European HDTV Operations (1250/50 Production/HDMAC Broadcast) in the Winter and Summer Olympic Games

Michel Oudin

In 1992, for the last time, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held during the same year. Also in 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games both took place in European cities: Albertville, France, and Barcelona, Spain. The year 1992 was a key one for Europe — the year of European unity. It was also in Europe, in Seville, Spain, that the world exhibition, EXPO 92, was held that same year. The year also enabled Europe to organize, both for the Winter Games and for the Summer Games, the largest-scale broadcast of high-definition television (HDTV) ever undertaken during such events.
