NHK, which started its INVESTIGATIONS in HD in 1964, now begins public testing of its Ultra HD standard. This technology includes resolution of 7680 x 4320, which is up to 16X clearer than HDTV. The Prototypes of superfast cameras can capture data to a speed of 4000 frames per second, and the audio component is 22.2 (compared to today's 5.1 surround sound).
Cameras, recorders, Ultra HD encoders and projectors are already being developed, although the year 2009 will mark the introduction full of the Ultra HD specification. NHK estimates that the satellite transmission trials will begin in 2011, and that in 2020 Ultra HD will be ready for broadcast to homes.
Ultra HD broadcasting consumes a tremendous bandwidth 18 minutes of recording no compressed consume 3.5 terabytes of data, and one minute of Uncompressed recording consumes 194 gigabytes. The use of Ateme's MPEG-4 AVC compression technology drastically reduces bandwidth requirements, while maintaining the better quality.
