With the launch of enhanced 4K, Xfinity will offer the best seat
in the house for The Olympic Games and be the only place fans can
enjoy this market-leading viewing experience featuring crystal
clear pictures, vivid colors, and immersive audio - as close to
live as they can get.
“The Olympics is the best example of how Comcast can bring
together its fantastic sports content, entertainment platforms, and
innovative technology and connectivity offerings to deliver
one-of-a-kind experiences to customers,” said Vito Forlenza, Vice
President, Sports Entertainment, Comcast. “By premiering enhanced
4K during Paris 2024, fans of the Olympics will be among the first
to experience this new innovation and enjoy all the live action in
stunning picture and audio quality, with significantly less delay

Today’s launch follows a successful trial of the technology
conducted during the 2024 Super Bowl. Moving forward, enhanced 4K
will be the new quality standard for live sports delivered in 4K on
X1.
