There is no doubt that the Olympic Sports Games, which are attended by many people around the world, are held every four years and have become the focus of world attention. With the continuous development of television technology, the traditional 1080P resolution has also become a barrier, and more and more sports fans hope to see a higher-definition 4K live broadcast event at home, because 4K video has quietly become a trend.
So, in the forthcoming 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will there be a 4K video broadcast? The chief technology officer responsible for the Olympic Games' video signal transmission has recently publicly stated that the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil will not broadcast live 4K TV signals. Let’s take a look.
According to Sotiris Salamouris, chief technology officer of the Rio de Janeiro television station in charge of the live broadcast of the 2016 Summer Olympics, because television broadcasters in many countries do not have the relevant hardware facilities, it is very difficult for the 4K Olympic Games to broadcast live. Although television stations in some countries, such as Japan, have even conducted 8K live television tests. However, for the Olympic Games, 4K ultra high-definition broadcast is still very far away.
