How clear is the 8K panoramic live broadcast of Rio Olympic Games?

20 16 Rio Olympic Games is about to open, but it is still looted by humble Olympic venues and national team members. Although the environment and hardware are unreliable, there are still some bright spots in this year's Olympic Games, in terms of live broadcast.

At the same time, NHK TV in Japan will try to broadcast the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games live with 8K resolution video.

Do you really need to see your hair clearly in 8K HD live broadcast?

The Olympic Games is "faster, higher and stronger", and the live broadcast of the Olympic Games is "clearer, clearer and clearer". Although 4K has not been fully popularized, 8K has been put on the agenda. Japan's NHK TV station has long said that it will broadcast the Rio Olympic Games with 8K resolution. However, just two days ago, NHK announced that it would pilot 4K and 8K programs on the BS satellite channel. It is reported that NHK successfully produced an ultra-HD movie with 8K resolution in 20 13. It is understood that NHK strives to actually broadcast 8K programs on BS satellite channels in 20 18 and popularize them in the year of Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

As for this year's Rio Olympic Games, according to the plan, NHK will broadcast the opening and closing ceremonies of the Rio Olympic Games in Brazil, which opened on the 5th of this month, and broadcast swimming and track and field competitions. Due to the scarcity of 8K TV, NHK will hold 8K public viewing activities in six locations in Tokyo and Osaka.

VR fire has arrived in Brazil, with not only videos but also panoramic photos.

As the hottest technology at the moment, VR naturally came to Rio. IN2 previously reported that Samsung and NBC will broadcast the 85-hour VR video of the Brazilian Olympic Games on the Gear VR platform, including the VR video of the opening and closing ceremonies, basketball, gymnastics, beach volleyball, boxing and other competitions. Unfortunately, it is not a live broadcast.

OBS will conduct VR video shooting for this Olympic Games in Brazil. One * * * will shoot 85 hours of VR video and provide it exclusively to Gear VR platform-an application called NBC Olympics will be launched.

In addition, Getty, a world-renowned photo agency, once said that photographers reporting in Rio this year will be given a 360 panorama camera to take panoramic photos. Previously, Getty had announced the establishment of a special virtual reality team.

Seeing these manufacturers and TV stations working so hard, the audience can basically rest assured. Even if there is something wrong with the Olympics, at least you can see it clearly and have a sense of existence.
