NHK Projector Features Insane 7680 x 4320 (8K) Resolution
5:55AM Sean Fallon | Japanese TV broadcaster NHK has demonstrated Super Hi-Vision, their whopping 32 megapixel, 8K (7680 x 4320) ultra-high definition projector technology using two LCoS projectors with a combined 8,000 lumens brightness and a towering 6.6m x 3.7m 300-inch projection screen. For those of you who are counting, that absolutely obliterates the 4K (3840 x 2,160) full-HD standard. They have even developed a matching 8K studio camera. Once again this begs the question: is there such a thing as too much HD? [CNET] More »

Super Hi-Vision Gets 33-Megapixel Sensor for Full-Colour Video
12:00AM Wilson Rothman | Remember NHK’s Super Hi-Vision, the 7680×4320 format that looks so good viewers throw up? The research group finally prototyped up a 33-megapixel video sensor that could take in the whole picture at once. More »

JVC Makes First Super Hi-Vision Display, 16 Times Full HD Resolution
6:22PM Gizmodo US Edition | JVC’s new Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier for projectors has a staggering 8192 x 4320 resolution—that’s 35 megapixels, or around 16 times more than full HD. In fact, JVC is saying the little single-device reflective liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) imager has the highest resolution in the world, and the first to enable projectors to produce “Super Hi-Vision” images. The technology behind it has been worked on since 2003, refining the pixel count and contrast upwards with each generation. Last year JVC made a 1.27-inch 4096 x 2400 version, which went on sale in a projector in February 2008. So does this mean we’ll see the new 1.75-inch, 20,000:1 version in projectors soon? Very likely, but we expect you’ll find it in professional projector gear, rather than for your home. [Akihabaranews] More »
