Ultra-High-Definition Television (Rec. ITU-R BT.2020): A Generational Leap in the Evolution of Television [Standards in a Nutshell]

Abstract

The International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) published Recommendation (Rec.) BT.2020? Parameter Values for Ultra-High-Definition Television Systems for Production and International Programme Exchange? [1] in August 2012. The parameters for television (TV) systems are roughly equivalent to the image format, including pixel count, frame frequency, and colorimetry. These basic system parameters determine what kind of visual experiences the system can provide to the viewers in terms of possible field of view (FOV) size, quality of motion portrayal, and accuracy of color reproduction.
