\n

As a global news channel providing programming to viewers around the world, CNN is always seeking to enhance its technology used to deliver first-in-class content. Recently, as part of these efforts, CNN\u2019s technology team made a 4K contribution feasibility test between their London and US locations using Sapphire codecs with equipment on loan from Broadcast Wireless Systems.<\/p>\n

\"\"The test was designed to determine if a 4K contribution sent via a Sapphire encoder<\/a> and a 100Mb\/s dedicated circuit over the Internet from London could offer the quality and reliability required for anchoring special news coverage in the US, with a background live scene coming from a London news location. The event to be covered was the Royal funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh at Windsor Castle on 17 April.<\/p>\n

\"\"For CNN\u2019s special live coverage, 4K images were used in the Studio wall behind news anchors in the US. CNN borrowed a Sapphire decoder<\/a> for use in the US to match with the Sapphire encoders already being used in London. \u00a0The images were carried live without a glitch throughout CNN\u2019s 2-hour coverage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\u201cWe were pleased with the outcome and look forward to future testing as new solution opportunities become available,\u201d said Andy Maun, International Field Engineering Manager for CNN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
