Satellite operator Intelsat is teaming up with BT Media and Broadcast, Ericsson, Sony and Newtec to transmit the Saracens vs. Gloucester rugby union match live from London in 4K Ultra-HD to the RAI Convention Center at IBC 2013.

This will be the first time a live event has ever been captured in 4K/UHD, encoded, transmitted via fibre and satellite, and decoded in real time. Intelsat says the demo will show true 4K transmission: A 4:2:2, 10-bit, 4K/UHD signal at 60 frames per second.

The demo will take place Sunday, 15 September between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Intelsat’s Stand: Hall 1, C71.
