SES will team with ARTE, the European culture channel, to broadcast the Le Corsaire ballet Saturday live in Ultra HD from the Vienna State Opera, the companies said in a Tuesday announcement. The show will be beamed via the Astra satellite at 19.2 degrees east to Ultra HD screens equipped with H.265 decoders, they said. SES Platform Services will manage the live-encoding and satellite uplink, they said. “Broadcasting in Ultra HD is becoming increasingly relevant for broadcasters,” said SES.
