Earlier, the first batch of a total of 1,026 pieces of CMG broadcasting equipment for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics left Ningbo City, east China's Zhejiang Province in early November and is scheduled to reach Genoa, Italy, by the end of December.
CMG will, for the first time in history, produce 4K ultra high-definition international signal of figure skating and short track speed skating events at the 2026 Winter Games.
