Sky records football game in 4K
·
Munich pay-TV broadcaster Sky has announced for the first time to want to record in German TV history in a football game, "Ultra HD", so with four times the full HD resolution. On Saturday it will be in the Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich Borussia Dortmund two 4K cameras are used. According to Sky wants to "underline position as an innovation leader in the TV and entertainment area in Germany and Austria" his.
But even if Sky CEO Brian Sullivan this result by saying, "Ultra HD is incredibly exciting for us and even more exciting for our customers," comments the audience of the new image quality has been nothing. Actually serves to record the pay-TV channel only "internal testing", but nevertheless should be "just the first of many more steps" in the Ultra HD. A TV broadcast is according to the official press release at this time is not explicitly planned
Since Sky but is promoting the development by its own account, "to at the next TV revolution to be there front," may speculate at least, that the game - or at least excerpts - broadcast it over the 4K demo channel will be the Astra announced a few days ago for the coming year. However, currently there is a lack in the retail market yet to receive appropriate solutions in the area of 4K TVs and projectors it looks far from meager.
However, it should anyway be debated whether the 4K playback meaningful to ordinary televisions in the home is - and whether at Sky Ultra HD rather not squint at the public viewing area. What is certain is that 4K be a big issue at the beginning of January for upcoming Consumer Electronics Show CES in Las Vegas is expected.
