Yes indeed! That is a very good illustration of what 4K and 8K means.

 

[Anthony Luca]

Agreed --

However, will Samsung & LG vernacular of "Ultra Definition" (i.e. UD) prevail?

 

[Felix K.]

They say that UHDTV won't be broadcast before 2020...

 

[Marc Wielage]

There's nothing to stop a theater from showing a closed-circuit exhibition of 8K. 8K doesn't have to be broadcast, as long as there's a way to shoot it, edit it, color-correct it, and deliver it.

I'm curious how Hitachi is dealing with the tremendous data rates required by 7680×4320 material:

The DOPs that had 4k DCP in Cannes decided to show it in 2k because 4k was too sharp...

We stills have to get used to UHD...

8k will be great for live events, sports, concerts, racing. It could be great for outdoors displays and giant screens, as well as stadiums. However, for filmmaking the impact might be less noticeable, unless for IMAX screens, in my humble opinion. The next revolution should be in dinamic range (hdrx is the first giant step), low light performance and best, efficient raw compression.

We have to get used to creating for DCP's.

There is nothing saying you can't have DR and resolution. 8K will be useful to those who have something more to say than just "look how sharp it is".
We went through this with film; stills mostly. Many fine art guys adopted 8X10 formats because their work looked too unremarkable using more common and accessible formats. Some, even more desperate, adopted archaic printing methods to further try and camouflage their shortcomings. But when the clever guys get their mitts on the best of tech: look out. On DR: what is enough? Again, to pull a stills analogy, the highest DR's can quickly begin to take on a rather pallid, bland look. The nature of the DR is as important: Decent inky blacks that you could sink up to your elbows in while maintaining good strong shadow detail throughout, and whites that separate the subtlest of highlight modulations....

Then you would be definitely scared of 99% of inventors and smartest brains on the planet.
... And you will be still sitting in a cave eating raw meat with your sexy dirty smelly wife :biggrin5:

You are right he is bit scary :emote_22_yikes:
