mixing, and all needed infrastructure. Saudi Arabia's growing event infrastructure is fast expanding the regional OB van fleet.
How far in advance should we book?
For major Saudi events, we recommend booking 6-8 weeks ahead given Vision 2030 demand and needed GCAM permits. Smaller multi-camera shoots can often be arranged with 2-3 weeks notice.
