London 2012 Olympics in Super Hi-Vision

In 2012, we screened Olympics footage in Super Hi-Vision for free. www.scienceand...
This amazing technology is the next generation of television, providing a picture quality of 16 times higher definition than a standard HDTV and a fully immersed sound system. With its clear picture quality giving it a 3D illusion and wide angle shot, Super Hi-Vision gives you the viewer a realistic experience that makes you feel like you're actually at the event.
Since the dawn of modern communications, the Olympic Games has been brought live to billions worldwide, showcasing the latest in broadcast innovation at each new Games.
The 1948 London Games marked the first major TV outside broadcast in Olympic history. In 1964, colour TV came to the Tokyo Olympics, with live satellite transmission across the Pacific. Twenty years later, the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles was the first to be captured in experimental High Definition. At London 2012, for the first time, an Olympic Games was captured and shown in stunning Super Hi-Vision.
We teamed up with the BBC to give you a rare opportunity to experience this amazing technology! We were one of only three places in the UK where you could see the 2012 Olympics in stunning Super Hi-Vision for the first time as our Cubby Broccoli Cinema was transformed into a Super Hi-Vision viewing auditorium.
For all those not able to get a ticket for the Olympic venues, this was the closest thing to being there. Special screenings included highlights of the Games as well as showing the transformation of London as it becomes an Olympic city.

I wish I was situated in the U.K. because this would be a wonderful thing to experience. However, I think that 22.2 channels of sound is overkill. Probably half that many channels could yield a virtually identical experience for the audience.

In comparison with a shitload of DSP processing power, yes. But I don't want to be the one scratching my head for months to get a proper virtual room setup to implement in a DSP

They said the same about LD and DVD in the 90s. LOL
