How F1 is laying the groundwork for its 8K TV future
“F1 has been quick to adapt to new broadcast technologies, moving from high definition to real HD and then to 4K ultra-high definition. Now, in collaboration with Tata Communications, it plans to prepare for the next industry standard, 8K resolution. The new images will be four times sharper than current broadcasts, signaling a continuous pursuit of improvement. While some may question the necessity of better picture quality, Dhaval Ponda of Tata Communications believes that 8K is the future, as global audiences have become accustomed to 4K and the younger generation expects even higher quality. Transitioning to 8K involves three key stages: investing in next-generation technologies, establishing an 8K ecosystem with technology partners, sports broadcasters, and federations, and making 8K screens affordable for consumers. Only when all these steps are achieved will F1 be able to deliver 8K broadcasts to its audience.”
