SES will test broadcast football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid on Saturday in Ultra High Definition (Ultra HD).

The transmission via SES’s ASTRA 1L satellite at 19.2 degrees East is part of the Ultra HD technical tests being conducted by SES, Movistar+ and other industry partners.

“A test live broadcast of a football match in Ultra High Definition marks another milestone in the introduction of this new technology in Spain, as well as in Europe, and shows the readiness of the Ultra HD ecosystem,” said Luis Sahun, general manager of Spain at SES.
