33MP at 240fps means about 8GPix/s, I suppose more than 8bit/pixel, so >10GByte/sec data to move around. What technology is used to link "camera", "signal processor" and "recorder" in such systems? This must also be usable in TV recording settings like in a sports stadium, covering quite long distances, being robust etc. What type of cable links and transmission technologies are used in such settings?
I'd guess a thin optical fiber is the easiest option. 112Gbps fiber links are available today.
We can extrapolate the speeds to one needed for VR broadcasts. 16K resolution is a bare minimum there. 120fps or 180fps is the normal shooting speed. So, 4x slow motion is 480-720fps. The data speed would be well beyond half-terabit per second. Optical cables are inevitable then. Maybe even DWDM coherent links.
