In a historic move ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics, a fleet of six 8K ultra-high-definition live broadcast vehicles from China Media Group (CMG) has arrived in Paris. The arrival of these cutting-edge vehicles marks the first time in Olympic history that a Summer Games will feature an 8K ultra-high-definition public broadcast signal.
The CMG vehicles made an impressive entry into the city on Tuesday, journeying past iconic French landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, and the Arc de Triomphe before reaching the Stade de France. Their presence not only signifies technological advancement in broadcasting but also highlights the collaborative spirit between China and France in the realm of international sports coverage.
Local residents and overseas Chinese in Paris expressed excitement as the vibrant red CMG trucks, adorned with Beijing license plates, made their way through the city streets. Li Jie, a Chinese student in France, shared her enthusiasm: “I was so thrilled when I saw the red CMG trucks coming, with Beijing license plates. I felt China is really strong. It’s very good.”
Paris resident Yaghi Hami echoed this sentiment, calling the sight “a beautiful surprise.” He remarked, “Our Chinese friends have come to Paris, to promote the city as the focus of world sports during the Olympics. This is wonderful. CMG’s broadcast trucks have passed by the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe, and more. We are thrilled. This is fantastic. Thank you very much.”
The deployment of CMG’s advanced broadcast vehicles is set to enhance the viewing experience for audiences worldwide, bringing the excitement of the Olympics to screens with unprecedented clarity and detail.
