U

ltra HD piloted at Bundesliga
by Sky – Pay-TV platform Sky
Deutschland is pioneering tests for
Ultra HD (4K) recording. At the end
of last year it recorded a Bundesliga
game between FC Bayern Munich
and Borussia Dortmund in the
Allianz Arena in the format. Coinitiator and technology partner
for the technical realisation was
Wellen+Nöthen.
“This pilot project was an important
milestone for us,” explains Daniel
Url, Commercial Director at
Wellen+Nöthen. “For example, on
the basis of the test production we
have shown that the technology
required for a general 4K production
is already available today. As a
supplier and integrator, the market
maturity of the 4K technology is an
important prerequisite, in order to be
able to offer suitable solutions for an
end-to-end 4K workflow.”
As an interface between Sky

Deutschland, the production
company Kropac Media, Sony
Professional as well as Rohde &
Schwarz DVS, Wellen+Nöthen
coordinated the project.
Recording using a Sony F65 was
completed in the 4K50p HFR (High
Frame Rate) format with 50 images
per second which is particularly
suitable for the recording of fast
and dynamic scenes, and in 120p
for the slow motion scenes. The
enormous volumes of data were
stored on a total of ten 512 GB
SRMemory cards.
For the processing of the material
DVS contributed its post-production
solutions Pronto4K and CLIPSTER.
The latter was used for exporting
the data, the rough and highlight
cut as well as for colour correction
demonstrating a continuous
Ultra HD workflow.
