Not only the game, the performances and the commercials will also be broadcasted in 4K.
After broadcasting Thursday Night Football in 4K, Fox now prepared to take that technology to this year's Super Bowl, although Fox faced some technical issues while broadcasting Thursday Night Football in 4K, Fox says that it was prepared and assures that no such issue will repeat when broadcasting Super Bowl, Verge reports.
Actually the game will be recorded in HLG HDR format and than will be upscaled to 4K, last time when Fox broadcasted Thursday Night Football, they only broadcasted the actual game in 4K and HDR but now along with the Super Bowl game, Super Bowl performances and commercials will also be upscaled.
Steven Thorpe, VP of video platforms for Fox Sports, told Verge:
"From a production perspective, HLG is really the only way technically today to do live HDR through a live sports production workflow, Our goal is to have them be very similar,” said Steven Thorpe. “Of course, if you get somebody who looks at color for a living, I’m sure that they could pick out a few little minor differences. But our goal is to make it for consumers that they should really be an equal experience."
As Super Bowl is one of the most watched games of the year in US, lag is expected to viewers who stream the game online, for this issue Steven Thorpe explained to CNET:
"I would expect users to see about 12 second to 1 minute of latency [behind the venue] depending on a variety of factors including: device type, network, and other conditions."
Mike Davies, SVP of field operations for Fox Sports said:
"We’re definitely riding the rails of what we did for Thursday Night Football in terms of the game, you know, just on a bigger scale. I mean, we have at least three times the cameras that we had, for Thursday Night Football, and notably, we’re also going to be doing our shoulder programming in UHD as well."
The equipment that Fox is using to Broadcast the Super Bowl game has being in use for a quiet a long time which means it was tested and was prepared for a big event like this, on this Steven Thorpe commented:
"It’s the same ecosystem that’s done the World Series. It’s the same system that did the Women’s World Cup last summer. It’s the same system that did every single NFL game on Fox this past fall. And so from a core system perspective, we’ve actually been testing, every single day, for a number of months."
