Progress Report on the Development of Super-Hi Vision

Abstract

This paper reports on the recent progress of research and development on Super Hi-Vision (SHV), a UHDTV2 system (7680 × 4320 pixel video), the highest class of UHDTV. The report covers the camera/display system and 22.2 multichannel sound system, as well as the delivery system, including the codec and transport technologies. The rapid pace of technological progress has enabled us to develop a compact video and audio recording system and a prototype full 8K-resolution system. The transmission experiments using satellites and IP links and the standardization activity at ITU-R and SMPTE are also included in this report.
