So it may be like normal HD channel being broadcasted in some western country.......

 

[Shiwesh Kumar]

Yes...so at least like blu ray DVD? because 1080i regular HD channels in India are far more inferior than blu ray quality on same 1080p tv right?

4k resolution stream at 8 mbps speed. So any medium having capacity higher than it will be able to carry 4K signals.

 

[NinadG]

That means technically TS may push that so called 4K channel thru' HD STBs....only thing is codec requirement.....
or without codec...TP space requirement....?

Wanted to share this fact...from my understanding of this aritcle, we should be able to enjoy tata sky 4k on our 1080p tv and hdmi 1.4 cable as well (to considerable extent) as hdmi 1.4 cable supports following -

"While HDMI 1.4 has a throughput of 10.2Gbps, it's only enough to support a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 24, 25 and 30Hz or to display full 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels) at 24Hz."

And tata sky 4k specification is - 3840 x 2160

It's not only codec requirement, the chip(processor) on STB needs to have the capacity to stream 4K

 

[NinadG]

It's not only codec requirement, the chip(processor) on STB needs to have the capacity to stream 4K

So that means even for pure (western) quality HD (which is 4K for TS), one requires 4K STB........

So basically tatasky plans to add this 4k UHD channel for WC ?? Which means they will be showing lots of adverts on Star Sports HD channels ... I would be more happy if they had launched a ads free premium channel like during World T20 .. Be prepared to see lots and lots of adverts and even L shaped ones every second ball .. DISGUSTING !

 

[DashMajor]

^^ They will launch STAR SPORTS Premier HD for sure.

 

[Gaurang]

Where is the space bro ?? Wont this 4K channel take up all the space TS has been creating since past 2 months and we here have been getting happy thinking they will add the missing HD channels ??
