In the one-year World Cup, many small partners once again had a difficult day and night to watch and get up. At this time, who can have a big screen, high-definition TV, that is definitely the focus of the small group. Although this year's World Cup has supported 4K broadcast, but do you imagine watching the World Cup in 8K resolution? What is the experience of watching the World Cup in the resolution of 8K? In the resolution of 4.3 times the resolution of the human eye, I believe players will be able to see every move.
This idea sounds very good, but today we seem to have a certain distance from the arrival of the 8K era. How far is 8K from us? In fact, we are now standing in front of the 'turning point' of 8K development. 8K is in close proximity to life.
Hardware strength: 8K TV has mass production capacity
From a hardware point of view, 8K TVs will take further steps in vector production in recent years. In August of 2017, Sharp released the world's first consumer-grade 8K TV, and at a relatively low price, the 8K products have a real chance. Into the consumer's home. Sharp released 8K television this move opened the prelude to 8K evolution of television, this year's Global Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2018), many television brands have exhibited a resolution of 8K TV products.
On the other hand, the panel necessary for mass production of 8K equipment will gradually be met in recent years. Panel tycoon Foxconn spent a huge amount of 61 billion yuan in Guangzhou last year to build a 10.5 generation panel line in Guangzhou, and the panel plant has started construction. It will be put into production this year. BOE also has a 10.5 generation panel line, which has been put into production in advance. It is expected to provide 8K TV panels for more manufacturers. In addition, panel makers such as China Star Optoelectronics, Samsung, LGD, and TCL have successively opened large-size 8K panels. Panel line, to promote the early arrival of 8K products.
Don't worry about 'Turtle Speed' 5G is coming soon
For 8K, due to the increased definition, it occupies 4 times the memory of 4K video. The memory occupied by ordinary 4K movies can reach the TB level, not to mention the higher definition 8K content, the memory occupied by it must be easy. Reaching a few TB. Caused a problem, the current network transmission speed can not support the spread of 8K content.
But with the landing of 5G technology, 8K's transmission problems will be completely overcome. 5G, the fifth generation mobile communication technology, is a new network technology after 4G. Compared with the current network transmission speed, 5G The maximum download speed of the network will reach 1.25GB/s, which is equivalent to a 1080P full HD movie that can be downloaded in a few seconds. When the 5G network is formally launched, 8K video will no longer have any fear with the network transmission speed, and will allow 8K. Play a unique use in more scenes.
Some time ago, Foxconn collaborated with the Oriental Pearl and filmed the 8K Shanghai City Promo "YES! Shanghai." After cooperating with the Oriental Pearl, China Telecom Shanghai, Best Connect, Foxconn, etc., this 8K video finally passed through the 5G network. The Shangshi Building was officially unveiled. This is also the fruit of Sharp's '5G+8K' strategy.
Content is scarce? Vendors have started to move
A few years ago, when 4K just entered the market, some consumers questioned the lack of 4K content and seriously hampered the development of 4K. Some consumers will inevitably question 8K TV. Actually, the current target is 8K. In terms of content, many vendors already have new moves.
Previously, Sharp and the Japanese manufacturer ASTRODESIGN collaborated on the development of an 8K consumer camcorder, and through Foxconn's commitment to energy, the production cost was drastically reduced, and more affordable prices enabled more people to participate in the production of 8K content. Earlier this year, Sony was in St. The Cathedral of Peter also shot the first 8K HDR video.
Japan’s NHK radio station has already advanced the trial time of the 8K channel from 2020 to the end of 2018. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games, the 8K broadcast will also be truly into the eyes of consumers. When the 8K content is continuously produced Out, I believe the future is still a new generation of 8K technology.
From the once-pursued 1080P to the current 8K, the continuous advancement of technology has caused a drastic change in our lifestyle. We believe that when the 8K era officially comes, we will enjoy a more convenient, high-quality lifestyle. The arrival of that day is clearly close at hand.
