Dear Sursounders, BBC R&D in partnership with Japan's NHK will be screening the Olympics using NHK's 'Super-High Vision' system this summer. The system combines 4k video (16 times bigger than HD) with a 22.2 audio system (described here: http://www.nhk.or.jp/digital/en/technical/pdf/IBC2007_08040907.pdf <blocked::http://www.nhk.or.jp/digital/en/technical/pdf/IBC2007_08040907 .pdf> ) It will be available in three sites across the UK - London, Glasgow and Bradford.
