Sky Filming Key Titles in Ultra-High Definition (4K Resolution)
According to a TechRadar report, Sky is getting ready for the Ultra HD TV revolution by filming key titles in ultra-high definition (4K Resolution) format.
In an interview with TechRadar during the F1 trials in 3D, John Cassy Director of Sky 3D, was very upbeat about the prospect of ultra-high definition in 3D.
“From our point of view Sky always has been, and we hope always will be, at the front of TV innovation in the UK,” Cassy said. “If you look at what drives TV development it’s better picture and better sound, so we went from silent and black and white, to sound and black and white, to colour, to digital to HD and now 3D and so there will be future technologies. We have a watching brief on ultra hd and 4K.”
Cassy reported that selected titles such as Attenborough shows have already been filmed in 4K.
“Actually what we have been doing, the Attenborough shows have all be filmed in 4K and in some cases 5K so they have ben captured and future-proofed in a sense, as far as we can. But we’re playing around with it.”
He was also quick to point out that the new ultra-high definition (4K Resolution) will suit passive and glasses-free 3D.
“There are very clear benefits that 4K gives 3D,” added Cassy. “The resolution is better and also it could help in glasses-free 3D because it enables that technology.”
