Impressive: it was the first 4K video broadcast from a satellite

The world's first 4K video transmission platform from a satellite, powered by the British firm Sen, has become a reality on board a Russian-made satellite.

The system, which includes six video cameras and a complex computer system for exploiting and processing video data, was designed, developed and built by Sen, which aims to "democratize the space with unique video perspectives of our world in constant evolution. " and our future in space, inform, educate, inspire and benefit all humankind, "according to a statement.

The platform has successfully demonstrated its ability to simultaneously record six 4K video streams to provide information about the spacecraft. Sen's video cameras can transmit 4K video in real time from the spacecraft. Two of the cameras are robotic to capture a variety of views of the spacecraft and also to take wide-angle images of the Earth.

"We have spent years planning and developing the technology to deliver 4K video in real time from space, so the success of our first mission is a great success." This mission is our technological demonstration of the world's first 4K video from a satellite and a platform. the most powerful video in the world to be used in space, "said Charles Black, founder and CEO of Sen.

"This mission validates our core technology that will be implemented in the future, both in hosted cameras and in our own satellites, as Sen develops his video transmission business from space. for the benefit of humanity. "
