NBC Olympics has selected SES to provide 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) satellite distribution for its production of the XXIII Olympic Winter Games.

SES is distributing the NBC Olympics HDR feed to TV affiliates throughout the United States, utilising the SES-1 satellite located at 101 degrees West. As part of the implementation, SES has provided preconfigured satellite receivers to the affiliates that will be receiving the HDR feed. SES’s 4K platform provides multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs) in the United States access to the world’s largest bouquet of linear 4K programming.

“NBC Olympics is pleased to work with SES to offer 4K HDR coverage of the PyeongChang Games to our valued distribution partners,” said David Mazza CTO and SVP, NBC Olympics. “The HDR feed distributed by SES, and presented by Xfinity, will complement our HDR VOD offering available to MVPDs and satellite providers across the United States.”
