As if strawberries and cream weren't enough to get you in the mood for Wimbledon, you can at least be safe in the knowledge that this year there's a good chance you'll be able to sit back in the comfort of your own home (or pub) and enjoy this year's tennis in full 4K.
Sony and the BBC have teamed up to trial the newest addition to the world of ultra-HD in a live broadcast environment, with Sony handling the tech side of things and the BBC handling the filming.
From what we hear Sony have been busy kitting out their OB trucks with the most up to date equipment available and, with hi-resolution monitors becoming more affordable every day, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing a lot more 4K content appearing on our screens. With this in mind it was always only a case of when for the BBC and has only recently been made possible thanks to the introduction of the new HEVC codec, which allows 4K to be compressed to a much more manageable bitrate.
For those of you who can't wait until Wimbledon to get your fix, why not check out some of the newest 4K ready kit below.
