WinterOlympics

As you might already know, 4K Ultra-HD is the next-generation resolution that offers an incredibly immersive viewing experience, with the technology able to deliver four times the resolution of Full-HD. Panasonic is at the forefront of 4K developments, both in professional video and of course, consumer markets.

Always attempting to innovate, Panasonic will record the Opening Ceremony of the 22nd Olympic Winter Games held in Sochi, Russia, from the Olympic Park, in stunning 4K resolution – with the cooperation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Olympic Broadcasting Services.

What’s more, continuing a 25-year partnership* with the Olympic Games, Panasonic will once again supply a large amount of equipment to the competition venues and the Olympic related facilities in a variety of AV product areas, including LED large screen displays, audio systems, broadcasting equipment, projectors, VIERA TVs and HD visual communication equipment. Among these, Panasonic’s supply of security cameras to the Sochi Olympic Winter Games is the largest in the history of the Olympic Games, and the supply of LED large screen displays is the largest ever by area in the Olympic Winter Games.
