33Mpix "Super Hi-Vision" makes HDTV seem downright low resolution
More innovation from Japan
The Japanese government will be starting a joint project with some Japanese companies to develop a successor to HDTV.
The plan is to make "Super Hi-Vision" be available in 2015 - and it will also be promoted as a new international standard. The new standard brings a breathtaking 33 million pixels - more than sixteen times the resolution of 1080p.
Obviously these displays would also work extremely well as computer displays - once graphics cards are built that can drive them... quad dual-link DVI's anyone?
Let's see...
33Mpix * 3 bytes per pixel = 100MB/frame
60hz * 100MB/frame = 6,000MB/sec
GULP.
That's 6GB/sec for uncompressed video at 60HZ!
Hmm... we need fatter pipes. Even with MPEG4 we'd likely need 50-100Mbps for excellent quality.

Yeah, that would be some mega bandwidth >_>
I hope those new modems using that new mathematical algorithm thing, come out by then...that would allow for 100x download speed...would be needed to get this SHD stuff >_>
The cameras...oh man, the cameras that can do this stuff would cost like over a million dollars a camera, I bet >_> As it stands, don't professional movie cameras cost $2000K or so?
33mp is pretty crazy given that the highest theater projector is about 4k x 2k. @_@ it's nice at least that they're reaching for the stars.
8k x 4k using 2:1 for 32mpx @_@ man thats just outright nuts.
At least it would be closer to what film actually produces though, given that original stock is supposed to be set at 6k lines before it goes into mastering.
And this will cost too much to produce by 2015.
