UHD Alliance Plans CES News Conference, Its First Ever

The year-old UHD Alliance plans its first-ever news conference at CES, representatives of the group confirmed Wednesday in “save-the-date” media alerts. Formation of the alliance was announced at the last CES (see 1501050023). The Mandalay Bay event is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 4, immediately after the conclusion of CES Unveiled Las Vegas, they said. Featured speakers will include UHD Alliance President Hanno Basse and senior executives from Disney, Fox, Sony Pictures and Warner, they said. The alliance plans to have “a lot of things to share” at CES, including details on its logo, licensing and compliance programs, Basse told us at the IFA show in Berlin (see 1509080050).
