The leading Russian DTH platform Tricolor TV has undertaken an Ultra
HD demonstration, working in conjunction with a number of partners
including Eutelsat, Ericsson, Rohde & Schwarz and LG Electronics.
Quoted by Comnews and AKTR, Tricolor TV’s spokesperson Anna Sopova said
that the technology is still undeveloped, with it being difficult to
find a single 4K-ready video in Russia longer than 60 seconds.
Julia Shahmanova, the head of content at Tricolor TV, meanwhile said
that Ultra HD receivers are still an expensive R500,000 (€11,700) and it
does not yet make sense to begin broadcasting in the format.
Analysts believe commercial packages containing 4-5 Ultra HD channels are unlikely to appear in Russia before the end of 2016.
