French term

captation

French to English Bus/Financial Media / Multimedia company description for catalogue
Description of audiovisual company activity/equipment supply:

"...objectif broadcast destinés aux tournages vidéo tout support ( bétacam digital & SP, DV ou autre) en E.N.G. ou captation multi-caméras."

I need the correct professional term in English for "captation". ("E.N.G." means "electronic news gathering", for instance...)

multi-camera coverage of news

As in the example of:
Live TV coverage of this month’s historic Parliamentary sessions in Glasgow will be possible thanks to a deal agreed today by the Parliament, BBC Scotland and Scottish Television.
Multi-camera coverage of the five plenary days in Glasgow – on May 17, 18, 24, 25 and June 1 – will now be possible, ensuring business can be covered by all broadcasters in a similar fashion to that in Edinburgh.

Sorry, Adam. I couldn't confirm this whole term exists. For sure, we can talk about "multi-camer" coverage of specific events but I don't know if we could say "of news" - it looks a bit too general.

Doesn\'t this make the most sense if what your company there is to MAKE VIDEOS and one of their specialities is to film with various cameras at the SAME TIME??

Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, multi-camera shooting, or even just multicamera tout court; Jane's explanation and analysis is exactly right. I'd avoid 'filming', simply because multi-camera is also sometimes used with real 'film'!
