Status of 4K video production
• 4K is not yet done much.
• Hollywood uses 4K already but not all. (Off line editing)
• 4K broadcast has been announced in Brazil, Korea,
Japan etc. Targeting the World Cup.
• Test live broadcast of 4K soccer game has been done in
Japan in order to confirm the feasibility.
• 4K test has been done in Europe, EBU etc.
• Medical use is under testing in Japan, also in USA.
• Video conference system needs ultra-high-resolution.

4K Camera overview
 Many available
 Still camera evolved to 4K movie / Broadcast HD camera
evolved to 4K
 Most demand is cinema use
 Record the RAW signal and transfer to editing system.
Smooth data transfer to the non-linear editing, is very
important.
 Live 4K camera is not a main stream yet.
 Max size of real-time monitoring is still HD. (View finder)

Switcher
 4K M/E (Mixer/Effect, Keyer) is not available yet
 4K live production is not handy
 Decompose one 4K signal into 4 HDTV lines and
process them when real-time is required
 There's few real-time 4K digital processing system. (eg.
"Pablo" by Quantel, color correction)

Non-linear editing
 4K mainstream is non-linear editing production. Off line
editing on PC and rendering then transfer to recorder or
burn DVD
 Most of the non-linear editing soft can handle 4K
 Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media
Composer, Sony Vegas Pro
 Editing procedure is advanced because of cinema use
（eg. Red one＋Premier Pro）
 Many have DVD and Blu-Ray authoring function

・Cinema production is matured in Hollywood
・Live production is not yet. Switcher is needed.
・Up-conversion of 2K to 4K is used
・Use of 4K other than video production is not yet
done.

Status of 8K video production
• 8K real-time production is available compared to 4K. The
reason is NHK promoting it
• Public viewing of London Olympic
Three live ８K cameras, switched on the site, transfer un-compressed
signal to studio in BBC via optical fiber, recorded in BBC and encode
in H.265 and transmit to Japan and US.
• 8K non-linear editing systems in Japan (Sapporo, BUG)
• Event use in NHK Studio Park, real-time 8K production

4K Game
 4K Game has huge impact
 Normally, 4K（2K） game is not so many due to the
production cost
 However, it is still very good when present PC game
(for HD) in 4K system
 Developing "serious game" is also the key
 We have the 4K game development environment.
Don't miss the high potential.
