This exists mostly as a Facebook group that is activated every so often. Graphics mostly from Seale Hayne as the most solid effort was around two Music and beer Festivals, sadly not continued. For about ten years it has been possible to do some sort of video with fairly cheap equipment if the performers do not mind and the audience can accept the production standards.
There is a case that the video may get enough views to promote the next event, the venue or the music. Could a venue be persuaded to invest in video? Could be just positions for a good line of sight. Or sound direct from the desk. this has happened on occasions but still quite variable. Exeter often relies on video from other locations.
Camera Studies because the technology keeps changing, often getting cheaper or more capable.
Jo Gedrych did some early tests with Exeter TV and some YouTube clips. He has made a study of local cable TV in the USA and is a Visiting Fellow for the Centre. However he now lives in the USA so rarely visits Exeter. He may have some ideas though.
Exeter City Council are thinking about a major venue. Camera positions could be part of the design. Even build some cameras into the ceiling with a remote control. When there is a budget for the building some cameras may seem a reasonable extra.
Meanwhile most likely that cheaper cameras will be the option. At BETT this year there was a version of Padcaster for mobile phones, a rig that connected to a tripod, lights etc. Known as a Verse but not in UK yet. Any clues welcome, online or on June 9th.
