ITU approves NHK's Super Hi-Vision as 8K standard, sets the UHDTV ball rolling very slowly:
We'd heard that the International Telecommunication Union was close to
approving Super Hi-Vision as an
Ultra High Definition TV standard, and the UN agency hasn't waited long to confirm the rumors. The recommendation to use
NHK's 7,680 x 4,320 format has gone unopposed and should define the parameters for
incredibly detailed 8K video worldwide. This shouldn't lead anyone to return that
4K TV just yet -- once again, it's important to remember that NHK still won't start any kind of wider testing until 2020. That's also assuming that the first 8K sets are down to Earth instead of the
incredibly expensive 145-inch variety.
