The China Media Group's (CMG) 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) broadcast vans returned to a port in north China's Tianjin Municipality on Sunday morning after successfully completing their mission at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The vans, which have now been unloaded, will make their way overland back to Beijing.
Developed and designed by CMG's national key laboratory for ultra-high definition video and audio, the broadcast vans are recognized as the most powerful and versatile mobile broadcasting systems in the world.
The vehicles set off from Beijing in May and were stationed at the Stade de France for about a month, during which they produced over 60 hours of 8K international public signals for various athletics events, as well as for the Olympic closing ceremony. This marked the vans' inaugural cross-continental assignment for a summer Olympic broadcast.
After concluding their work in Paris, the vans boarded a ship in Rotterdam on Sept. 1, embarking on a lengthy 15,530-nautical-mile journey back to China, where they were unloaded upon arrival at Tianjin Port.
