It is extremely gratifying to see today our national public broadcaster lead the way in Ultra HD broadcasting in terms of quality and technical performance. We are proud to have contributed to their success, particularly with solutions fully compatible with Ultra HD HDR technologies, Dolby AC4, and ST-2110.”

On their side, Yannick Olivier, Technical Leader ST-2110 at France Télévisions, states: “Our Ultra HD broadcast project is a long-standing ambition, and we naturally turned to BBright, an internationally renowned French expert in this field.
