For its UltraHD/4K live broadcast of the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the 2014 World Cup games, Globosat partnered with Envivio. This followed Envivio’s successful live 4K broadcast of the 2014 French Open tennis tournament in May.
“First tennis, then soccer — whatever the sport, Envivio’s leading technology and experience in powering world-watching live action events makes us the number one choice for content owners and service providers alike,” said Envivio’s CTO, Jean- Pierre Henot.
Envivio Muse Ultra HD is described as a high-quality live or file-based video encoding/transcoding solution that is designed to offer a new TV experience for viewers desiring to watch UltraHD quality programming on UltraHD compatible devices. Muse UltraHD can encode up to 4K video resolution in up to 60 frames per second, and offers a larger colour range with the new BT 2020 standard and can be encoded in eight- or 10 bits
