Super Hi-Vision (SHV)

Although 4K was the resolution du jour at IBC in Amsterdam again this year, as it has been for the past couple of years, Japan’s national public broadcaster, NHK, was going one better with a demonstration of 8K, or Super Hi-Vision (SHV), that is set for satellite broadcast in 2020.

Japan's national public broadcaster NHK has revealed that it successfully broadcast a compressed Super Hi-Vision (SHV) signal carrying video at a resolution of 7680 x 4320, 16 times the resolution of regular HD.

JVC zoomed the future a lot closer this week in announcing the world’s first 4K2K (3,840 x 2,160) 60p video camera and the world’s first full-coverage, high-resolution Super Hi-Vision (7,680 x 4,320 pixels) D-ILA projector.
