Intelsat will partner with Latin American broadcaster Globo to demonstrate live 8K video transmissions in Brazil for the 2018 World Cup.
Content will be broadcast as part of an exhibition at the Museu de Amanhã
science museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from June 15th to July 15th.
The 8K signal will be transmitted as a 200 Mbps video stream from the International Broadcast Centre in Moscow, Russia and transported to Tokyo, Japan. It will then be carried to Intelsat via its point of presence in New York, United States.
The signal will be transmitted on the IntelsatOne terrestrial network to the company’s teleport in Georgia, United States, where it will be re-encoded at 90 Mbps using the NTT 8K HEVC real-time encoder. Once the video is compressed, it will be modulated by a Newtec MDM6100 Broadcast Satellite Modem in DVB-S2 and then uplinked to Intelsat 14, the company’s emerging HD video neighbourhood in Latin America, known for its HD and 4K content distribution.
