Television productions in China may operate with one-way wireless video links that do not support remote iris control or tally feedback from the control center.
When wireless tally and camera control are unavailable, the camera operator must manually control exposure and focus, while the camera setup and white balance are established by technical staff before recording begins.
Some Chinese television facilities configure wireless systems as receive-only links rather than bidirectional control systems.
Post-production editing may compensate for minor differences between camera outputs when live broadcasting is not required.

Experiences described are from specific productions at particular facilities around 2013 and may not represent current practices across all Chinese broadcasters.
The claim about post-production compensation for camera mismatches was reported as hearsay rather than direct technical confirmation.
Conflicting accounts exist regarding whether wireless tally systems are completely absent or simply uncommon in Chinese television production.
