BEIJING, Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Livestreaming ultra-high-definition (UHD) videos from a bullet train moving at

350 kilometers per hour must surely be an extremely tall order, but the China

Media Group (CMG) has never been one to shy away from a daunting challenge.

CMG unveiled the new state-of-the-art livestreaming studio on the high-speed

railway line connecting Chinese capital Beijing with Olympic co-host city

Zhangjiakou on Thursday, showcasing the country's primacy in multiple fields of

cutting-edge technology.

The opening of the studio, which features the novel application of 5G+4K/8K+AI

technology in UHD TV live broadcast on a high-speed railway, is a testament to

CMG's commitment to embracing technological innovation and offering premium

coverage of the 2022 Olympics to the widest possible audience.

During the unveiling ceremony on Thursday, Shen Haixiong, president of CMG said

that it's the duty and mission of CMG to tell Beijing Winter Olympic stories

well and open a new chapter in the promotion of the Olympic Movement, culture

and Chinese sportsmanship as an international mainstream media outlet, a

Chinese national media group and the host broadcaster.

Shen also spotlighted the difficulty in maintaining reliable and resilient 5G

signals in a fast-moving carriage and acknowledged the hard work done by

related agencies including China Railway, China Railway Beijing Group, China

Unicom, China Mobile as well as CMG, who pooled resources to bring the project

to fruition despite the challenging network conditions.

China's first autonomous high-speed service, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed

railway line went into operation in 2019, reducing the travel time between the

two Olympic competition zones from over three hours to 47 minutes. The smart

trains are equipped with special areas to store ski gear and doping samples

collected and provide wireless charging and intelligent light adjustment.

With less than a month to go before the 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing is abuzz

with anticipation. China hopes hosting the Games will help the country cement

its position as a new winter sports destination and bring 300 million people

into the fold of winter sports.

For such high stakes, the CMG chief brims with a confident smile. "CMG has

always taken it as its mission to promote, report and broadcast the Beijing

Winter Olympics," said Shen. "This is our duty and responsibility," he added.
