As you enter the ballroom, the venue of the match, you can see three robotic cameras inside the sound-proof enclosure, and another in front of the premium ticket seats.
If you think they are Doordarshan’s, you are wrong. They belong to ChessTV, a Russian company.

The feed from ChessTV is given to Doordarshan which distributes it.
