Just read somewhere that JVC is coming with a new 4K camera.
CMOS size 19mm, 3840x2160 pixels, Nikon or PL mount, frame rate 60P 4:2:2 10 bit, sensitivity F5.6@2,000lux
Anyone can contribute some more info and links?

JVC TO DEMONSTRATE ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGING AT NAB
JVC demonstrates KY-F4000 4K, 60p Live Camera.

Las Vegas, NV (April 20, 2009) — At NAB 2009, JVC provides an exciting glimpse into the world of ultra high resolution imaging with a live demonstration of its KY-F4000 real-time 4K camera. Live 60p images from the KY-F4000 are displayed on JVC’s new 56-inch LCD panel with 4K resolution. This compact camera features a single 1.25-inch CMOS image sensor of 3840 x 2160 pixels, capable of producing live images with 4 times the resolution of full HD.

The KY-F4000 features ultra high resolution imaging, with a 60 progressive frame live output capability, including HDSDI Dual Link (4:2:2/10 bit 4 ch) and DVI Single Link (4:4:4/8 bit x 4ch). The camera also features a built-in genlock input, HDSDI 1080 (60i/59.94i). Additional specifications include an RGB Bayer color filter, switchable 60p/59.94 frame rate, and for the demonstration, a Nikon F-mount is used.

The two-piece design of the KY-F4000 includes a compact, lightweight camera head at 6.6 lbs, which is ideal for pan and tilt mounting applications. The CCU processor can be separated from the camera head at a distance of 328 feet.


Other 4K cameras on the market, such as RED and Arri, are primarily used for cinema applications which do not require live signal output. This makes JVC the unique choice for high-end applications including:

* Teleconference - Corporate/military conference systems can fully utilize 4K display systems (already installed) with cameras that can bring a new level of realism to remote conferencing.
* CAD/Design
* Distance Learning - 4K imaging can provide the ultimate real-time experience in a learning situations especially those involving live demonstrations and procedures.

“By including real time output for display or transmission, the engineers at JVC are really thinking ahead,” says Edgar Shane, senior product engineering manager of JVC U.S.A.. “Where other 4K cameras on the market have been designed for cinema and are processing at 24p to 30p, we are offering full 60p output, with live transmission capability, because we believe that’s the future of ultra high resolution.”

With the demonstration of the KY-F4000, JVC is positioned to be a major player in the 4K arena. JVC is currently shipping a 4K D-ILA projector, the DLA-SH4K. The addition of a 4K camera and 4K LCD monitor brings full capture capability and further display options to the product line. The KY-F4000 will be available in April 2010, priced under $200,000.

...And the one before that, as well as the one before that.

JVC has been showing various forms of a 4K camera since 2007 and talking about them since '05 or '06. It doesn't ever seem to get any closer to reality though. NHK Tokyo has 4K and 8K camera system prototypes for their ultra-high-def or Super HiVision broadcast project. It's pretty cool as far as resolution goes, but so far the demos have been really lacking in terms of image quality, color, etc.. But damn that's a lot of pixels on a viewing screen.

Like the NHK system, JVC's system is more aimed at the broadcast market than at cinema. These technologies are a glimpse of what's to come. 4K displays will begin to creep onto the market. I don't think 30" quad-HD displays are that far off of being common for desktop computers. HDMI 1.4 supports quad-HD and 4K 2:1 modes over a single cable connection.
 
Thanks Matt.
Living in a deserted area on the globe, it is hard for me to keep updated with all the new innovations.
lol gdv you and your jokes.. btw have you already found the key for that mystery around? ehehehehe
 
As far as I have read, it's as Jeff said and focused much more at the broadcast market.

Doesn't it hook to a bank of computers and post-processors through a bundle of fiber-optics cables? I remember reading that the size of the camera you isn't telling the full story as all of the equipment that is needed to handle the data-output is about the size of a refrigerator.
 
It had a serious fibre link to a rackmount box to turn the signal into something displayable.
