TV Imaging Makes Major Leap with 8K Super Hi-Vision Technology

摘要

Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) will commence regular 4K/8K Super Hi-Vision broadcasts in Dec. 2018. In 1995. NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories (NHK STRL) started research on ultrahigh-definition images. and spent more than 20 years for the development of new broadcast services. At present, NHK STRL continues to conduct research on Super Hi-Vision toward its proliferation and further development. In order to deliver viewing experience using ultimate two-dimensional (2D) video and three-dimensional (3D) acoustic expression, NHK STRL has been working to further improve thin and lightweight large-screen 8K sheet-type display, full-featured 8K equipment that maximizes 8K performance, and 8K program production equipment. At the same time, NHK STRL also endeavors to standardize technologies used in Super Hi-Vision. This article introduces 8K Super Hi-Vision technologies being researched and developed at NHK STRL.
