The Museum of Tomorrow tuned into the future and made the first live broadcast in Brazil using innovative 8K image technology, considered the next frontier of the audiovisual industry. With ultra-high-definition (UHD) images, 16 times higher resolution than HD, the 8K standard is considered the most advanced in image quality perceptible to the human eye.
An unprecedented partnership between TV Globo and the Japanese broadcaster NHK brought the atmosphere of the courts into the museum's auditorium, where the audience could feel like they were on the field, vibrating even more with the ultra-high-resolution images.
The broadcasts, carried out throughout the Olympic period, allowed the public to experience the most modern image technology on a 300-inch screen and 22.2 audio channels, equivalent to 22 speakers surrounding the auditorium and two subwoofers reinforcing the bass tones.
It was as if the audience were inside the court. During the Olympic period, approximately five thousand visitors experienced the new technology. To help visitors understand the meaning of the new technology, an exhibition was set up showing living rooms from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, with furniture, televisions and the programs that were broadcast at the time. A trip to the past for older visitors and a stage for countless discoveries for younger ones.
