NHK Working To Make HDTV Obsolete
An anonymous reader writes "According to an article at EEtimes.com Japanese company NHK has successfully demonstrated a live relay of 'Super Hi-Vision' television, which is 16x 1080i resolution -- 7680 x 4320!" From the article: "NHK developed a Super Hi-Vision camera equipped with 8 megapixel CCD image sensors that can take 4k x 8k images. In the field test, it sent the two cameras to a sea park and sent baseband signals without image compression using an fiberoptic network formed by multiple network companies. The signal of the total 24 gigabits per second was divided into 161.5 Gbps HD-SDI signals to sent using the DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplex) method."
So did you actually hook the lights up this time, or is this another case of You being full of shit?
Your hair look like poop, Bob! - Wanker.
The company is out there, they have the tech, they're waiting for an investor.
sometimes, the world is just too dense to change. D'ya think the BluRay/HD-DVD consortia want ANOTHER player, one that makes them look like tools, to enter the market? The Holographic Discs and cards are going to moulder to death in a dark media corner if the boys at the two competing standards have anything to say about it.
"Imax at 60fps?, hardly. Normal 35mm projectors move film at 24 fps, with a 2-bladed shutter exposing each frame twice, for an image refresh rate of 48fps. I can't imagine moving Imax sized film (70mm) at 60fps"
Maybe you can't imagine it, but it's happened. They did it because the visual area was real big and they were trying to impress speed upon the audience.
Still don't believe me? 1.) Google for it, it's documented. 2.) They make 35mm cameras that can capture at 300 FPS. No, I didn't typo that. Three Hundred Frames Per Second. There isn't any particular reason why they could capture faster than they could display.
