Livestreaming ultra-high-definition (UHD) videos from a bullet train moving at 
350 kilometers per hour must surely be an extremely tall order, but the China 
Media Group (CMG) has never been one to shy away from a daunting challenge.

CMG unveiled the new state-of-the-art livestreaming studio on the high-speed 
railway line connecting Chinese capital Beijing with Olympic co-host city 
Zhangjiakou on Thursday, showcasing the country's primacy in multiple fields of 
cutting-edge technology.

The opening of the studio, which features the novel application of 5G+4K/8K+AI 
technology in UHD TV live broadcast on a high-speed railway, is a testament to 
CMG's commitment to embracing technological innovation and offering premium 
coverage of the 2022 Olympics to the widest possible audience.

During the unveiling ceremony on Thursday, Shen Haixiong, president of CMG said 
that it's the duty and mission of CMG to tell Beijing Winter Olympic stories 
well and open a new chapter in the promotion of the Olympic Movement, culture 
and Chinese sportsmanship as an international mainstream media outlet, a 
Chinese national media group and the host broadcaster.

Shen also spotlighted the difficulty in maintaining reliable and resilient 5G 
signals in a fast-moving carriage and acknowledged the hard work done by 
related agencies including China Railway, China Railway Beijing Group, China 
Unicom, China Mobile as well as CMG, who pooled resources to bring the project 
to fruition despite the challenging network conditions.

China's first autonomous high-speed service, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed 
railway line went into operation in 2019, reducing the travel time between the 
two Olympic competition zones from over three hours to 47 minutes. The smart 
trains are equipped with special areas to store ski gear and doping samples 
collected and provide wireless charging and intelligent light adjustment.

With less than a month to go before the 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing is abuzz 
with anticipation. China hopes hosting the Games will help the country cement 
its position as a new winter sports destination and bring 300 million people 
into the fold of winter sports.

For such high stakes, the CMG chief brims with a confident smile. "CMG has 
always taken it as its mission to promote, report and broadcast the Beijing 
Winter Olympics," said Shen. "This is our duty and responsibility," he added.
