There's been a trend lately for cinemas to screen live performances from a theatre through the wonders of digital projection. I've yet to sample one of these, but seeing the adverts make me wonder... Are such performances recorded? As in the video stream sent to these cinemas? Or are they considered a "one off experience" like in the theatre itself? Would performers' contacts prevent recordings being made except if specifically agreed for TV or DVD/BD sales?

Live streamed performances are often the norm (and more expensive for the customer). But these performances are/can be recorded and then screened at a later date elsewhere or indeed again at the same venue. Depends on the contract with e.g. the RSC, National Theatre, Covent Garden Opera House (all three of which have permanent TV facilities) or some other performance from an arena or theatre using hired in equipment.

If a professional broadcast- everything is recorded. The data stream would be archived on site. The recording would be captured by EVS (the program feed + occasionally post work - will be done and ISO cameras recorded) then dumped to tape/DVD/HDD. Tapes would also make a seperate back up. Whomever distributes the data would also record off-air as such.

I work in a cinema and do the majority of these live screenings. Most shows are broadcast live over satellite and then a recording is sent to us as a DCP so we can show it again. So yes, its all recorded
