The NTV-PLUS company began broadcasting in the Ultra HD standard in the European part of Russia. Ultra-high-definition television from NTV-PLUS is now available throughout the country, thus making the company the first federal UHD satellite operator. NTV-PLUS subscribers can watch channels in ultra-high resolution FASHION ONE (4K) and HOME 4K already in the Basic package, at no additional charge.
Earlier in April 2017, NTV-PLUS services, including ultra-high-definition television, became available to residents of the Far East, including Kamchatka, Chukotka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, which made the company the largest satellite operator in the world in terms of reliable signal reception. At the same time, broadcasting in the Ultra HD format began in Siberia, the content and thematic offer for subscribers living in this territory was significantly expanded.
This became possible thanks to the consistent actions of the company's management to optimize the use of the existing satellite capacities and put into operation new ones. In September 2016, a large-scale program was completed for the complete transfer of broadcasting to the modern and technologically advanced MPEG-4 format, and in January 2017, based on the results of the competition, the company received the right to broadcast in the Far East using eight transponders of the Express-AT2 satellite with standing point 140 degrees east longitude. The operator also received the right to use three more transponders of the Express-AT1 satellite with a station point of 56 degrees east longitude, which made it possible to increase the number of channels and the quality of the television “picture” for viewers of the Siberian Federal District. Long-term contracts were signed with the leading satellite communications operator in Europe - Eutelsat.
“We were the first to decide to start broadcasting TV channels in ultra-high definition format with the same and transparent tariffication system throughout our country, from Kaliningrad to the Kuril Islands. Ensuring the ability to watch TV of the same high quality for subscribers in all regions of the Russian Federation remains a strategic priority of NTV-PLUS. For us, this is not only a business task, but also an important social mission, ”emphasized Mikhail Demin, Director General of NTV-PLUS.
The growing popularity of TVs and monitors capable of displaying ultra-high definition video is driving the production of UHD content. The TV park is undergoing another renewal cycle, which is reflected in the demand for UHD content both in Russia and in the world. In 2016, 7.4 million UHD TVs were sold in Russia, which is 13% more than in 2015, and their share increased from 6.1% to 9%. At the same time, sales of UHD TVs are growing faster than TV panels capable of displaying pictures in Full HD. Between 2015 and 2020, the number of households with 4K TVs worldwide will grow from 28 million to 335 million *.
Today NTV-PLUS offers viewers two UHD-channels: FASHION ONE (4K) and HOME 4K. FASHION ONE (4K) is the first channel about fashion and the world of entertainment, which is broadcast over a large territory of the planet. The creators of the channel have been actively developing the production of an Ultra HD TV product for more than two years and have an extensive library of UHD content. The motto of the HOME 4K channel is “Look at the world differently”. The channel presents a new direction for Russia "relax-TV", which is gaining more and more fans. It was created for viewers tired of information aggression and in need of psychological relief after a busy day. Taking into account the pace of development of the technical base and changes in audience preferences, NTV-PLUS intends to increase the number of UHD-channels to three in the near future.
UHD channels are available to subscribers in the Basic package for 100 rubles per month (with a one-time payment for an annual subscription). This is a unique offer for the Russian market.
