Supercars: Foxtel to broadcast Bathurst 1000 in 4K ultra-high definition
A SPORTS broadcasting revolution will begin at Mount Panorama next month with
the Bathurst 1000 set to become the first ever Australian sporting event to be
broadcast in 4K.
Foxtel yesterday announced the next generation of ultra-high definition television
would be launched at the Bathurst 1000 on October 7 in a history making moment
for both Supercars and Australian TV.
“The Supercheap Bathurst 1000 will be broadcast live in 4K,’’ said Foxtel CEO
Patrick Delany.
“For the first time in Australia, a live iconic sporting event, the Bathurst 1000 will be
broadcast in 4K. It will be the start of Foxtel’s 4K journey for sport, entertainment,
documentaries and movies.
“And beginning on November 4 our cricket coverage commences in 4K as well.’’
Delany revealed Foxtel had secretly filmed in 4K at the last round of the Supercars at
Sandown in a successful test that paved the way for the Bathurst 1000 broadcast
bombshell.
“When we announced Foxtel in 4K a month ago we challenged ourselves to bring it
to life as soon as possible and after an incredible amount of work we are delighted to
bring Australians Bathurst like never before,'' Delany said.
“We did a full test at Sandown last week and the pictures leapt off the screen in 4K, it
was amazing – we are ready to go for Bathurst.
“It’s fitting that we will ring in a new era in Australian television with an event as big
as the action at Mount Panorama.”
The 1000km race will be shown on a dedicated 4K channel that will broadcast in the
highest resolution available in TV.
“Supercars is a sport of colour, sound and movement,” said Supercars CEO
Sean Seemer said.
“The cars, the action, excitement and the colour of this iconic Australian event will be
captured like never before. We couldn’t be any more excited.”
Former Bathurst champion Mark Winterbttom said the 4K coverage would be
viewers in the driver’s seat for Australia’s most famous car race.
“You will be looking through our eyes,’’ Winterbottom said.
“And you will see things you have never been able to see. You will be able to see
little things like debri on the road and bits of rubber flying of tyres. The extra
definition will have the viewer picking up the same things that we are seeing in the
driver’ seat.
“The more detail the better. Most people have 4K television’s and have never used
that capability so it is a fantastic innovation from Foxtel and great for our sport.’’
The Bathurst 1000 begins with practice at Mount Panorama on October 4.
