Yeah, I was thinking this exact same thing.

What about real time editing/transcoding of 4K?
jeffa4444 said:Sony could rightfully argue the F65 is 8K but outputs 4K, Red have both 6K and 8K cameras in the Weapon and Arri Alexa 65 is 6.5K. These cameras all have different size sensors the F65 being Super 35 (as is the Canon 8K camera), Red being approx. Vistavision (36x24mm) and the Alexa 65 being more like Hasselblad in sensor size (they use converted Fujinon / Hasselblad lenses). As such they all have different depth of field characteristics with the Alexa 65 having the shallowest apparent DOF.Mt Spokane Photography said:dilbert said:Are there any 8K projection systems?

The answer is No, but plans are laid, several years ago, in fact, work began.
Utube has 8K video, which is more of a stunt. Two years ago, LG demonstrated a 8K TV. Displays are on the way, as soon as there is 8K content, they will arrive.

It takes many years to develop a practical new system. Some broadcasters like NHK have said are going to 8K and are pushing hard. All the big companies are working on 8K. NHK has plans to test 8K Satellite broadcasts of the 2016 Olympics, and to use full scale 8K capture and broadcast of the 2020 Olympics in Japan. That seems questionable, or at least, I question that many individuals will have 8K capability, more likely, special theatres will be equipped to watch the Olympics in 8K via satellite or cable over prototype equipment.
Sony, Canon, Red, Arri, etc are certainly wanting to be chosen as the company to capture the 8K Video. The display is R&D, its being shown for PR purposes, but it also lets you know that 8K is coming, but not next week.
Of course, anyone can make a 8K output Video camera, but true broadcast quality 8K is a much more difficult thing.
I'd be surprised to see much in the way of 8K in 2020, but, at my age, I'd be happy just to still be posting here.
To my knowledge no 8K projector exists and most cinemas still have 2K projectors. The average multiplex has a screen with a 56ft diagonal that means to truly see 4K you must sit in the front three rows, for 8K you would sit in no mans land between the front row & the screen. For 8K TV the screen would need to grow larger for the same viewing distance as 4K (UHD) so practically 8K is only useful for over-sampling and larger color space.

roxics said:We don't need 8K displays. 8K cameras, yes, but not displays. Why does everyone think that just because we'll have the cameras we need the displays as well?
You always want a higher capture resolution than your display resolution if you can. Gives you more room to work, crop and crunch down those pixels into something nice and tight and sharp. Especially with bayer pattern sensors.

Yes but four times the resolution? That is like making yourself shoot with a FF camera to only ever crop to M4/3 sized output, or only ever using 1/4 your ff image, total waste of time and resources and 8K time and resources are substantial, there is already a lot of industry pushback on the relevance of even 4K, yes it is the buzzword, but people who actually work the images and have to work to production budgets are not seeing the advantages. 5K or 6K is fine for very high quality stabilized or down sampled 4K.
The arguement is somewhat distorted by the K race. No film is going to use an 8K super 35 sensor if it can get an 8K Vistavision sensor its not simply about resolution its about apparent depth of field, whether it looks filmic or not, choice of lenses (which also impart a look) is one of the biggest factors DOPs look at and discuss with directors.roxics said:privatebydesign said:roxics said:We don't need 8K displays. 8K cameras, yes, but not displays.

I don't disagree with you. My point was, just because you have 8K cameras doesn't mean you need 8K displays to go with them. I agree that 8K is probably overkill to begin with for most situations. Especially once you factor in motion blur from typical 24/25fps frame rates and handheld work that seems to be all the rage these days. Plus anything that isn't tack sharp focus to begin with.
