The Milan Olympics in native Ultra HD with immersive sound on France 2 UHD

Innovations

As with the Paris Olympics, France 2 UHD will broadcast the events in native UHD HDR. But this year, to further improve the quality, the images will be broadcast in HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which allow the contrast balance to be adjusted scene by scene. These two competing standards share the market for recent televisions.

On the audio side, a new user experience is also available for owners of Dolby AC-4-compatible televisions.

Three mixing options will be available:

• traditional mixing, with a balance between commentary and ambient sound
• mixing where the commentary is increased by 6 dB to improve the intelligibility of human voices
• ambient sound only, without commentary

Following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, France Télévisions continues its commitment to UHD for its viewers and is proud to offer the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in native UHD. With exceptional image quality and more immersive sound, experience these Olympic Games as if you were on the track or ice rink with the athletes, and enjoy this exceptional spectacle.
