Matsushita Electric Industrial recently announced that their brand, Panasonic, will provide a wide variety of support for broadcast coverage, with its newest high-definition (HD) broadcasting products, of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, taking place August 8 - 24 in Beijing, China. The Olympic Games of the XXIX Olympiad mark the first time in the history of Olympic television broadcasting that the entire production will be done in high definition. Beijing Olympic Broadcasting Co. Ltd. (BOB) has chosen Panasonic HD equipment for the event because of it's wide range of HD products, including P2 (solid-state recording) HD equipment such as the new AJ-HPC2000 P2 HD camcorder, the new AJ-HPM100 P2 mobile recorder, the new P2 Station AJ-HPS1500 P2 recorder. According to BOB, they are planning to produce all the international television signals in HD and it plans to be 100 percent HD-ready. "This will be the world's largest sporting event and the most technologically advanced in the history of the Olympic Games. BOB surveyed the market very carefully to ensure that we will be using the most sophisticated and reliable technology currently available," said Manolo Romero, the CEO of BOB. "BOB has been very happy with the performance of Panasonic digital products since we first used them in the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, and now the recently expanded HD portfolio - the broad range of advanced HD products - is quite impressive."
