I would say that there's a decent chance that the parties are providing the video from the main stage, or at least coordinating a pool among the major news networks. What I don't know is how involved the party is in the moment-to-moment directorial choices beyond the canned videos, if they are playing a part at all. At the bare minimum of what I've seen, there seems to be a single source of video: MSNBC and Fox were matching C-SPAN shot for (reaction) shot in the speeches a few minutes ago.
