What is Video Camera

Narrative Theory and Therapy in the Post-Truth Era
A video camera is a device that captures moving image information from live environments and encodes it into data that can be converted or converted to electronic visual media. A typical digital camera consists of a lens, image sensor, storage media, and many other features that can be found in other cameras (such as scalable aperture, filters, and flash). Video technology dates back to the mid-twentieth century, with the first videotape recordings used in television broadcasts in the early 1950s. At the same time, digital technology was developing in the field of computer programming. However, video remained an analog format for the next few decades. The main difference between analog and digital media is that the former is a continuous stream whereas the latter consists of discrete values (digits) representing picture information. Analog video cameras were initially huge and difficult to use, but evolved into portable “camcorders” in the 1980s. Eventually, camera devices adopted the ability to record digital information, and digital video replaced most other motion picture formats as its quality surpassed that of previous analog formats. Most camcorders now available on the consumer market are digital camcorders. The digital format allows for easy editing and sharing of video.

Abstract
Today, dozens of cameras are placed at various points on the football field, making sure that no detail is overlooked. The positions are reviewed using the video assistant system (VAR). However, despite the existence of live broadcast cameras and their technology-integrated structure, there is a position to be discussed after the match; the truth is reinterpreted. As Umberto Eco emphasizes, live-action, where television time and real-time are closest to each other, is not a mere repetition of an event, but an interpretation. In the chapter, the poetics of truth in football is discussed in the historical and technological process.
