to the 2008 Olympics games in Beijing? Be prepared for a treat if you have the best in HDTV, for:

“This is the most important sports broadcasting event ever,” says Ken Kirschbaumer, director of information and editorial services for the Sports Video Group, the industry trade org that’s making the Olympics the centerpiece of NAB’s Sports Technology Forum on Wednesday. The all-day event will cover everything from creating an all-HD international broadcast center at the Games to mobile production of Olympics coverage…..

Starting Aug. 8, when the Olympic flame is lit, the Beijing Olympic Broadcasting Co., which is handling production operations for a platoon of international broadcasters, will not have a single standard-def camera position; instead employing more than 1,000 HD cameras and 60 HD mobile units while wiring all the Olympics venues with fiber-optic cables suitable for high-def transmission.

This commitment will allow the global group of broadcasters who enjoy Olympics rights — which includes not only NBC, but Britain’s BBC and Japan’s NHK, just to name a few — to vastly expand their HD offerings ….MORE….

Sounds promising indeed.
