Ultra HD...4K....HDR....it's the lingo that has been around since 2014 within the professional and consumer broadcasting industry to designate the newest TV image quality standard and format. More pixels, deeper colors, emotional light rendering, artistic intent...all can be experienced when watching a 4K/Ultra HD program on 4K/Ultra HD TV set. While consumers are increasingly equipping their homes with the new, sleek, large 4K/Ultra HD TV screens (10% of homes in Western Europe), the content world is progressively setting up to accommodate the rich production cycle, and media groups and TV channels are increasingly releasing this format in their development strategies. A number of linear Ultra HD channels are already broadcast via satellite worldwide, providing spectacular immersive experiences, while several cable and IPTV operators are increasingly upgrading their set-top-boxes and securing 4K content to allow this rich experience for their subscribers. Do you want to know how many 4K/Ultra HD channels/services are up and running today? My colleague Michel Chabrol and I will discuss this at #MIPTV next week at the Ultra HD Opening Session, together with Paul Gray from IHS Markit, Joe Nakata from Sony Corporation, and many other leaders and producers in this fascinating space, under the scrupulous moderation of Chris Forrester! Come to our session to find out how this format is evolving! Get in touch if you wish to know more.
