An 84 inch TV screen will be used to test the quality of the UHDTV pictures that multiply by four the number of pixels on screen with a capacity of 35 Mbps to be reduced by half in the future by compression tecniques, according to the company. During the event, Abertis Telecom will also be testing DVB-T2 with simulcast transmissions for UHDTV and mobility devices.
