According to a (french) article here:
http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2013/01/07/eutelsat-launches-europes-first-4k-channel/
It would be quad HD at 50p using 40 Mbps with MPEG4 (surely, they mean
H.264).
An eutelsat pdf file is available here:

But no real detail on this particular brodcast. However, it also states
that they are considering five 50p UHD channels on a 36 Mhz transponder
using HEVC in the future, each of them with a bitrate close to current
HD broadcasts.
This assumes the use of a DVB-S3 "standard". I'll put links for that in
a separate post.
