They're using Sony kit it seems......there was a trial last year of the football at the Emirates involving a RED camera also, see the post a few down from this one.

I'm stoked about this...I've been meaning to go to to theater to watch it stream live in 3D, but I like the possibilities of this even more....I love tennis...

Odeon normally displays live shows like this and Swiss Cottage is your best bet. It's the newest IMAX theatre.....but if not, 5 mins down the road is the Vue in the O2 Centre with the Sony 4K projectors......i think it's just closed testing though.

I saw some eng configured C500+canon 30-300 shooting 4K at rolland garros, looks like the tennis world is experimenting with 4K broadcast!
