Local production company iTV is making 4K
programming (for the TERN-backed Insight
Channel) as is TravelXP. Travel XP already has an
HD channel on air, and is expected to launch a
full-time UHD service over India and the Middle
East by April 2016.
Mumbai-based Prashant Chothani, CEO at TravelXP
says they are wholly committed to UHD with some
50 hours in production now.
BT Media & Broadcast Enterprises’s VP Mark
Wilson-Dunn, responsible for bringing the ICC
cricket World Cup signals from Australia to India,
suggested that India “at a minimum” could have
20 channels. His fellow-panellists, however, were
less optimistic. Chothani talked about a half-dozen,
while local journalist and media-watcher Anil
Wanvari talked only of “about four or five”.
the only current 4K
broadcaster, said he was very happy to
accommodate any number of UHD channels and
they – and the industry – would find the bandwidth
to carry the channels. “The numbers could be
anything, 10, 20, 40 who really knows today. What
we have not done enough yet is in education, and
content, and we have to appeal to more consumers
who will pay.”
