BBC To Trial 4K World Cup Broadcasting
- Digital Spy, Thursday, June 5, 2014 3:53 PM
The BBC is to experiment with 4K broadcasting technology during the 2014 World Cup. Although not open to viewing by the public, Sony's Ultra HD footage will be used as a means to see exactly how difficult 4K broadcasting would be. The BBC's R&D labs will be in charge of the process, working alongside Arqiva to send live streams via satellite to the UK. The Research and Development wing of the BBC has previously been involved in testing 8K Ultra HD recordings of the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony.
