For CBS' live stream of Super Bowl XLVII, the network will
be offering a variety of additional second-screen features, including
alternative camera angles, a live stream of the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime
Show featuring Beyoncé and immediate access to the Super Bowl commercials as
they are broadcast on CBS.
"CBSSports.com will deliver an unprecedented multi-media
experience for Super Bowl XLVII," said Jim Lanzone, president of CBS
Interactive, in a statement. "We have developed a deeply integrated
second-screen environment that perfectly complements the television broadcast
of the game, from the pre-game show to the presentation of the Lombardi
Trophy."
Additional camera angles will include: a camera angle
providing a high, full-field view from the 50-yard line showing all players on
the field; a fan choice camera that will move during the game based on a
producer's choices or the results of audience polls; a sideline camera angle
providing field-level views; and a cable camera angle for aerial views.
