Fox on Thursday night will also stream the Patriots-Falcons game in 4K HDR. The Thursday Night Football broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. ET.
Note: Fox’s 4K broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p HDR. Upscaling is the process when one video format is converted to another. Fox takes the 1080p HDR signal and converts it to a 4K format. Upscaling 4K is not considered as good as native 4K, but the inclusion of HDR can offer heightened colors and vividness.
