The camera operators seem to use CuePilot, a Danish software that usually is used in proffesional and expensive productions. The software is an automation system that allows the television maker to foresee the upcoming shots and rearrange the camera moves and angles.

Swedish broadcaster and organiser of this year’s Eurovision SVT is going to work daily at the Arena to make sure that everything will be ready for the stand-in rehearsals, that are expected later this week.

We remind you that the first rehearsals with the artists are scheduled on Saturday, April 27.
