| It's been a bit slow on the list, so I thought I'd share an article from the BBC site: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19370582 I don't know that it's particularly relevant, considering there are only 3 cameras in the world that shoot in the format, but I was interested to see that you can already buy a TV which supports digital cinema resolution ( 3840 x 2160 ) for $22,000 - not sure what you'd watch on it though: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/22/lg-4k-84-inch-uhdtv/ Most of the work I've done over the past year has been for multi-projector playback, so the large resolutions don't scare me - I'm just a bit surprised at how quickly the forecast is for this stuff to become mainstream. I don't really see a demand for 8K material by the year 2020, which is what they suggest. I think the enthusiasm for 8K television will come from manufacturers and no-one else... -Chris |
