There are two possible locations for positioning the main camera. As Figure 1.1 and Figure 2.1 shows these two locations are both directly on the centerline of the ice, one on side of the penalty benches (Position 1) the second one directly on the opposite side – on side of the player’s benches (Position 2). The location of the main camera must be selected in such way, that there are no obstacles between the camera and the ice surface.

 The camera has to have a solid stand and it is not allowed to change the location between periods.
