Wolf could actually see her.

When Yellin was explaining the technology to Wolf, she commented on how the cameras are linked so her cameras "move, and they know when to move when the cameras in New York move." If it was as you describe, where she was actually visible live, in the studio - Wolf could see her - then it would not matter "when the cameras in New York move." The only reason the cameras would need to be synced is if it's an in-camera effect.
And it is most assuredly
not a Pepper's ghost effect.
EDIT: I'm sorry, I shouldn't actually call it an "in-camera effect," since that term has a pretty specific meaning in special effects terminology and it's pretty much the opposite of the way I've used it here. CNN's hologram was a video effect, not a live effect.
