During the tournament over 120 crew from Euro Media Group companies have supplied the television coverage of matches from Natal, Recife and Rio de Janeiro as well as aerial coverage of all 12 host cities. In total, crew from CTV, Euro Media France, United and Videohouse have deployed more than 60 Sony cameras for the production of the international signal for 16 matches, including a quarter-final and the final. DVS supplied super slow motion shots with 8 engineers, over 36 games, deploying two Superloupe for each match for HBS.
