They do deliver 4K HDR HLG
UEFA seems to have turned its back on 4K. While UEFA produced Euro 2020 matches (in 2021 because of You Know What) in Ultra HD, its world feed production from the tournament’s 11 venues delivering native 4K and HDR (HLG) to broadcasters around the world from its International Broadcast Centre in the Netherlands, it has decided to drop native 4K production for Euro 2024. Instead, it will provide its broadcast partners with a 1080p HD feed with HDR.
This isn’t an unprecedented downgrade. UEFA decided to capture the Champions League Final last month in 1080p HD and HDR too, marking the first time since 2015 it hadn’t captured the event in 4K. The Wembley showdown between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was shown in 4K and HDR by the final’s host broadcaster TNT Sports on its Ultimate channel in the UK, but it was reportedly ‘upscaled’ from the 1080p capture. While that would’ve increased perceived sharpness for those with 4K (or 8K) TVs, it naturally missed the finer details that a native 4K production would surface.
Why the u-turn? Well, as you might have guessed, the live 4K/HDR workflow is more technically difficult and expensive. In a nutshell, it involves substantially more cameras, plus four heavy-duty (3G-SDI) cables, each carrying a quadrant of the image that needs to be pieced back together again, and that output being constantly monitored by (another expense) kitted-out OB vans. If you’ve watched live sport in 4K before, you might well have experienced some teething problems – it’s doable but not easy.
And then there’s demand. At the 4K HDR summit last November, Ursula Romero, executive producer of International Sport Broadcasting (ISB), which has host-broadcast the biggest sporting events on the world stage, said that “we are constantly questioning whether we should broadcast in 4K and HDR”. She noted that younger people are increasingly interested in watching on devices as opposed to TVs, with everything revolving around social networks. Sport broadcasters are increasingly dabbling in ‘interactive this’ and ‘AR that’.

Romelol
Thx, let's hope OS on France deliver

Just saw the Doku giveaway and the Lukaku miss. Oof. Feel bad for Doku that his effort on that run wasn't rewarded. Unreal work.
Have to share an office with someone now so can't really watch games any more. :| Have another office elsewhere on campus so I'll have to go work out of there on game days I guess.

He's been talking up Saudi a bit, so hopefully he understands that no one wants him in Europe and that he should take whatever deal is offered from the Kingdom before washing up in MLS.
