1080P is history, the industry wants 4096x2160

​
1080P resolution is already history. The professional industry wants to move as soon as possible to 4K. This brings us to a 4096x2160 resolution.

It can be as much as 50MB for each frame and you need a beast to decode such a video. Even to edit it, it takes a lot of power. Nvidia is preaching 1440 resolution but the professional industry wants to go even further.

4K is movie quality and roughly twice that of the 1080P but we have a nice shot to show you the difference. The video shot we pictured is 2048 only but it still looks incredible.

The biggest shot is 4K followed by 2K, 1080 P. 720P, and the tiny one is DV. We saw this at red.com's booth and we will tell you elsewhere about the 4096 camera that these guys are making.

4kx2k is insane :P. I saw a 90 minute movie (electronic theater at siggraph) on a sony projector of those dimensions... needless to say the quality was absolutely mind blowing. As of now the projector is still a prototype and will cost more than 50000$ at launch :P.
 
More then $50K is too much honestly.. get the figures right.:P I would say $5K-$10K range... as otherwise it will not make sense for them to manufacture it, since no1 is going to buy.
 
WTH ....... i don't think 1080 is history its still future :P

wat kind of display will be needed for those insane resolutions ...... and a 4 or 8 core CPU to process ....... 1080 videos on my frens 1.8Ghz athlon hangs ... lol

chaos is correct. I saw one at display at CES too and 50000$ is probably even less than what it'll actually sell for. Check this one out. How much does it cost? "Only 98,550 dollars, sir!" It weighs 85 kilos and consumes 4.5 kilowatts of power!

You mean $50k is too much honestly for us, for personal use that is. But this certainly isn't the case in the professional market consisting of mini-theatres and the like.
 
Why in the world do we we need such a high resolution video stream.

We wanna watch movies not play detectives spotting the finest details in the video.

1080 wud be sufficient enuf acc to me.

Its damn clear , downloaded some HD videos.

I know that higher is better , but think logically do we really need such high quality.
 
Ohhh damn OK its for commercial use... I was thinking dat its a CE Product for Pro like Darky and Chaos and those who can afford such high price :P

:) Reminds me of something that old Billy reportedly said about storage a long while ago.
 
^^ROFL... quad this is meant for projecting onto 20ftx10ft screens not on a 2ft lcd or something. As of now I'm not sure if video cameras with that resolutions exist... what they showed at siggraph were all synthetic computer generated :P. Else they won't be in siggraph ;).

Again, not on-the-shelf video cameras for personal use. But HD-cam quality is insane! And I don't mean home HD at 1080p. For instance, Star Wars Episode 3 was shot entirely on an HD-cam.

Check this wiki over here and scroll right down to the last bit about HDcam.

Here's another link about Sony's commercial products. Crazy stuff indeed.

:ashamed: Lol ok i thought it was for desktop PC's.
 
^^Well, using simple logic, Blu-ray and HDDVD become history as well.

Now if you had only read the entire thread before asking this useless question (or even dip's post for that matter where it clearly says professional industry), you would have known that we aren't talking about the consumer entertainment division. Rather, 1080p is history for commercial use, like in theatres, with the new 4k x 2k standard coming in.
 
well the 4K process is not new, its been existing for a long time now, though ppl always go for 2k, almost all of the ads shot on 35mm after TC go through he 2k process. Pixion (post prod studio in mumbai) has the 4k Spirit and so does adlabs and Prime Focus.

Well......I had read the entire thing , however just wanted to question the guys who actually believed the title, how could sony and toshiba let this happen, and not have any foresight about this, with all the efforts they have put in to promote blueray and hddvd standards.

u still dont get it.. 4k has been around for a long time, except now its going main stream, professionally.
 
This is like that media being in development, called HVD (Holograhpic Versatile) with over 3TB's of storage. o_0.

People, specially the professional industry will always thrive for more no matter what. But as far as I can tell, 1080P is going to be the future for a lot of time to come. The new 4k Reso developments are a farcry for home use for perhaps years to come, imo. Seeing as how slow the technology seems to develop with the general public than the professional market wants it to be. (Heck, people are not even ready to shift from DVD and move onto Blu-Ray yet :P)
 
^^ It weighs 342 pounds! haha that's just about the same as my enfield!

SC-1 is overkill (albeit the ultra sweet, drool-worthy kind) at its finest, it's likely to show you HD content in a way you've never envisioned -- but you'll need a quarter million bucks (and a small group of folks to unload it) to take this one home.

Seems like Engadget has got it wrong too. Take it home for 250,000 dollars? Yeah right. Give me a Porsche 911 Turbo instead.

Which reminds me, last night I was riding on Marine Drive and guess which car decides to ride alongside with me for the next half hour or so? A 911 Carrera! Right next to me in traffic for the next thirty minutes!
