Which term describes a live field shot that requires a satellite truck to transmit?

• A. Remote
• B. Studio Shoot
• C. On Location
• D. Field Camera

Answer: (A)

Remote refers to a live field shot produced outside the studio that needs a satellite truck to send the signal back to the station. In this setup, a field crew sets up cameras and transmission gear on location, and the satellite uplink truck handles the live feed so viewers see the broadcast in real time. This differs from a studio shoot, which stays inside the control room and uses internal facilities to place the broadcast on air. On-location indicates outside the studio, but it doesn’t necessarily imply live transmission via satellite. A field camera is simply the equipment used in the field, not the method of transmission. So for a live field shot requiring satellite transmission, the correct term is remote.
