Lillehammer '94 in High Definition

Jean-Pierre Lartigue

Two existing European channels offering 16/9 television broadcasts, France Supervision and TV Plus (Netherlands), were involved in the first major operation to have been made possible thanks to the subsidies granted through the European Commission's “Action Plan” –and also helped by members of VISION 1250; when they broadcast pictures from the high definition coverage of the Winter Olympic Games from Lillehammer. Whereas the High Definition coverage made at Albertville and Barcelona in 1992, served experimental purposes only, the pictures from the Winter Olympics at Lillehammer were used as an integral part of the programming by the two 16/9 channels between February 12th and 27th.
