ARLINGTON, Texas – ESPN's broadcast of the College Football Playoff National Championship game between Oregon and Ohio State will include cameras embedded in the pylons in the corner of the end zones.

It's the second time ESPN has used the technology, which was first tried at the FCS Championship on Saturday.

The pylons include two cameras stacked on top of each other. One faces down the sideline while the other runs down the goal line. The field of vision from the goal line pylon cameras runs from approximately the 12-yard-line to three yards deep in the end zone.

Pylons in the back corners of the end zones are also outfitted with cameras. In addition to being available for viewers at home, officials at the title game will have access to replays via the pylon cameras for any reviews.

Pylons that include cameras are a little lighter than a traditional pylon because they must be hollowed out for the equipment. Each pylon communicates with an antenna stationed on the sidelines on the goal lines.

The four antennas have an operator to ensure that the wireless signal from the pylons to the antennas isn't being interfered with by the wireless signals in AT&T Stadium and he or she can move the antennas up and down or side to side if necessary for the best signal between the pylons and the antennas.
