POKERDOME

26 cameras cover a 6 player table. The audience can see in and knows what the players have for cards and their heart rate but the players can not see out. A jib and a handheld cover the audience. 12 -- 46"LCDs are used for iso monitors and card data and a Barco R9+ projects the center image.

On set 6 robos, 6 hole card cams, 3 peds, 1 jib, a dealer cam, 2 mini-robos, a reverse set cam, a spy cam and a flop cam cover the action. 12 -- 42" plasma monitors are on set as well as a large Versa Tube wall behind the players.
