Guest Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ok now it's time for Ultra HD: http://www.stockfootageonline.com/industry_news.cfm/ID/1521 What happens now if I have a "regular" HD camera? Good grief another HD format, will there be any more? R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted March 4, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2008 It'll be like what happened with computer monitors. Remember when it was a big deal to go from CGA to EGA to VGA? Now there's a menu of a dozen or more different pixel grids, and everything adapts and converts, no big deal. -- J.S.

Mitch Gross Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nothing new. NHK has been showing this camera at NAB for the past couple of years. It's a monster. Lots of issues, but it is insanely sharp. I like the 22-channel surround system. Can anyone here actually tell the difference between say, 20 channel and 22 channel? The whole thing is insane overkill, but it is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is insane overkill, but it is fun. Sounds like a ploy by speaker makers. Yeah, your gonna have to go out and buy 22 bose sattelites at 300 each. sounds like I need to get into a new industry. And its 22.2 surround. thats 22 speakers and 2 subs. I wonder what camera they will get to produce for this new format (if it ever materializes). Red and Dalsa are the only ones that even come close, but neither covers the format without some up-res. Films would have to undergo a 4K scan just to fit the format. Lastly I think with all those pixels, they will still try and do some long-GOP 4:2:0 25 or 50 mb/sec stream, making it mostly useless. I would rather see less compressed HD rather than more pixels ultra-HD. But I guess compression ratios isn't really a marketing technique for the masses yet.

A. Whitehouse Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 2 subs? Bah... Try 16 http://blog.audiovideointeriors.com/208great/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Look at the bright side! If you start saving ten bucks a week now, by 2020 you will have enough to buy one of these Ultra HD cams, maybe. Just don't forget to budget for the anti-depressants you will also need as you read about these developing technologies. This is how I look on Prozac knowing I will never catch up: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas James Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I think that the future of Ultra High Definition should include better temporal resolution. Already we have 1080p televisions that run at 120 frames per second yet this 7k NHK system only shoots at 60 frames per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted March 10, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted March 10, 2008 Personally, I would kill for an electronic product I don't have to upgrade every few years. . . or one standard to come along and be "the standard." My head's starting to hurt from all these numbers. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas James Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Actually even these 32 megapixel displays will be obsolete within our lifetime. The ultimate technology will be the holographic displays that will be a sandwich of 24 flat panels with 32 megapixels each for a total number of one billion pixels that will be displayed. Since each pixel will be part of a three dimensional display these will instead be called voxels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Soon we will train squirrels to draw every frame in front of us a 1,000,000 fps. There will be a rodent for red & blue and two for green. We'll call it "NutVision." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Myers Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) That's why I LOVE film cameras. They can upgrade the film all they want and you can still use the same camera. I can take a camera 50 years old and put new film in it and shoot a movie and nobody would know. I say just stay with film and then you won't have all of these problems. What about archiving HD.....how long will it last? Check and see how much it cost to put all the footage fromt a movie in storage. I don't know if it's true or not but I'm sure that someone does but I heard that it's about 4 times as exspensive as film. If anyone knows for sure please update me. Jon P.S. I like what Allen Daviau said when someone asked him how he liked shooting HD now, he said "I've been shooting HD for 30 years it's called film".

Can you imagine how much it would cost to repair a squirrel with carpel-tunnel syndrome? and paying into a 401k (in accorns) would be a pain every time you wanted to watch a movie. Its not worth it unless the squirrels also crack flinstones-style jokes when they are off. 'its a living' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
