Re: 2009 - Live camera feed to drivers during a match?

I was looking through Section 8 of the Manual, and I could not find anything that prohibited displaying the live video feed from the camera on the PC dashboard at the operator's station during a match.

Enlightenment requested.
From which camera? Standard rules are in place for non-KOP cameras (<R69>).

However, the KOP camera is classed as a vision sensor (<R02>C refers to vision sensors as remote sensing capabilities, and the camera is certainly a vision sensor). I can't find anything that would prohibit that one being sent back to the operator station. I would ask in Q&A. I expect that the answer would be "yes" for that camera only.
