BBC Extending 4K HDR Livestreaming Trials to Wimbledon Tennis

The BBC, livestreaming trials of 29 World Cup matches in 4K with hybrid log-gamma HDR over its iPlayer internet catchup service (see 1806200001), will extend those trials to Wimbledon tennis, it said Thursday. Viewers with an iPlayer, compatible TV and an internet connection of at least 40 Mbps will be able to watch all Centre Court matches when the tournament gets underway July 2 for a two-week run, said the BBC.
