The Super Hi-Vision (SHV) system has 60-Hz frame rate ultrahigh-definition images with a resolution four times higher than the current HDTV system, both horizontally and vertically, and 22.2 multi-channel sound conveying a strong sensation of reality.
This exhibit presents an amazing SHV video program and the program production techniques used to produce it. |
We want this television system to be a medium in the future, and during 2006, we made the following advances.
- Its video format has been standardized as an international standard (ITU-R BT.1769).
- Public demonstrations at events such as NAB2006 (Las Vegas, April 2006), IBC 2006 (Amsterdam, September 2006), and CEATEC2006 (Makuhari, October 2006) allowed visitors to experience first-hand the unconventional sensation of reality offered by SHV.
- A public SHV live relay broadcast of the "Kohaku Utagassen" year-end variety program was presented at the NHK Fureai Hall (in Shibuya) and a transmission experiment*1 was conducted, with images sent to Osaka via a network using the codec system. The experiment verified that SHV signals could be transmitted over a long distance.
|
| We will work to enhance the resolution of the imaging/display system, as well as its tone reproduction, to attain the full potential of SHV video. We will also conduct studies to examine the relationship between a broadcasting system conveying such strong sensations of reality and human sensory characteristics. |
