Lucky you, if you have managed to lay your hands on Olympic events tickets, but if you couldn't, then no need to despair. You can still
have all the fun, for BBC is planning to air the super event in Super Hi Vision resolution. BBC is planning to install three giant screens at Broadcasting House in London, the National Media Museum in Bradford and Pacific Quay building in Glasgow. Each screen will be 15 meter high and would bring you the ultra HD experience.
BBC detailed that the resolution of Hi Vision telecast will be 16 times sharper than regular HD resolution. And this might be your only chance to watch this spectacle, we mean Hi Vision not Olympics, in this decade, since compatible TVs for consumer consumption are not likely to hit the markets any time before 2022. Currently, Sharp is rumored to be working on an 85 inch TV which uses Hi Vision technology. Originally, the idea was developed in 1969, but it did not find many takers. Probably, the concept was pretty ahead of its time.
BBC is also looking to broadcast the event in 3D. Currently, only 100 meters Finals are slated to be transmitted in 3D. Roger Mosey, executive in charge of BBC Coverage of Olympics, said, "When you sit and watch it you really get the experience of being in seat D5 in the stadium. Super hi-vision might be a better long-term prospect than 3D in some ways."
