The 49ers created a 40-person production team to oversee 13 stadium cameras for in-stadium broadcasts during games. That crew also uses 10 Sony cameras included in the overall project to create non-game action 4K content.
Ntek has been hurriedly working with UHD TV makers to embed their UltraFlix app in their sets and with others to embed the app in their set-top boxes and connected devices.
Ntek needed two tech partners to get its service's content to the home. The first was with video processing kingpin Harmonic, which helped encoded the content in preparation for distribution over the web.

The second was with Verizon's Edgecast content delivery network (CDN) which optimizes the delivery of video content to consumer devices. Ntek claims working with Verizon's CDN results in live UHD video with uninterrupted viewing at 8 megabits per second.

A CDN element was a no-brainer given the need to maintain a high-quality viewer experience for video content that is much more bandwidth demanding the HD. As you know, there's little tolerance for quality problems when you are paying
Live 4K programming necessitated the CDN partnership though content distribution networks have been used to stream live sports
Ntek's service, and efforts with the 49ers, are solid evidence that the 4K ecosystem is coming together quicker than many believe.
So, is it 4K frenzy or frustration for sports-minded consumers?
Convincing its broadcast partners to invest the sizable funds needed for cameras and other equipment needed to shoot live NFL games in 4K resolution is, predictably, taking time, with much of the focus on generating a healthy return on investment for the substantial financial undertaking.
[/bIs Apple Funding it? from this report Yahoo says yes!!!
Apple has confirmed to Yahoo Finance that it is a Super Bowl Host Committee sponsor.
The Super Bowl Host Committee is critical to the presentation and ultimate playing of the Super Bowl. ( without them No Super Bowl)
Like a regular business, the Host Committee has employees that work on the day-to-day functions needed to plan events, entertainment, and most other facets required to get Super Bowl week, and the Super Bowl, off the ground. Above the leadership team is an advisory board that provides help where needed.
Also new to the UltraFlix service is a Live 4K feature, which has been undergoing extensive interop testing with all of the current and upcoming OEM partners. “With recent successful testing of live 4K streaming from the 49ers Stadium, we are excited to continue to expand our network, including upcoming live 4K events that cannot be found anywhere else,” stated Aaron Taylor, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for NanoTech. “Adding Live 4K sports, concerts and news to our growing line-up of 4K ON Demand Content is exactly what this burgeoning 4K market wants. We’re very excited to be on the forefront here as well.”
