Broadcasters Transmit Paris Olympics HDR Coverage in 56 U.S. NextGen TV Markets, Says Pearl TV

IOC.

PARIS—Television viewers in 56 U.S. markets have access to coverage of the Paris Olympics in High Dynamic Range (HDR) thanks to broadcasters and NextGen TV, Pearl TV, a business organization of eight of the largest U.S. television groups, said today.

In total, about 73 million U.S. households live in markets where NextGen TV signals are now transmitted with HDR video. 

Some 12,000 NextGen TV sets and ATSC 3.0 accessory devices, such as 3.0 set-top boxes for legacy DTVs, are being sold to Americans daily, it said.
