Our very own Allan Boyd was at a special screening at BBC Scotland, Pacific Quay of selected highlights from the Olympics filmed bv NHK in 8k Super High Vision with a 22.2 channel surround sound system.
\nFilmed via one of only a handful of\u00a0 Super High Vision Cameras in the world\u00a0 alongside a revolutionary 22 channel live recording facility \u2013 the signal was broadcast over \u201cJANET\u201d The UK’s research and development – superfast 400Gbit\/s high bandwith network.
\nThe event had a capacity of around 100 people with a wall filling screen which must have easily been 8m wide. The 33.2 mega pixel image at 120 Frames\/sec was projected\u00a0 via a heavily modified JVC Dila Projector (\u00a34k with e-shift) Sound was via a Yamaha Processor and RCF Monitors.
\n\u201cIt was an amazinginly immersive experience \u2013 the clarity on the image combined with the sheer variety of atmospheric sound coming at you from every angle \u2013 took the viewer straight into the middle of the performance.\u201d \u201cWatching Chris Hoy as he approached the finish line \u2013 the volume of the crowd seemingly around you just built and built \u2013 I was tempted to stand up and cheer as I felt everyone else around me already had.\u201d We may be a few years away from seeing anything like this technology available in the home \u2013 however this is undoubtedly the future and its really exciting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
