Non-profit association UDH SPAIN, established on January 2021, has started their first demo broadcastings in UHD, HDR and SDR, via satellite, terrestrial and Internet streaming. This first simulcast consolidates UHD SPAIN’s commitment to develop a collaborative framework around new audiovisual technologies, especially UHD (Ultra High Definition), in order to demonstrate the potential of this standard to the industry and the general public.
Broadcasting starts from MEDIAPRO’s studios in Barcelona with new continuities provided by VSN and encoding systems from SAPEC. From OVERON, UHD HDR and SDR signals are collected for distribution in different media: HISPASAT is in charge of satellite broadcasting; CELLNEX, AXION, and TELECOM CLM distribute the signal via DTT through more than 45 broadcasting centers throughout Spain. The official website of UHD SPAIN is in charge of the Internet broadcasting, for which ATEME is in charge of the encoding of the content and DOLBY has provided its experience and infrastructure for the implementation of the streaming service of this first demonstration.
In order to receive these UHD channels through your TV, the user must, depending on the reception technology available, if it is through DTT, tune the channel corresponding to your area, which can be found on the official website of UHD Spain.
In parallel to these broadcasts, the different working groups of UHD SPAIN (capture, post-production, encoding, broadcast and reception) will carry out numerous technical tests in relation to HDR, WCG (Wide Color Gamut) and the necessary transmission parameters, among others, and whose conclusions will be included in the White Paper to be published by the association in November, on the occasion of the main event on Ultra High Definition worldwide: the 4K HDR Summit (November 16-19, 2021).
