In the case of Universum, they chose to use multiple cameras to film the event. Therefore it was possible to view the studio from different angles, switch between speakers and zoom-in the image. In this way, viewers could also take in the content on the LED screens. Viewers were also able to see the name and title of the person in the picture and that content such as pre-produced films was played directly on the TV screen.
