The vibrant red 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) live broadcast vans from China Media Group (CMG), affectionately known as the “Chinese red” vans, rolled out of Paris’s Stade de France on Monday, marking the end of a groundbreaking chapter in Olympic broadcasting history.
Arriving in the heart of France on July 16, these state-of-the-art broadcast vans embarked on a mission to bring the world closer to the exhilaration of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Over the course of the games, they delivered more than 60 hours of stunning 8K UHD live signals, covering the thrill of the track and field events and capturing the grandeur of the closing ceremony.
This technological feat made Paris 2024 the first Summer Olympics to feature an 8K UHD public broadcast signal, offering audiences around the globe an unprecedented viewing experience. The clarity and depth of the 8K broadcasts immersed viewers in the action, making them feel as if they were in the stadium alongside the athletes.
The departure of CMG’s broadcast vans, just six hours after the closing ceremony, symbolizes not only the end of the games but also a significant advancement in global sports broadcasting. Their journey from Beijing to Paris represents a bridge of technological innovation and cultural exchange between Asia and Europe.
As the “Chinese red” vans head home, they leave behind a legacy of pushing the boundaries of how we experience live sports, setting a new standard for future international events.
