Amazon to Shoot New TV Series In 4K Ultra HD Next Year
[Phil Lelyveld comment; because they distribute over IP, they don't have to wait for standards or infrastructure buildout to begin 4K distribution. Like Netflix before them, this could be a serious competitive and strategic alliance advantage.]
“As a premium original content creator, we’re excited about 4K and the future of Ultra HD technology, particularly as we move into drama series next year,” said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. “All of the pilots and series we produce next year will be shot in 4K. That includes our first ever drama series that we will greenlight next year—we think customers are going to love watching these series in the highest resolution ever available to consumers and we can’t wait to deliver it.”
