For the Opening Ceremony in HDR, the recorded signal is then converted to PQ (ST 2084) for transmission. Grading planned at 1000 nits peak brightness.

Something else readers should be aware of with regards to how far the production technology has developed is that other event testing has shown it possible to do simultaneous 4K HDR and HD SDR live productions by a single video group (one truck of engineers, rather than a distinct HDR truck and a distinct SDR truck). In time, this simultaneous live dual production technique should become adopted for future sporting events and other broadcast delivery.
P.S.
Not sure if any readers here watched it on TV (other than
Tob and myself), but last week with the soccer match between Arsenal and the MLS All-Stars in San Jose, Ca., at least a quarter of the near side of the pitch was obscured by dark shadows from the stadium stands for about the 1st half of the contest and the imagery just screamed for HDR production as so much detail was lost when the players ventured into that part of thee abyss like field.
