those aren't coming from a tv camera, but whichever type of std camera the track is using for their photo finishes (either older film or digital SLR type cameras, mostly digital that can have their picture blown up quickly by computer). The graininess from them is from blowing up a digital pic too much for the resolution of the camera.
