FIFA World Cup 2018 will be entirely shot on 4K HDR cameras

[Axee]

All 64 matches at next summer's tournament in Russia will be produced in 4K UHD with HDR.
FIFA has announced plans to supply its Media Rights Licensees for next year's World Cup in Russia (which is BBC and ITV in the UK) with 4K UHD productions of each of the tournament's 64 games.
37 cameras (plus an additional eight super slow-mo cameras, a cable-cam and cineflex heli-cam) will offer broadcasters a choice of multiple broadcast formats from a single production chain. FIFA claims the improved baseline production format, plus HDR, will guarantee improved image quality regardless of the format individual Licensees ultimately choose to broadcast in.
FIFA has also stated its 4K UHD productions will also benefit from 'immersive audio', although details of specific audio broadcast formats are not, as yet, forthcoming.

So are we going to see any new Star Sports or Sony 4K Sports channel dedicated for the WC2018?

I guess it depends on demand .if there is enough demand for fifa cup and material gain for Sony then they will show it in 4k . Personally I am sticking with my full hd tv .reasons are quiet simple . Dth don’t have dedicated 4k channels uptil now .
