– Channel 7 and 17, will be used for 4K broadcasting by NHK and commercial satellite broadcasting stations in future.
– The even channels will also be used for 4K/8K broadcasting when full service broadcasting starts in 2018.
– Full operation of 8K broadcasting will start in 2018 using channel 14.
32
NHK UHD satellite broadcasting
33. – MMT (MPEG Media Transport) distribution technology is highly compatible with IP networks and currently employed in 8K test
satellite broadcasting.
– An MMT multi-viewing system which can send multiple images to tablets in synchrony with TV broadcasts is exhibited at the NAB
show.
– Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications are also anticipated.

HD (1920×1080,50p) or 4K/UHD1 (3840×2160,50p)?
Draw a line up from your screen size and across from the viewing distance. The intersection
point will indicate how much resolution you will be able to perceive from that viewing
distance. For example, a 42” screen at 10’ (approximately 3× screen height), the typical
viewing distance for HD, you would get some benefit from 720P but would not be able to see
the full quality of 720P. To get the full benefit of 720P you’d have to move the seat closer, to
about 8’ from the screen. For the full benefit of 1080P, you’d need to be an uncomfortably
close 5’ from the screen.
As mentioned here, 8K-UHD-2 has many distinct characteristics not
available in traditional 2K broadcasting, including 4K and 8K resolution, a
wide color gamut, high dynamic range, 10- and 12- bit-depth, high frame
frequency, and 22.2 multichannel sounds. Therefore, the viewer may feel
a highly realistic sensation, as if he or she was on the spot, or as if the
object on screen was really there.

BSAT-4a
A transponder for even channels with left handed circularly polarized waves
A transponder for conventional odd channels with right-handed circularly polarized waves.
These are the channels assigned for satellite broadcasting.
Currently, odd channels with right-handed circularly polarized waves are
used for satellite broadcasting in Japan, and channel 17 is being used for
the 8K test broadcasting since 2016.
In preparation for the full service 4K8K broadcasting scheduled to start
in Dec. 2018, existing channels using right-handed circularly polarized
waves will be reallocated and bandwidth for 2K broadcasting will be
compressed to free channel 7. Channel 7, together with channel 17, will
be used for 4K broadcasting by NHK and commercial satellite
broadcasting stations.
At the last Octobre, Broadcasting Satellite System Corporation (B-SAT) ,
a Japanese broadcast satellite operator, successfully launched a new
broadcasting satellite called BSAT-4a.
BSAT-4a is equipped with a transponder for even channels with lefthanded
circularly polarized waves, in addition to a transponder for
conventional odd channels with right-handed circularly polarized waves,
These even channels will also be used for 4Kand 8K broadcasting when
full service broadcasting starts in 2018.
For 8K broadcasting, channel 14 will be used.
The New Transmission System of Mezzanine-compressed 8K over IP
NHK has developed a system for sending 8K video, audio and other program materials by a single Ethernet cable using IP signals. This transmission can be used for 8K program production by connecting the venue and broadcast stations by IP network.
To transmit 8K program materials over long distances, such as between Tokyo and Osaka, it has been necessary for 8K signals to compress from the 40 gigabits per second to several hundred megabits per second. The high compression rate causes deterioration to the image quality during program production and the compression and decryption processes also take several seconds, making the system unsuitable for live broadcasting.
The newly developed system has been designed for use on commercially available and diffused IP networks of 10 gigabits per second. The 8K video signals are transmitted after they are compressed to about 8 gigabits per second and packetized for IP. The processing times for compression and decryption are also extremely short at only several tens of microsecond. The relayed images retain their ultrahigh resolution and can be transmitted with low delay.
Converting the transmission into IP signals also makes it possible to send different types of signal, including internal communication signals as well as 8K video and audio, over the single IP circuit. Further, these signals can be sent in both directions between the broadcast station and venue for flexible 8K program production.
This group (SVIP = Define and research requirements for Studio Video over IP without SDI encapsulation) was formed on April 17, 2014. This activity group issued a Technical Recommendation (TR-03) on October 19, 2015 entitled "Transport of Uncompressed Elementary Stream Media over IP". This Technical Recommendation differs from current practices that bind video, audio, and ancillary data into the Serial Digital Interface (SDI) multiplex before encapsulation in IP, and instead provides for the carriage of video, audio, and ancillary data as separate elementary streams that can be individually forwarded through a network.
اشتهای امريکاييها به داشتن تلويزوين صفحه بزرگ دليل رشد تلويزيون UHD در اين کشور است. بيش ار ۸۰ در صد
تلويزيون های فروخته شده در امريکا در سال ۲۰۱۵ دارای صفحه بزرگتر از ۵۰ اينچ بوده اند. گرچه بنظر ميرسد
فروش رو بافول باشد، با اين حال پيش بينی ميشود تا سال ۲۰۲۰ بيش از ۵۰ در صد فروش گيرنده ها از نوع UHD
باشد.
گرچه تعداد صاحبان تلويزيون های UHD در امريکا بيش از همه جای دنيا است، ولی جديدا چين با واردات ۲۵
درصدی اين نوع تلويزيون از شرکت های TCL و Skyworth بالاترين گيرنده ها خواهد داشت. در اروپای غربی تعداد
اين نوع گيرنده در سال ۲۰۱۵ رشد زيادی داشته و ببالای ۵ ميليون در اين سال رسيد. کشور های انگليس و آلمان
هر يک ۱ ميليون گيرنده داشته اند، که بعد از امريکا و چين در جايگاه سوم و چهارم قرار دارند.
Mezzanine Compression
Applying modest levels of compression in the range 2:1 to 20:1 (depending on image format
and interface bandwidth requirements), would provide sufficient bandwidth reduction to
accommodate the transport of high bandwidth production image formats over the existing 3GSDI
infrastructure.
The concept of employing mezzanine compression to achieve real time streaming media
bandwidth reduction is not new. SMPTE RP 2047-1 VC-2 Mezzanine Level Compression of
1080P High Definition Video Sources was specifically designed to allow the transport of
1080p50/60 image formats with a nominal payload of 3Gbit/Sec over a SMPTE ST 292-1
1.5Gbit/Sec SDI interface for example.
In 2009, the Fraunhofer Institute and Gennum corporation presented a paper; “JPEG 2000
Mezzanine Compression for Real Time Digital Cinema”, at IBC. This paper proposed the
use of JPEG 2000 to facilitate the transport of 2K and 4K D-Cinema and 4K and 8K UHDTV
over the existing 3G-SDI infrastructures. This paper describes a complete system from DCinema/
UHDTV source to 3G-SDI including the details of transporting the JPEG 2000
compressed byte stream within 3G-SDI, using a novel and efficient packing and encapsulation
method that consumes only a fraction of the overhead used by current schemes.
Many other codec’s could also be applicable to this application such as J2K, .H.264, HEVC AVC
Ultra etc.
Two compression codec’s currently in revision or in development in the TC10E Essence
Committee of SMPTE could be considered as suitable candidates for such a mezzanine
compression application.
• ST 2042-1:2012 VC-2 Video Compression has recently been revised to add support for
4:4:4 processing and higher bit depth images. This standard already supports 2K, 4K
and 8K image format resolution at frame rates up to and including p50/60.
• Proposed ST 2073-1 VC-5 (CineForm codec) is currently under development. This
codec is unrestricted in terms of bit depth, sampling, frame rate and image format and so
could also be considered as an applicable candidate.
Additional standardization work to define a specific profile and bit stream that can be mapped to
the SDI interface would be required to ensure interoperability.
To ensure general acceptance within the industry, any such mezzanine compression scheme
would need to provide a low-latency low-loss profile and demonstrate excellent multi-pass
performance. At time of writing, no specific proposals have been made to standardize a
mezzanine compression system for this particular application
