URALAA Brings 8K Immersive Live to Standard Fiber Lines
Immersive live venues have been held back by the cost and lead time of dedicated lines and relay trucks, and URALAA now claims a delivery method that works on the fiber connections venues already have.

URALAA Inc., based in Urahoro, Hokkaido, says it has established technology for transmitting 8K immersive live video and spatial 3D audio over ordinary fiber-optic lines, with no dedicated high-capacity circuits or relay trucks. The company ran a transmission test with live content in August 2026 and confirmed the system works at a commercial service level. A press conference and hands-on event is set for Sunday, October 25, where attendees can try the system.
URALAA says its 8K immersive live delivery runs on the fiber-optic lines that are already installed, rather than dedicated high-capacity circuits or large relay vehicles. The company tested the method with real live content in August 2026 and judged it ready to offer as a commercial service.
The setup matters for both ends of the chain. Stadiums and arenas sending the footage, and immersive theaters receiving it, would not need to lay dedicated lines or buy special delivery equipment. CEO Yuji Tsujiki's company will explain the technology and let visitors try it at a press conference and hands-on event on Sunday, October 25.
