The "consumer" being theatres and commercial applications first according to the spokesperson.
Checkout the zoom outs from small areas of the screen.

If I understand correctly, this is the width of the substrate flowing through the factories, it is usually cut to make 50 or 60 inch HDTVs.
It's a long way from 1080p....

It is, but I'm still not convinced the dynamic range is there in sets like this.

I need to make a T-shirt that says: "It's not about the 'K'... it's about the exposure range."

Very impressive! But what I'm really impressed by is that robot spokesmodel they have on the left. I'm pretty sure she makes an appearance in this vid below:

Where did they get the footage?

Where did they get the footage?

NHK developed an 8K camera a few years ago.

By "consumer" I mean it will be produced in volume and isn't just a trade show prototype.

Interesting that there is no mention of 3d.

Interesting that is was co-developed with Panasonic. The Reduser party showcased Panasonics 12 foot plazma screen which cost 750,000 bucks! Can't imagine what the NHk would be!

Where did they get the footage?

lol do you think Red is the leader of world of K's?

Interesting that there is no mention of 3d.

It's not 3D, says the interviewee.

 

[Bob Gundu]

It's like 3D because it's so sharp and big according to the video.

 

[Sergio Perez]

Honestly I believe in this a lot more than 3D as viewing experience...

 

[N.D. Paolo]

It's like 3D because it's so sharp and big according to the video.

This makes sense if shot with deep focus, if you sit close enough and the screen nearly fills your peripheral vision,
you selectively focus on areas of the screen, just like reality. Sounds better than the 3D pop-out to me....

I'm really hoping resolution tech outperforms 3D tech in the marketplace. I personally prefer to look at something big and crisp (to feel immersed) than wear unfamiliar glasses that produce image pop-outs.

Christopher Nolan agrees with you.
