The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia, provided a glorious backdrop for Pope Francis’ recent visit to the city, where a special papal mass was celebrated for the people of the Archdiocese. Live video feeds of the mid-morning mass for the 2,200 congregants as well as for worldwide viewers were made possible by several newly-installed Panasonic remote production cameras, including six AW-HE130 integrated 1/3” pan/tilt/zoom and two AW-HE870 2/3” 3-CCD multi-purpose units.
