MUMBAI: Harmonic, the video delivery infrastructure for emerging television and video services, has shot a documentary examining the making of NASA's UHD TV channel.

NASA TV UHD is the first noncommercial consumer UHD channel in North America. Showcasing the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of space using high-resolution images and video generated on the International space station and other current NASA missions, the channel also airs re-mastered footage from historical missions.

The Harmonic documentary discusses the technical challenges NASA and Harmonic overcame within a matter of months to put NASA TV UHD up on one satellite link along with NASA's existing SD and HD channels.

Harmonic CMO Peter Alexander said, "Our signal is up on the bird, and so that's exciting - to be blazing a new trail and leveraging the very latest state-of-the-art technology in television and video."

The video is also available on the Harmonic channel: www.harmonicinc.com/resources/videos/nasa-uhd
