4K TV broadcasts underway

 


Super hi-definition 4K TV broadcasts began today in Japan.

Minister of Communications Yoko Kamikawa joined TV executives in launching the service.

4K TV boasts four times the pixels of regular hi-definition TV.

The first broadcasts included a game featuring the Giants pro baseball team by Nippon TV.

4K TV is free, but you’ll need a special 4K TV and tuner to view the channel.
