Opis planu kamerowego i rozgrywki w programie telewizyjnym typu teleturniej.

There is a single camera for the host, two cameras covering the contestants, and a jib which is used mainly for play-ons, play-offs and
audience coverage.

The editors build content for playback, play-ons and packages.

This segment features general questions and starts with a play-on featuring highlights from the past week.

Play-On / Play-Off

On TV and radio variety shows, a musical cue which is used to introduce a individual person (like the host) or an individual act, is called a "Play-On." It serves as walking music for the person or act to walk onto the stage. A "Play-Off" may be muscally related to the "Play-On" and serves to provide "walking music" while the act leaves the stage. Often such cues incorporate the signature tune for a particular person (like "Thanks For The Memory" played when Bob Hope walks on or off the stage.)
