Ultra High Definition Video
hovermike writes "This story about UHDV (Ultra High Definition Video) comes from the NY Times. Here are a few specs from the article: 'picture size of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels'; 'UHDV's beefed-up refresh rate of 60 frames per second (twice that of conventional video), projected onto a 450-inch diagonal screen with more than 20 channels of audio'; '22.2 sound: 10 speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low frequency effects'; AND THE KICKER, 'All those sound channels and all those image pixels add up to a lot of data. In test, an 18-minute UHDV video gobbled up 3.5 terabytes of storage (equivalent to about 750 DVD's). The data was transmitted over 16 channels at a total rate of 24 gigabits per second.' Don't think I'll wait to buy regular 'old' HDTV..."
So *that's* what powers the view screen on the Enterprise. Cool! :)
The post-production touch-up jobs on porn acresses is going to have to get a *lot* better at that kind of resolution!

I have to change my underwear now.. and have a smoke...
I have been a user for about 10 years. This ends Feb 2014. The site's been ruined. I'm off. Dice, FU
So its half the resolution of a Japanese Television ;)
I spent ages trying to think of sig, but never did
On the other hand, perhaps this may be better as an educational tool:
"And here you can see the distribution of Influenza cases superimposed across this landsat image lower manhattan... and my apartment. Hey! There's me! And I have the flu."
... when the cinemas have this system and the pirates film them with their hidden camcorders.
Now George Lucas can let us all see, in the most perfect, clear, awe-inspiring beautiful picture imaginable, Greedo shoot first.
Damnit!
...my kids put in the Ultra Hi Def Barney Video.
Serenity NOW!

"16 terabytes ought to be enough for everyone."
We know that 30/60 Hz from a normal TV causes brain waves that act like a drug. Wouldn't a faster frame rate cause better brain waves; like the ones that actually make us think.
57 channels and nothing on. Bah humbug!
well, that's one way to keep people from sharing the files...
Anybody got a bittorrent link to the 3.5 terabyte file?
What, only 2 dimensions?

Sadly, most nerds around here cannot figure out how to work this video style's porn.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
What kind of porn are you watching, anyway, where they bother with post-production touch-up -- or plot, for that matter?
Huh? What's that you said?
R e a d? B o o k?
Oh, well then I'll just get the audible.com file and put it on my iPod. Plus, I got these cool earphones that look like seashells--AWESOME!
Hey, just because your inferior eyes can't see the difference, doesn't mean you can make fun of me.
Yes, remember kids: your loyalty to your home country only goes as far as the kind of TV they have. Don't be afraid to forsake your citizenship to get a better programming package!
Numbskull.
