Behind the scenes of Europe’s first free-to-air Ultra HD channel, pearl.tv
The German shopping channel will broadcast in Ultra HD come September. We caught up with Dr. Michael Sichler, the man who has his vision set on Ultra HD.
When we began to broadcast in HD back in the days, we also started with 100 percent pure native HD content. The same will be true for Ultra HD.”
The broadcasting of pearl.tv will become a reality thanks to SES Platform Services which is taking care of the encoding of pearl.tv UHD live signal, as well as its uplink to the SES satellites. In addition to preparing the TV signal, SES Platform Services is also enabling the channel’s delivery via the internet, managing the Content Delivery Network (CDN) supplying the stream. Since 2013, SES Platform Services has been overseeing the Ultra HD tests and show cases for Sky Deutschland, achieving first-ever live broadcasts in UHD: a football game based on the new HEVC compression standard in April 2014, and a Linkin Park Concert in November 2014. Now pearl.tv, Europe’s first free-to-air Ultra HD channel, comes as a significant and outstanding add up on the list.
