From the very beginning, we all knew it! Live 4K broadcast is POSSIBLE once a SUPER FAST broadband capable of handling 4K is rolled out on each homes.
So is the promise going to happen? World Cup in 4K Ultra High Definition?
Not in the way you would want and expect, says The Verge.
The blog recently reported, “Only three matches will actually be filmed in the format, with Sony handling the production; these will form part of the official World Cup documentary movie, which you’ll be able to download at some point after the tournament is over. Brazilian network Globo will also screen these games on outdoor 4K displays in Rio de Janeiro. But there won’t be any live streaming or broadcasts to the home, meaning anyone planning to watch the tournament on their new 4K set will have to make do with regular 720p channels. Sony declined to comment on the specifics of its 4K broadcasting technology and World Cup plans, except to say that UHD sports production is an “important strategic area” for the company.”
Well said. However, if you’re happy enough with your regular TV, you’re not going to miss out on much when the World Cup finally kicks off!
