33 megapixel Super Hi-Vision (Ultra HDTV) could be on the air in 2015


1080p and QuadHD / 4K can take a step back, the Japanese government has announced plans to bring Super Hi-Vision (a.k.a. Ultra High Definition) to life as a broadcast standard by 2015. With its 33 megapixel (7,680 x 4,320) resolution and 22.2 channel surround sound, challenges so far have included building a camera that can record it, and equipment to transfer the 24Gbps uncompressed stream.


"Holy crap! Can you imagine playing videogames on this sucker? - And you'll be able to notice every single toupee hair on Donald Trump in Ultra-HD!"
