Super Bowl in 4K - Not Exactly
The Fox Network will be broadcasting the Super Bowl, and other playoff games, in an upscaled version of 4K. Upscaling means that they will take the native 1080p signal and use a video processor to add, or interpolate, additional pixels to the broadcast signal. So, instead of 1920x1080 pixels, you will get 3840x2160 pixels, 4 times as many. This is supposed to produce a better picture than 1080p, but don't count on it. Networks don't want to spend the extra money to produce native 4K content.
So, make sure your TV is set to the 4K resolution to see if you can tell the difference.
