Hope we see some 4K Ligue 1 in the mix soon too.

You will, just as there were some last season.

More brief native 4K Premier League footage from non BT games used in the build up to tonight's Supercup. A welcome addition.

in 4K looked alittle dark on my TV, effect of being produced in HDR?, SKY's 4K match looked fine
Yep, an HDR production with some downmapping near the end of the chain. Tonight's Super Cup is the same.

Meanwhile, anyone up for some UHD Bundesliga?

There was a HDR and an SDR feed for the Supercap with a broadcast receiver.

I believe the UHD SDR (and HD SDR) feeds were all derived from the same UHD HDR OB.

I guess the question is whether it was produced in a single HDR variant and the SDR version tone mapped from it, or whether the SDR version was a simulcut (where the SDR output from the CCUs/BPUs are cut in sync with the HDR outputs - avoiding a tone map process).

However I think (though I may be wrong) that Sony BPUs only do one UHD output (so you can have UHD HDR and HD SDR simultaneous outputs, but not UHD HDR and UHD SDR?)

The HDR 4K feed is downmapped for 4K SDR TX at playout. The opposite process is done for SDR 4K feeds for the HDR TX (as well as upconverted SDR HD material such as commercials and so on).

Hearing Premier and Freesports(*) might be arriving on the BTTV platform before the year ends.

(* IPTV version for all to add to limited Freeview coverage)

Just spotted this interstitial on BT Sport 3 🤔

Very interesting, given that - apparently - Premier Sports have Serie A until 2021 🤔

I suspect it's a UEFA CL / UEFA EL promo interstitial nothing more at present.

Considering that word is synonymous with Serie A coverage and given the person who posts it has insider information and wouldn’t have posted if they knew something wasn’t happening, I read more into it than you.

Well, Premier Sports, yesterday morning here in the UK, did have a preview show for Serie A at 11:00. I wonder if there could be a bit more of a tie up, e.g. shared rights, with both BT and Premier showing Serie A?
